It's time I get more serious about content filtering at home, now that my
kids are able to get online.
I know there is the dansguardian/squid proxy filter, but I don't want to
jump immediately to an approach that requires another computer. I use
LTSP for myself and for the kids, so we're all on the same system
(therefore I can't just use mine as the proxy server).
I've heard of OpenDNS for DNS-level filtering, but I'm not sure if that
will have some loopholes that I hadn't though of...
I should have thought ahead more when I got my router. I put in a Linksys
WRT54GL running dd-wrt just recently. I'm happy with it so far, and it
will facilitate a transparent proxy, but it doesn't implement one. Since
I only use it for basic router and firewall tasks, it would be nice to
have a content filtering proxy built into it.
Anyone here have opinions/advice? Thanks!
