How The Covenant Eyes Program Works
You are here: Home Page / about / how
The Covenant Eyes Program is not a filter, but provides effective monitoring of websites your computer visits. YOU choose who views your reports. Some examples of uses are:
- Parents monitor where their children go on the Internet to train them in responsible use. For more info, read "Message for Parents."
- Men/women remain accountable to their spouses or an accountability group to demonstrate an earnest desire to maintain a pure relationship.
- People with a pornography problem use the program for accountability.
- Churches use the Covenant Eyes Program to maintain accountable use of their computers.
- Businesses use the Program to reduce productivity losses (which average over $100 per computer)
- Colleges use the program to maintain accountability in dormitories.
Once you install the Covenant Eyes Program, all of the Internet activity on that computer will be monitored by our servers and periodically passed on to the Accountability Partners you choose in the Signup Procedure. The list is scored specifically for pornography. Internet access is never blocked unless your computer is not correctly Logged In to the Covenant Eyes system.
Covenant Eyes monitors all web surfing and newsgroup activity, and detects and reports filesharing and FTP usage.
Covenant Eyes works regardless of your Internet connection and does not depend on what ISP you use. For instance, you can use a laptop on DSL at work, take the laptop home to your dial-up connection, it works seamlessly (when moving to an office environment, you should also check out the section on "Issues and incompatibilities."
Once installed, all users of your computer will need to be Logged In. This can either be done automatically or manually. To help decide how many usernames you want to use, please .
Once you have a username, you can Log In on any computer that has Covenant Eyes installed. The monitoring is based on the username Logged In, not on the computer being used. That way, it can be used in a shared-computer environment such as an office or a church.
Basic cost of the program for one username is $6.99/month. Additional usernames are also available at nominal cost.
There is no cost to the Accountability Partners chosen, and there is no cost for adding the program to additional computers you use.
