This may not cover the x-box, iPod, etc., but Blue Coat offers a free
version of their web filtering software which can be dowloaded at

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?
