The enemy within: Stop students from bypassing your defenses

The enemy within:

Stop students from bypassing your defenses

The threat of the web

The web has replaced email as the primary entry point for malware into a network, with a brand new infected webpage discovered approximately every 4.5 seconds1. The majority of these are legitimate sites – government agencies, Google, MySpace, Facebook, the Cambridge Dictionary, BusinessWeek, and many more have all fallen victim to hackers. Clicking on such pages poses a multitude of risks to networks, including the loss of confidential information, virus and spyware infection and botnet recruitment.

Schools in the front line

K-12 schools are particularly at risk from web-delivered malware – and it is often introduced by the very people they need to protect: students. Not only are many children extremely technically skilled, but they have ample opportunity to work unobserved in internet-connected computer labs and libraries, which are used by hundreds of different students every day.

Unlike corporate environments, where adult users have jobs, salaries and reputations to worry about, K-12 students often don’t know or don’t care about the consequences of their actions to the school network. Bypassing network controls to access restricted websites is usually just considered an entertaining challenge, or a way to burnish an anti-establishment image. However, in addition to ensuring their own network security, schools are held responsible by parents and state and federal laws – such as the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) – with protecting young, impressionable minds from web predators and harmful content. One example of a student bypassing a school’s web filters involved an eighth grader in Texas who downloaded pornography during a study group2.

Bypassing web filters

Students across North America are increasingly turning to anonymizing proxies to bypass their school’s web filters to view pornography or access banned social networking sites. Anonymizing proxies are widespread, with several hundred new proxies published daily. Easy to access and difficult for traditional security software to detect, anonymizing proxies are web sites that trick an organization’s web filter into thinking the user is browsing legitimate content. The user visits the anonymizing site first and enters their intended URL, and the proxy then opens a portal to the student’s desired destination. Traditional web filters only identify the anonymizing proxy URL, not the destination URL, and as such often allow the request. In some cases, the student simply configures his or her web browser to point automatically to the anonymizing proxy, ensuring that all web activity is hidden.

K-12 schools are particularly at risk from web-delivered malware – and it is often introduced by the very people they need to protect: students.

Aside from disguising banned content, anonymizing proxies change constantly, with scores of new ones appearing daily. K-12 school IT administrators spend hours each week tracking down and blocking anonymizing proxies, significantly affecting resources and overheads.

Many web sites also offer daily updated lists of anonymizing proxies. A quick Google search will produce hundreds of anonymizing proxy sites. There are even video instructions on YouTube that show students how to construct one. It is also not difficult for computer savvy students to set up their own anonymizing proxies at home, using one of the many free utilities available online.

Defeating anonymizing proxies

There are a number of ways that schools can complement their existing web filtering technology to identify and block anonymizing proxies:

Reputation detection services••

Real-time proxy detection••

User education••

Reputation detection services

Reputation detection services constantly track publicly known anonymizing proxy sites and the forums3 that exchange their details. They are then able to update a school’s web filters – ideally every 15 minutes or faster – to ensure that the web gateway security solution stays ahead of the student grapevine. Reducing the amount of time an anonymizing proxy is available to a student provides a major inconvenience to their ability to track and use such services.

Real-time proxy detection

Some anonymizing proxies are kept a closely guarded secret, or built at home for the exclusive use of one person. Because their details are not shared they are immune to reputation detection services and must be tracked in real time.

Real-time detection monitors and analyzes all web requests and responses for signs that traffic is being routed through an anonymizing proxy. If one is detected, the request can be blocked. Signs that a student is using an anonymizing proxy include URL strings hidden within other URLs, and partially encrypted URLs. Real-time detection relies on strong decryption capabilities, as many proxies use encryption to hide their actions.

Anonymizing proxies are widespread, with several hundred new proxies published daily.

User education

User education is always a central pillar of enforcing a web acceptable use policy (AUP), and many schools require students and their parents to formally sign their acceptance of such policies and ensure that they are aware of the consequences of violating them. AUPs should always contain a clause forbidding the use of anonymizing proxies, and state that controls are in place to monitor and detect their use. Formal AUPs do deter many students from trying to get around the rules, particularly if that information is part of a memo sent to parents.

Many schools also run internet safety classes as part of their computer curriculum, which can be utilized to explain more fully the dangers of anonymizing proxies and the thinking behind the AUP.

