Christianity Onlinea service of Christianity Today International  

The Christianity Online High Speed Dial-up Service uses the NetSweeper Plus engine to offer Internet filtering to our customers. This new technology has the ability to filter web pages in real-time. This means that pages that are not located in our local database are reviewed within seconds by NetSweeper's AI engine and are blocked almost immediately. There is no longer a need to submit pages for review and wait while inappropriate content gets through, since the AI engine analyses web pages in real time.

Per user Customization

Customers can now choose what content they would like to configure for their children through a web-based control panel. Options available included time of day filtering, customizable category selection, and the ability for parents to disable filtering via username and password.

Dynamically generated URL lists
