Parental Control

why the hell would you want to blanket-block TLS (https)? are you trying to make whoever uses the machine *less* safe and bar them from a load of useful educational sites? seems kinda counter-intuitive...

also: bad question for 4chan, but i'm sure there's a thousand blogs of concerned upstanding parents comparing the features of various pieces of surveillance and blocking software.

Because you can't see what's going on, duh.

If you wanna see what's going on, go full creep and VNC that shit.

Also, as someone who, amongst other things works in network security, you can't block shit in a safe way unless it's a white list instead of a black list. And many sites, including most email services and social network sites, don't let you log in if you're not under SSL (though of course, if you wanna creep, you can always MITM and use auditing tools like Moxie's sslstrip to fake ssl to the server while you're getting all the traffic in the middle).

OR, you could be a responsible parent, talk to your children, properly explain why you don't want them to access whatever you don't want them to access, and trust in not only your children, but in the fact that your concerns are sound and not just bullshit.

Oh, also, having children is the worst crime you could ever commit, you selfish cunt. Read some Schopenhauer.

Or just teach them about life before they learn about it from their friends and the internet. Better they learn about shit from their parents than from people you don't know who could have some ulterior motive. Innocence may be cute but it isn't the least bit safe. This really is the worst place to ask for such software though. I'm sure a google search would be several orders of magnitude more helpful for parenting advice than a bunch of anonymous perverts on an anime website.

You'd be surprised.

Well, you're unlikely get it by asking for it here, at least. I'll admit I've gotten some of my most helpful guidance from off-topic discussions on other boards though.

>>27575
yeah, but DNS lookup is always unencrypted as is the target IP, so even if they use https and delete the history you could know which sites they were on.

soemthing's fishy. be upfront - what the hell are you planning to do? knows about https being a problem for monitoring content, but too dumb to find a parental control software themselves. less interested in blockig than in creeping. hasn't asked about mobile devices, even though pretty much every kid on the planet runs around with pocket internet these days...

what kind of fishy attack are you planning really while playing the concerned parent card?

oh god, this so much!

also, you really think someone asking on 4chan for parental control software is bright enough for a man in the middle?

Sure.

Not OP though. But still, he asked how, I explained how.

Implying my post >>27622 isn't sound advice.