Summary

Anonymizing proxies allow students to bypass their school’s web filters to access inappropriate and blocked content. Their large and ever-changing numbers and ease-of-use make them difficult to block, and schools can find themselves legally liable if minors are accessing pornography and other sites from within the network. However, reputation and real-time detection will identify and block anonymizing proxies, and user education will ensure that students and parents are aware of the risks in bypassing web filters.


Exposing The Myth: “I’m From The Government And I’m Here To Help You”

Probably at some point in our nation’s past, this was a true statement: “I’m from the government and I am here to help you.” That was when government was much smaller and more focused on a limited set of functions. So limited, in fact, that government was actually good at getting some problems solved. However, given the behavior of today’s government functions, personnel, and the American political class these past few years, it is probably true that this statement is no longer a fact, it is just a myth. Consider the following myth busting behaviors:

1) The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) is responsible for overseeing the integrity of the accounting processes and accuracy of public companies’ financials. They were obviously asleep at the wheel when many of Wall Street’s largest financial firms, rapidly and without warning, either went bankrupt or dove into deep financial stress at the onset of the greatest financial collapse in this country since the Great Depression. How did this economic and financial fiasco occur with almost no advance warning by the SEC? A possible answer was published in an April 23, 2010 Associated Press article which reported on the findings of an SEC Inspector General analysis. The analysis found that more than two and half dozen SEC employees were found to have used their government issued computers to search the Internet for pornography during the time they should have been hard at work protecting the interests of Americans who invest in public companies. As examples of their findings, one SEC attorney spent up to eight hours a day downloading pornography, burning his findings to CDs and DVD discs once his hard drive filled up with the pornographic material. An SEC accountant was blocked over 16,000 times in one month (or about 800 times a day, 10 times an hour) from visiting pornographic websites yet he was able to eventually collect a collection of pornographic material on his government computer by using a method to bypass the SEC filters. Seventeen of the pornography seekers at the SEC were considered “senior level” employees, earning salaries up to 2,000 a year. These government employees were obviously too busy to help protect the interests of the American investors, people who lost untold billions of dollars as a result of the financial crisis that the SEC staff never saw coming.

2) In January of this year, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a report that concluded the 0 billion that the Federal government had spent on the Head Start program since 1965 has no long lasting benefits to the children that had been enrolled in the program. Another analysis, this one conducted by the Heritage Foundation found similar results: “Head Start has little to no effect on cognitive, socio-emotional, health, and parenting outcomes of children participating in the program.” Thus, rather than delivering the benefits that Head Start is supposed to deliver, we are left with an annual multi billion set of early education government programs that are little more than a government subsidized baby sitting service.

3) In the April 26, 2010 issue of Newweek magazine, an article by Dan Stockman exposed the fact that the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) is not doing a lot of protecting, at least relative to the Clean Air Act. According to research done by Mr. Stockman, his analysis of the EPA’s public database of enforcement records showed that on a national basis, more than 750 companies have been in continuous violation of clean air laws since 2007. Included in these 750 companies were over two hundred companies defined as high priority because of the severity of their offenses. What good is having a law and identifying offenders if there are no consequences or changes in behavior? Not very helpful.

4) In the April 9, 2010 issue of The Week magazine, there was a short article about how shoddy the work at the Energy Department is relative to classifying products as deserving of a high energy saving appliance rating within the EnergyStar program. A company who gets an EnergyStar rating can market the energy efficiency of their product, as approved by the government, and theoretically sell more products and/or sell them at a higher price. Consumers look for the EnergyStar designation with the assumption being that these are good deals from a cost of energy perspective. One problem though. The article reported on a sting operation by Federal regulators that sent bogus designs to the people running the EnergyStar testing program. These bogus products included a gasoline powered alarm clock (certainly not a very efficient way to tell time) and a feather duster attached to a space heater that had been called an “air filter” by the regulators. Unfortunately, both of these bogus products and most of the others were awarded the EnergyStar status by the Energy Department. Obviously, the Energy Department is not here to help you distinguish energy efficient products from those that are not if these somewhat outrageous fake products can pass the current energy efficiency standards in the inspection process.

