Kurupira Web Filter

Kurupira Web Filter is a compact Windows application designed to help you block other users’ access to different websites and utilities. The tool gives you a hand when it comes to applying several filters and controlling the time spend on the Internet.

Although it comes bundled with many dedicated parameters, it sports an intuitive layout which allows you to perform most operations with minimum effort.

Kurupira Web Filter gives you the possibility to create lists with blocked or allowed websites and applications, upload the information from a plain text file, automatically block inappropriate websites and programs, or grant access only to those websites and tools registered as allowed.

What’s more, the program is able to automatically take screenshots at a given time and grab the window containing a user-defined word or expression, and lets you view the taken images in a dedicated pane.

You can also check the “Report” window for diagrams and comprehensive information about the entire process, such as the most accessed websites and tools, and statistics per day or user. Plus, you can export data to JPEG or PDF, and filter the results by date.

Other notable characteristics bundled in this tool give you the possibility to restrict other users’ access to different instant messaging tools (e.g. AIM, Windows Live Messenger), as well as online platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, and others.

Last but not least, you can view a history with all the accessed websites and applications, and details about them, such as date, time, and user.

When it comes to configuration settings, you are allowed to encrypt the information by setting up passwords, and make the app automatically send email notifications to a certain address whenever the tool blocks utilities and websites, takes a screenshot, or the program is disabled.

As a conclusion, Kurupira Web Filter offers a handy set of parameters and blocking filters, and is suitable for beginners and professionals alike, thanks to its intuitive layout.
