I have a whitelisting proxy for my kids at home (squid based). Later I will change it to blacklisting, then just logging before eventually giving them uncontrolled access. I don't have a timetable for it and will change it whenever it feels appropriate.
I also use Wireguard to route my own mobile phone traffic through my home network. When the time comes to give the kids smartphones (which I'm in no hurry to do) I will initially give them managed devices with always-on wireguard to the home network, so traffic goes through the same proxy. The set of available apps will also be restricted.
We talk a lot about the complexities, opportunities and dangers of the internet and the kids are accepting of the restrictions.
The technology exists to manage this. It's the same stuff companies use for byod. It's just that nobody makes it easy for parents to do it.
- barapa 3y agoCan you share any resources on how you set this up exactly?
- bomewish 3y ago+1 here. Would love to see how to set this up.
- BackBlast 3y agoI built a very similar setup for my kids. Mine operates per-system, some are white listed with individual settings, and my oldest are on a blacklist only for problem sites. Thanks for sharing.