5) Most people probably know that Toyota has been having a spate of safety problems with it’s cars over the past few months, with accusations that these safety problems have resulted in traffic fatalities. What most people do not know, as reported in the March 1, 2010 issue of Businessweek, the government had opened, and shortly thereafter closed, eight inquiries into the problem with Toyota products, starting back in 2003. In all eight cases they found no significant problems and closed all probes with no action taken. It was not until the past year or so that the government finally recognized that maybe there is a problem and Toyota was finally forced to take remedial action on its vehicles. The article points out the fact that the two government interface executives at Toyota used to work for the very government agency responsible for automobile safety, implying that the government might have gone easy on their former co-workers. Given that upwards of a hundred Americans may have died as a result of faulty Toyota products, it does not look like the government is helping anyone here either.

6) Several years ago the government belatedly pulled a series of imported toy products from China off of the shelf because the products were made using lead based materials that could seriously hurt a child if the the child put a toy in their mouths and the lead entered their systems. While the good news is the government safety organization finally got the products off of the shelves, it would have been much better if they had never entered the country in the first place, Even worse, according to a May 20, 2010 Associated Press article, the overseas producers simply replaced their lead laced products with cadmium laced products which are just as dangerous. One would have thought the government would have been a little more alert to these types of products since they had just gone through the lead based experience. Alas, they were no better the second time around as the cadmium products came ashore.

7) A May 17, 2010 Associated Press article reported on the many oversights and incompetence of Federal employees of the Minerals Management Service (MMS) Federal agency, the agency responsible for overseeing the safety of oil rigs in the Gulf Of Mexico. According to the article and an internal report, not as many inspections were done as required, many MMS employees received hunting and fishing vacations along with other gifts from the same companies they were supposed to keep in line from a safety perspective, some MMS employees were inspecting oil rigs of companies at the same time they were in negotiations for employment by those companies, and some MMS employees admitted being addicted to illegal drugs while being responsible for safety inspections and compliance. These Federal employees were obviously little help in preventing the devastating Gulf oil spill.

8) The Department Of Homeland Security has certainly not been helpful. This past December, a would be terrorist traveled from Somalia to the skies over Detroit and would have blown up the airliner he was in if his underwear bomb had not malfunctioned. In the spring, another would be terrorist almost blew up a car bomb on the streets of Time Square which failed to explode only because of a defective bomb. Unknown numbers of illegal aliens and drugs, and who knows what else, continue to flood over our southern border with Mexico. Are we feeling secure yet?

9) In a related non-helpful effort, an article in the June 11, 2010 issue of The Week magazine recalled a resolution from the House of Representatives in 1986. At that time, the House demanded that the Pentagon seal our borders within 45 days against illegal drugs. Looks like they missed that deadline.

10) The No Children Left Behind legislation from the Bush administration has proven to be unsuccessful in raising the lower than expected learning levels of American children relative to the education of children in many other countries. Thus, nothing has changed since the Reagan administration issued its scathing report on American public schools in 1982, “A Nation At Risk.” Thus, the American political class and its government processes have been unhelpful for at least twenty eight years in raising education standards and output of the country.

11) On the foreign affairs front, government and the political class have not been very helpful either. Two renegade countries, North Korea and Iran, with economies and populations that are just a small fraction the size of the United States, will both soon have the ability and intention of creating and stockpiling nuclear weapons. Unstable leadership in these countries is not a long term formula for safety and security.

12) In the face of all of these failures, what have the politicians been working on during the past year that might eventually help all of us live a better life? A California Congresswoman and her staff worked on legislation that would establish Federal regulations for the sound volume of television commercials, another Congressman was working on legislation that would prevent male dysfunction commercials from airing on television, another Congressman and his staff worked on legislation to give pet owners a tax deduction in these hard economic times, and many Washington politicians were involved in the debate on how to get a national college football playoff system in place. How many of these items would fall in the top 20 issues facing most Americans today? Probably not many. Politicians spend time on these small, insignificant issues while the big issues of public education, energy policy, leaky borders, high health care costs, skyrocketing national debt levels, and high unemployment continue to grow unabated.

13) Finally, the biggest and most widespread non-help in the past sixty years was obviously related to the financial crash and economic downturn of the past few years. Numerous government agencies were absolutely no help in foreseeing and managing the housing and banking crisis that caused the so-called “Great Recession.” These Federal government entities include Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, SEC, Treasury Department, Federal Reserve, House of Representatives housing and banking committees, Senate housing and banking committees, the FDIC, the FHA, the Bush administration, the Obama administration, and any number of other unhelpful government organizations. If these agencies and politicians could not  see this great, historic economic crisis coming until it was way too late to do anything, what makes us think they have any chance in successfully managing the smaller, more subtle aspects of the economy?

