FAQ

I I just wanted to confirm everything as I’m not the most technology advanced but my husband is. He is worried that since the Kibosh uses a DNS type filtering system it will be easy to bypass.

Uncategorized

By simply plugging a Kibosh in as your primary router hardcore objectionable content on the Internet will be inaccessible from any device, and you don’t need to configure anything to make this happen. Now that the really bad stuff is blocked, we can focus on the more subjective content like bikinis, drugs, social networks, etc. These you can either block individually by entering the website(s) into your blacklist, or en masse by selecting categories of content to block.

News & Information

Hello Everyone, We are moving from BUCTools.com to Kibosh.net. Nothing has changed with the web filtering service (outside of Google making changes on their end) and nothing is wrong with the company. We simply had some issues with our hosting provider, and frankly never really liked BUC Tools that much, although I know some of you did. I think the main issue with us (the founders) was that BUC Tools wasn’t our idea, and we looked at it as more…
