Surf Knight1.5

It’s a pretty well-known fact that the Internet is a pretty dangerous place. Even youngsters go online nowadays, so it’s a good idea to make sure that your kids stay away from dangerous types of content. In this regard, Surf Knight comes with a set of powerful tools with which to block potentially harmful content, and provide a great deal of control options.

Configure control levels

The application gets installed before you realize, but before this is possible and functionality is enabled, you need to check whether or not your PC is fitted with .NET Framework, even though modern Windows iterations come with it as a default feature.A master password is required on startup, and only after configuring one can you access all other features. The configuration window is where all these operations are available. A slider gives you the possibility to set parental control efficiency, ranging from low to high, with settings automatically toggled accordingly.

Leaves much to be desired

There’s also the possibility to take matters into your own hands to set up control. The set of options at your disposal make it possible to enable blocked mode, define a list of blocked web pages, toggle search bar visibility, block downloads and pop-ups, and a few more.Some degree of security is provided by default, but for this to be possible the application attempts to connect to a specific source, and this is not always a successful operation. Most of the time you can end up in a pretty frustrating error cycle. Even so, the visual design feels rough around the edges, and modern web pages are not always supported.

In conclusion

All things considered, we can state that Surf Knight comes with good intentions, but isn’t really prepared to deliver what it wants. Connection errors can keep you from reaching any other page, while most blocked items need to be manually configured.