Did we leave anyone out? We need to get over the myth that government is somehow an efficient and effective ally in our lives. The above examples should be proof of that. Many Americans still think that once a law is passed or a program established that the battle is over and everything will be great: government workers and agencies taking care of things in a super efficient manner at a reasonable cost. Given the above list of incompetencies and the record, sky high national debt levels we have, we are getting the worst of all possible combinations – high cost, low quality.

We need to start a long term, systematic downsizing of government in order to reduce our national debt and get government smaller and more focused on just the important, major issues of our times, which does not include the sound volume of television commercials. The logic is if the political class and government agencies have less to worry about, they may actually get good at a few things rather than being incompetent in a wide range of things. It makes no sense to continue to support a government bureaucracy when all we get is the low performance or non-performance described above. Drastically downsize and focus, that is what must be done to get us out of the high cost/low quality zone into the low cost/high quality zone. Then, and only then, might the myth “I’m from the government and I am here to help you” actually become a reality again.


Porn Star Semen from Your Penis

To increase semen to porn star quantities, there are things you can do. What you must observe is generally a healthy lifestyle. You must balance your food intake, drink lots of water and maintain an active lifestyle. Healthy living surely has its benefits and having sufficient ejaculatory volume is among them.

Food for thought. What you eat provides a huge impact to your health and the amount of semen you ejaculate. Protein-rich foods are generally the diet of choice if you’re looking to increase semen volume. Animal sources such as pork, beef, chicken, fish, liver, milk, eggs, and cheese are very excellent sources of protein. If you are vegetarian, cowpeas, seaweeds, tofu, pumpkin leaves, nuts and seeds provide good alternative. You’d do well to stay away from fatty foods as these will not help you at all.

Water therapy. Since semen is made up of water, it only makes sense to constantly drink ample amount of water everyday. As you know, sufficient water in the body has more benefits than one. Ensuring that your body is never deprived of fluids will help increase semen. Although, you are advised to stay away from beer and other liquors since they give a bad taste to your sperm. Remember that semen is not really good-tasting. Adding beer flavor will only make it worse.

Move it. Exercising is found to increase the level of testosterone in the blood. Aside from its role in the maturation of the secondary male characteristics, it also aids in the production of normal and healthy sperm by activating a certain kind of cell. With low blood levels of testosterone, virility will take a free fall.

High on drugs. Supplements like vitamins C and E, Zinc, Selenium, L-Carnitine, L-Arginine, and the essential fatty acids all play certain roles in the production of healthy normal sperm, and increase production, quality and motility.

If you want to have a serious advantage to increase semen, Semenax can give you the boost you need. It is made of time proven herbs and scientifically tested amino acids to provide not just increased sperm and motility but also enhanced overall sexual desire, longer and more satisfying ejaculations along with harder and longer erections. It doesn’t stop there; you also get longer sex due to delayed ejaculation. Semenaxsale.com is the site to be if you’re looking to get your own stash.

Protecting Pupils From Porn

A recent audit undertaken by an Irish company in a high school uncovered inappropriate images on every PC scanned, which is nearly 5 times the average figure found in corporations and the number of illicit images found per Megabyte was nearly 10 times the corporate average. Some put this down to the fact that corporations implement more advanced preventative technology, but this is simply not the case. The truth is that students are more inquisitive and adept at finding routes around gateway prevention systems.

There are a myriad of ways that illegal or inappropriate images can get on to the desktop and the school network other than via the Internet. Typically, a computer will have conventional points of entry such as CD/DVD, Ethernet card, serial and parallel ports; modern connectivity protocols such as USB have opened computers up to multiple new hardware devices with very high data transfer rates. The ability to plug and play using USB has meant an extremely rapid introduction of storage devices such as portable hard drives, PDAs and memory sticks that are very hard for schools to monitor and control.

Unmonitored web activity on computers and PDAs at home is now widespread. This is a situation that will only get worse with the rise in easy instant connectivity to WiFi hotspots and broadband at home. In addition peer to peer communications, encryption of transmitted data and secure internet connections will all bypass or compromise any school’s gateway filtering solutions.

The majority of schools that want to protect themselves from the effects of illegal and inappropriate images rely solely on image protection at the internet gateway that works by blocking traffic from a banned list of sites. But the mere fact that 20,000 new pornographic web pages are launched per day means that it is impossible to keep an up to date list of harmful sites. Such systems also do nothing to counteract increased threats from new technologies such as PDAs, memory sticks, DVDs CDs, digital cameras and camera phones.

