Re: Question regarding home filter using FIOS

["Hembrow, Chris" <chris.hembrow () interserve com>]

I have 2 networks, one with direct internet access for servers and certain devices which don't support a proxy.   The 
second network can only go out through a restricted squid proxy.  I now use a blacklist on the proxy, but I used to use 
a whitelist.  If my daughter figures a workaround, I'm either going to ridicule her (then block the workaround), or 
feel proud; it depends on the elegance of the workaround.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] Question regarding home filter using FIOS


Ever since I went to SANSFIRE in DC and saw the protecting the family afterhours presentation, I've been looking into 
putting in a firewall/web proxy/filter into our home network to monitor and possibly block stuff regarding my kids 
internet activities.  We have some 14 or so devices, half of which are wired and the other half wireless which get to 
the internet through our Verizon FIOS.  All the devices terminate into the FIOS router/switch, including the TV.  Then 
it all goes out the ethernet connection.

Normally, I would put my box between the FIOS router WAN port and the external connection.  This way it could monitor 
both the wired and wireless traffic.  However, I am nervous that this setup would interfere with the FIOS TV.  Does 
anyone else have a similar setup and installed a monitoring device (i.e. Smoothwall, Astaro, Untangle, etc) and if so, 
have they seen an impact on TV reception?

Is there an alternate configuration that may perform better?

Thanks.
