Additional suggested steps

WiFree - Block Unfiltered internet access

In order to ensure that the computer does not connect to another Internet provider without filtering, you can use the WiFree Software, which blocks the possibility of connecting to non-filtered networks or servers. This is especially needed for laptops that can connect to non-filtered wireless networks, and for desktop computers that are using a VPN. It is also a good thing to have as a second guard, in case something goes wrong with the NetFree connection.

If you have joined a Kehilla Supervision you may be required to install the software and you will not be able to browse without it (depending on the Kehilla settings).

Personal filter settings

At this point it is suggested to set up your filter settings. There are 2 types of filtering settings, you can choose from them according to your needs or according to your Kehilla regulations.

1. Personal Filter Settings. You can define which content you are interested in and which not. You can set everything closed except for what you want to open, or vice versa. You can also set a separate password for these settings.
2. Kehilla Supervision, who will watch over your account. Once you've chosen a Kehilla, you may not leave it without Kehilla permission. There is also a Gmail only Kehilla. Leaving this Kehilla comes with a 30 NIS mandatory donation to NetFree.