UK Legislation

Worryingly, many head teachers are unaware that they and their Local Education Authority could be held criminally and civilly liable if illegal images are found on school computers. Put simply, there can be huge legal, financial and reputational implications for schools, local education authorities and head teachers if they do not take appropriate measures to ensure illegal and inappropriate images are not stored on school computer systems. To exacerbate things, UK law is changing to make it illegal to possess extreme pornography, in addition to child pornography, containing explicit actual scenes or realistic depictions of necrophilia, violent pornography and bestiality. In many other jurisdictions, such images are not illegal (unlike child pornography) and can be found easily on many websites creating an additional threat to schools.

No nudes is good nudes

The shear quantity of images found in the recent schools audit emphasizes the fact that gateway security technology alone is not sufficient to prevent inappropriate and illegal images in the workplace. What is needed is some additional form of desktop image detection software. The Monitor, for example, is capable of monitoring, intercepting and even obscuring any illicit content that is being displayed on a computer screen. Regardless of how it got there, the underlying application used to view it, file format or encryption protocol, if a pupil attempts to view illicit image content on the screen and it contains illegal or inappropriate images it will be blocked, blurred or simply captured and an alert generated.

The Auditor on the other hand is a fully featured image scanning and image incident management tool designed to detect and handle illicit images on IT resources such as desktop computers, network servers, email accounts, notebook PCs and PDAs. The software carries out a full audit scan of image material stored on IT assets and ranks them on the basis of their inappropriateness. Suspect images, which transgress a pre-defined threshold, are automatically presented to the designated administrator in a user-friendly gallery.

The scan provides a full report on its findings and the administrator can add any inappropriate images found to a case file. If configured to do so, the auditor can also remove inappropriate images stored on suspect computers. It is only through a combination of web filtering and live monitoring of what images are actually being displayed on the desktop that an organization can truly stop these activities in the workplace and be protected against the legal and financial consequences of illegal content.

No, thank you and Stay Away from Negative Influences

Vulnerable minds get prejudiced by adult behavior and deeds and the media. Peer pressure has an effect on not only children and adolescents; it is also ubiquitous in adults. It shows a lack of confidence when people do not have the nerves to say “No, thank you,” and excuse themselves from negative influences. Now, let us take a look at these negative influences?

Negative people
The regrettable part of life is as Oliver Wendall Holmes once said, “Most people go to their graves, with music still in them.” We don’t accomplish brilliance because of our own lack of vision. If you are desperate to soar like an eagle, you have to learn the method of an eagle. If you connect with achievers, you will become one. If you associate with givers, you will become one. If you link with negative people, you will become one. Whenever people succeed in life, mean people will take cracks at them and try to drag them down. When you say no to fight those petty people, you win. In martial arts, they teach that when someone takes a crack at you, instead of blocking you should step away. Why? Blocking requires energy. Why not use it more creatively? Likewise, in order to fight mean people, you have to come down to their level. That is what they want, because now you are one of them. Don’t allow negative people drag you down. Remember that your character is not only judged by the company you keep but also by the company you avoid.

Smoking, Drugs and Alcohol
I’m sure you have noticed that in some countries drinking has become a national pastime. If you don’t drink, they look at you as if there is something wrong. Their motto is: “It doesn’t matter how bad your English is, as long as your Scotch is good.” Drinking and smoking are glamorized today. It all starts with the first time. If you ask people why they drink alcohol or take drugs, they will give you a multitude of reasons, such as: to celebrate; to have fun; to forget problems; to calm down; to experiment; to make an impression on others (it is cool to drink); to socialize.

Pornography
It is nothing except dehumanizing women and children. The consequences of pornography are that it
•    dehumanizes woman
•    oppress children
•    breaks marriages
•    promotes sexual violence
•    makes fun of ethical and moral ideals
•    obliterates individuals, households and societies

According to National Victim Center, a woman is raped in the United States every 56 seconds. 83% of rapists confess to regular use of pornography. It is also sad to see how low some people will stoop to make a buck by making pornography their business.

Profanity
Using profanities show a lack of vocabulary, willpower, and self-control.

Rock Music
The lyrics of some hit songs are obscene. The music we hear and the shows we watch can subconsciously influence us.

