Re: content filtering at home

["Bracey, John" <JBracey () CSUCHICO EDU>]

I've had great success with Untangle myself (links below).  You can also get some protection through OpenDNS 
(http://www.opendns.com/solutions/overview/)  or if you need to only do a couple of machines, K9 works great as well 
(http://www1.k9webprotection.com/)

I'm putting together a mini-itx based network box to run either Untangle or Astaro.
http://www.untangle.com/build-your-own-untangle-server
http://www.astaro.com/landingpages/en-worldwide-homeuse

These are both free for home use. They aren't as easy as setting up a filtering DNS, but are a lot more comprehensive 
and provide reporting, as well.

Does anyone have any advice regarding doing content filtering at home?  I have a 2-wire home router, and all the ISP 
offers is their parental controls that run individually on each computer.  The problem is that we have other devices 
for which this won't work (i-pod, xbox, wii).  One suggestion is OpenDNS, but it's not clear to me how that would work 
for these other devices.  Does anyone have suggestions?
