Internet Filtering

How Livia Works

Home Web filtering protection has never been this easy and effective. With Livia Web Protection, parents have the option to select from pre-defined Web filtering policies that are based on different levels of protection relative to the age of their children and overall browsing habits.

Once filtering levels are set, browsing to specific Web pages is either allowed or blocked, based on the category of a Web site. For example, if pornography is blocked and a child accidentally browses to an adult Web site, access to that Web site will be automatically denied and a block Web page will appear on the screen. Should parents prefer to block or allow more access, making changes to filtering policies is quick and easy.

Because Livia is powered by Websense® technology, Livia users are utilizing the same proven enterprise class Web filtering for their homes, with access to the Websense® database of sites, which contains more than 35 million Web sites. This database of Web site addresses is updated on a continual basis, providing real-time protection from the thousands of unwanted and dangerous Web sites that pop up daily.

Livia provides a true ‘set it and forget it' experience for parents. Once the product is installed and set up, inappropriate sites are automatically blocked. Filtering levels can be changed with the click of a button. And, parents can then focus on helping children carefully manage the use of other sites that may be allowed in the home, such as social networking, chat rooms and more.

How to install:

Quick and easy! Once Livia Web Protection software (only 2 MB) is downloaded, the installation wizard goes step-by-step through policy settings and user accounts on your computer. Because there is no complex installation associated with Livia, the software automatically configures your computer and Web filtering is active. And, since Livia is a managed solution, parents don’t have to worry about performance issues caused by a large application or a cumbersome Web site database download.
