Frequently Asked Questions

How do I block my child from viewing inappropriate content?

Level 1 is the most restrictive level. All Internet activity (browser, instant messaging (IM) and chat) will be blocked, filtered and completely monitored for any inappropriate content. This includes inappropriate conduct while instant messaging or chatting with others. This includes both sides of the conversation. Sentry Parental Controls particularly looks for potential online sexual predators asking your children personal questions. This desktop environment level is designed to intervene prior to any violation and notify you instantly.
