However, for some people in OS X 10.8.2, Parental Controls is invoking a restriction regardless of the settings and rejecting these sites, even when Web filtering is disabled. Since secured Web sites that use the HTTP protocol cannot be properly examined for approval by this service, when site filtering is enabled they are blocked by default and must be explicitly allowed in the Parental Controls' Always Allow list.
Parental Controls allows an administrator to set time limits and content filters for a specific user account, including restrictions on Web access. After updating to OS X 10.8.2, a number of people who use Apple's Parental Controls feature have reported that it is rejecting all Web sites that use the secure HTTPS protocol, which can include financial and educational sites, but also some popular commercial sites like Google.
