Wefisy

Even though modern browsers make it easy to restrict access to certain websites and domains, the truth is that they still lack the features a standard piece of software would have.

Wefisy is a utility that allows you to keep track of your children's activity online and make sure that they do not enter websites that could contain malware or spend too much time on the social networks.

After a quick and smooth setup, you can access the app from the System Tray. On a side note, you should know that there is also a small chance that you cannot access your desktop shortcuts for approximately one minute after you open the application for the first time. On a side note, you are asked to enter your password upon launching the app and proceeding to doing the necessary configuration.

The utility comes with an old-fashioned, yet intuitive and easy to navigate UI that enables you to block access to domains and websites with a click of a button. The red and green indicators are a nice touch, especially since they help you tell right way whether certain features is active or deactivated.

While it is not a looker, the application compensated in terms of features and how many aspects of the online activity you can control. To put it simple, you can block access to anything that entails online gaming, gambling, forums, malware and websites with adult content. Not only that, but you can also specify the hours when specific sites, games, social networks or chat can be accessed.

It is necessary to mention that the tool allows you to create white and black lists, an option that can help you filter dangerous website from the ones with useful contents, but that might contain keywords or keyphrases that are misinterpreted.

In spite of the unappealing interface, Wefisy is a comprehensive app that can help you monitor your child's online activity thoroughly.
