So, my children, 7 and 9, both wanted computers for Christmas. A.) because they want to play games with the grown ups, and B) because at school computer time is a reward, so having one is amazing or whatever.
Anyway, our Christmas present to the kids was completely redoing their room, new paint, new furniture, new beds... and yes, even computers. Now, I'm only finishing this transformation tonight, after 6 weekends of labor. I create admin accounts for the parents on the computers (win 10) and standard accounts for the kids. I install Steam and set them up with accounts. I just sort of assumed locking stuff down as far as web filtering goes would be a quick google search away.
I was wrong.
Most of the child proofing options I've found are limited to android/ios apps (Google family mode, Youtube Kids, etc) and just don't have a PC equivalent that I'm seeing. I do see some software, for example Net Nanny, that seem to do it, but they include all sorts of other features I don't really need, and come with a cost. I was really expecting that there was just a chrome plugin "Kids mode" or something.
Anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions appreciated. I want to play Starbound with my kids, and not worry one of them is going to open a web browser, type "Star bound" in, and get results for "Hot Starlette bound, gagged, and used publicly!". I only want those results on my PC! haha
