Surfing without a filter is like this person...

1) www.thejnet.com  - Server Based Filtering, black list or whitelist.
Jnet is #1 in the U.S market, with the most sophisticated server-based filtering technology in the world!
For added protection, ask them where you can get "Client Based" software as well.

www.thejnet.com developed recently a new, innovative AI system that isn't a URL based filter but rather a "content" based filter. In less than 3 milli-seconds, it breaks down WHATEVER page you are on, regardless of the URL, into its components and checks the text, images and anything else. It can detect skin colored pixels and replace the images! It's a real break through in filtering technology and NO ONE else has it on the market. It delivers the filtered content to you in real time, regardless of URLs. This protects against all types of "loop-holes" in the standard filtering systems today. Call them up and ask for their "Mehadrin" plan to benefit from this new technology.
