What to Check Before Buying a Website Blocker
Browser-only extensions may be enough for personal focus, but shared, school, office, reception, kiosk, or family PCs often need controls that ordinary users cannot casually remove from one browser.
Where GiliSoft WebLock Fits
Focused workstations
Keep work-related sites available while blocking distracting categories or named domains.
Shared and public PCs
Reduce access to unsafe or irrelevant websites on reception, classroom, library, or kiosk computers.
Allowed-site environments
Use a narrow list when the PC should access only approved services or internal resources.
Password-protected policy
Prevent ordinary users from changing the rules without administrator authorization.
