"Net Nanny" or other inappropriate content blocking programs
wraith808:
I use OpenDNS. Set your router to use it instead of your ISP's DNS, password protect the router setup, and you are good to go. You can create a free account and choose what categories to filter, and even do a bit of customizing the block page. You could also just set her computer to use OpenDNS, however it is much easier and more secure at the router level.
If you need help, let me know and I can walk you through it. In the screenshot below, that is me, and my technologically savvy daughter on the OpenDNS block page.

I love OpenDNS... the only think I don't like is that the list is crowd sourced. So until a site is tagged, it's not blocked, and sometimes sites can be blocked that shouldn't necessarily be because of being mis-tagged.

I currently use OpenDNS - just the generic filtering servers that restrict phishing, proxy sites etc.
K9 specifically met this criteria though - I had success with it when I used to use it.
..I would like one that prompts for a password

Once installed, it's really not easy to bypass at all.