Academic instruction isn’t the only responsibility teachers have in today’s classrooms. More and more, teachers are being called on to teach students about values … things like making good decisions, the showing of respect, taking responsibility, choosing friends, and having a positive attitude.  It’s a responsibility that could be overwhelming, considering the limited hours available in a school day, the number of kids in the classroom, and the diversity of backgrounds and personalities each child represents.

Character Education by Just Do The Right Thing” is a practical and powerful tool that equips educators to tackle values training with confidence.

How To Block Porn From Your Computer

People don’t just watch porn, thousands of people from around the world have become addicted to it. It’s not just one group, both men and women have let it take over their lives. This is something that has the potential to ruin relationships and make the affected person completely unsociable. The thing that boggles the mind the most is just how easy it is to come by pornography on the Internet. Irregardless of what you are really looking for, as you gaze through the information you just received there seems to always be one ‘dirty’ site listed. This is NOT something that has to happen. This addiction can be stopped. Another thing that you CAN do is prevent your children from being exposed to such content even by accident. To find out how, you need to keep reading this.

One of the easiest things you can do is to make sure your computer is always in a place where others can view what is on the screen. This works in a family situation or even if you have others that live with you. If people are watching, computer users are less likely to venture to such sites.

The most important thing you can do with children, however, is to simply talk to them. Give them guidelines for the use of the computer, maybe during a specific time of day or for a specific length of time each session. Knowing that they only have a given amount of time to be at the computer puts a large damper on the idea of searching for random items.

As a parent, you can also purchase parental blocking software such as a porn filter, which will not even allow sites with specific content to show up. The software that is out there now is actually able to block almost all explicit sites. Something as simple as this will give you peace of mind, knowing that your kids are protected from something potentially harmful.


Protect your Family From Unwanted Internet Content With an Internet Filter

Never has it been more critical than right now to protect children from the online perils of pornography. According to USA Today there are over 1000 new pornographic websites each day. Over 30% of all the websites online have some form of inappropriate content. It has been estimated that approximately 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 7 boys will be sexually molested before the age of 18. The relationship of pornography to child sexual abuse is compelling. 77% of those who molested boys and 87% of those who molested girls said they were regular users of hard-core pornography.

For most families, being on the Internet is as commonplace as being on the telephone. While most parents feel that it is not necessary to monitor their children online, this is a very big mistake. Some, but not all, of the problems for families associated with online pornography are as follows:

· Children innocently typing in incorrect URL’s and accessing porn sites by mistake possibly causing trauma to the child.

· Cookies being placed in browsers by porn sites thereby allowing them to track your children and send them pornographic emails.

· Curious children seeking porn sites (and they will) potentially opening themselves up to developing an addiction to online pornography.

· Porn seeking children using their parent’s credit cards to accumulate, in many known cases, hundreds of dollars of charges for viewing online pornography.

· Marriages and families are being destroyed due to husbands and wives becoming addicted to online pornography.

Online pornographers are targeting your children. Over half of the children using the Internet receive an invitation from pornographers to visit a pornographic web site right on the computer in your home.

Face it; the Internet can be a particularly dangerous place for children if they should surf it unmonitored. Who has the time to monitor your kids 24 hours a day? If you are looking to create a safe web environment for your children, you may want to consider investing some money in an Internet filter. An Internet filter is basically a simple to install software application designed to prevent access to websites that you do not want your children to visit.

A few years ago there were a lot of dial up Internet service providers that offered filtered Internet access. Many of these companies are still around. With the prices and availability of broadband Internet, most of us have moved away from dialup. The problems of unfiltered Internet access remain the same, but the availabilities of Internet filtering are worse.

There are a handful of good stand-alone Internet content filters that are available for high speed Internet access. Most of these filters are customizable to your families needs and are very affordable. As you have moved into the high speed Internet world, have for forgotten to protect your kids?

#1 Start a Recovery Journal

Just like a weight lifting program, addiction recovery takes real effort. If we take this for granted we are likely to slip up while we are caught off guard.

Join on online community or support group for those working on recovery from porn addiction. The beauty of the internet is we now have support groups from all across the world if we choose to access them.

#4 Replace some of the Addiction with a Talent.

Those with the worst addiction to porn are often those who are alone frequently near the computer. It makes matters worse if they have a lot of free time. Take up going to the gym, getting in phenomenal shape, learning to rock climbing or mastery of Golf. Something you’ve always wanted to do! There are endless activities that will suck the “alone time” right out of your life as you become talented.
