LOL.....that is funny.
Whenever I see posts like you said "my friend has this problem" I always assume the person talking is talking about themselves.

Obligatory: "Was he actually addicted to porn or did he view it occasionally?"

He said he was addicted. We took a trip to Mexico over Christmas with builders
Cosmo Kramer

Good for him to coming to see you, usually it is not actually an addiction

In the church we refer to any porn usage as a porn addiction
chago04

The Church needs to kick its addiction addiction
DapperDan
6/27/13 1:54pm
Yup, it's so easy for people to not own their habits and label them as addiction
chago04
6/27/13 1:55pm
Practically, what is the difference?
StealingHome
6/27/13 1:58pm
Practically, a true addiction is easier to see the harmful effects

I felt prompted to ask him. He's 17 and a half. He said he was addicted from 15.
Cosmo Kramer
6/27/13 2:00pm
If he was able to kick it on his own in a week, it was not an addiction.
chago04
6/27/13 2:03pm
It wasn't just in a week, it took him about 3 months.

It's in a public place, but we didn't kick him off when we went to bed. Stupid.

Don't kick yourself, almost better he gets it now than somewhere else you can't

I'm upgrading his machine from XP to Win 8 now. I'll look into what Win 8 has.
Cosmo Kramer

What are you using now for an internet filter?
yorksama

OpenDNS and Symanted Online Family.
Cosmo Kramer
6/27/13 1:51pm
Add K9 to the setup.
supertux
6/27/13 1:53pm
K9 is much better than OpenDNS in my experience.
yorksama
6/27/13 2:01pm
K9 is awesome.
Bobby Dooley

This ^^^ on ALL devices. Open DNS on the router so no friends can bring in..
CougarFella
6/27/13 3:46pm
BTW- it doesn't matter what filter you are using because all can be bypassed

This is correct.

Which is why it really has to come from within. Technically, he's months away

Why would you not want him to know
StealingHome
6/27/13 1:46pm
Guess I would say it differently, well hidden that he can't access it, delete it
TheSmiths
6/27/13 1:48pm
Makes sense. The only point I see for having a filter
StealingHome

Just lie and say it's on there. You don't actually have to do anything.

Use K9. It has its own history that can't be deleted by anyone but admin

I put that on one of the computers, but it won't install on the one he uses
Cosmo Kramer

It should work on XP just fine.

It should, but that machine is about 6 or 7 years old and has so much crap

You could use VNC to log in and look at the screen at any time
cheezedawg

You would have to find a way to configure it to remain incognito. By default
