At least, you'd probably need to pay a membership fee. I don't believe there is any way for individual schools to have access to the IWF block list. A lot of ISPs have IWF filters anyway, so you may well already be filtered (but obviously without the ability to generate reports).
It offers many features like Active Directory integration, User or Group based policy' and is an app. You can monitor Internet usage in your network and block user request for websites with NxFilter. We are in the process of testing an open source web filtering solution and have been informed that we may possibly need to ensure that we also include the Internet Watch Foundation block list in our list of sites that are blocked.įrom what I can see the number of domains blocked by the IWF list is less than those on public lists such as Shalla Secure Services.Ĭan anyone confirm it is a definite requirement for UK secondary schools to ensure that their content filters include the sites listed in IWF's list?The requirements are pretty open to interpretation - I think there are only vague statements about ensuring children are protected from inappropriate or illegal content rather than a specific requirement to use the IWF list.Īs you've noticed, the IWF list is tiny compared to other block lists - the IWF list only includes (probably-)illegal content, so it is not a substitute for other filters. NxFilter is described as 'freeware web filtering software controlling user activity on Internet.
