Protecting your family

I forgot to mention OpenDNS (which you explicitly asked about).  I do use it
and think it is a good and fairly granular web filter solution.  I find it
works fairly well. It is also fast and since it does not rely on an agent
installed on your machine it does not bog it down either.  And you cannot
beat the price.  Of course it is not full proof (can be bypassed by proxies
which it does not know about and of course can only block known bad sites).
This is also another good reason to have the users in your household run
under a standard account so that they cannot simply change the DNS settings.

I have a baby girl on the way and it suddenly hit me, what am I going to do
to protect my family (myself included) from online attacks? There are
content filters like squid proxy as well as things that do more like
"Untangle" or I can filter through OpenDNS. Any options or suggestions?
