Anyone use the Belkin router's parental control feature? Provided by,
I think, 'Cerebian' or somesuch company. It used to work pretty good,
now I cant get the login screen or anything.

I click on the 'subscribe to parental control' on the router
maintenance page and it does nothing.

I search on Belkin support website and there are no links, cant find
the 'Cerebian' or 'Cereberian' or whatever company either.

Is this product now dead? If so, any recommendations for router based
filtering? I dont want to install PC based software, would rather have
it filtered by the router automagically.

btw, Belkin website search sucks, get more hits from Belkin site
starting with google search, than starting with Belkin's own search
menu.

They also haven't removed this page from their web site.

If you have used it before I wouldn't be surprised if your subscription
is due as it was only free for 6 months.

Why don't you *personally* monitor your kids web access, ie: look over their
shoulder once in a while?
If you're such a great parent, why don't you trust your kids (or your wife)
online? Haven't you taught them what's good and what's bad? You don't trust
them?
All this "parental control feature" crap is just that. Crap. If your kids
are in junior high, or high school, they *know* how to get around your
'parental control features". These controls are no substitute for actually
TALKING TO and GETTING TO KNOW your kids and WHAT THEY ARE INTO.

Maybe it doesn't work because your kids (who are undoubtably smarter than
you) have hacked it!
