    Hi,

    I have installed K9 Web Protection on a computer. It seems it functions by putting the protection on to the wireless network. Does this mean, other computers which connect to the said wireless network can be affected as well?

    By using a remote server to perform the filtering, each and every system would also need an install of the product.

    The use a a remote filter server, you are also allowing that vendor to sample and track everything you access - - good by privacy - - your choice.
