I have had good luck with the free version of Untangle at home.

Subject: [SECURITY] content filtering at home

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?
