Looking back, I can see how the software did it's job. I know the processes, the procedures, and the methods that software like this employs. I already know that the newest Net Nanny is going to work, and work well. The real question, at least for me, is “is Net Nanny still a company that I can trust, and is the application on par with its competition?”

Features

Net Nanny has all of the standard features (blacklisting, domain filtering, etc) along with some fantastic features, such as remote management (gimmick) and dynamic content filtering (genius).

Dynamic content filtering basically filters based on the content as opposed to the website keyword. If you were to write an article on breasts, Net Nanny would block it. If you changed your website and made it about chicken breasts, Net Nanny would rescan the site and allow you access. Pretty nifty, huh?

Using Net Nanny

Net Nanny comes at a $35/year premium, but if you have kids yo can probably see how that is well worth it. During our testing, we found that every part of the application functioned exactly how we expected it. There were no aspects of the application which seemed to be overbearing or underdeveloped.

The software, surprisingly enough, did not over filter. Content that was okay to be displayed as per our configuration generally was, and it was rare that we had to go in and specify the program to allow access to a certain website. This software was designed for the average person, and we were glad to see that nothing required a degree in computing science to get running.

Conclusion

The software is just like I remember it from my childhood, only it's grown and matured. It's just as good as it every was, and probably better.
