Even the free offer is good enough.

Does it use the same technology as their DNS servers to block sites automatically or it takes a different approach?

Having never used or needed this type of software before, I took a screenshot of the settings page:

PS: Search Monitoring might be bypassed (not tested) if using Google's encrypted search.

A system tray icon is intended to make the software's presence known. Also, as a security company, Symantec decided not to introduce something spyware-like. The service integrates with the Transport Driver Interface, allowing it to control Internet access for any Internet-enabled application. Attempts to bypass Safety Minder are logged.

On the other hand, web filter may not work properly if some antivirus software run web protection at the same time, for example Avira Antivirus web protection.

This is something like Online Guardian for Families. Never have need to try the Norton one but the Trend one had to do a test on it.
