Simplest method (what we do) is to set up OpenDNS Home (http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions/parental-controls/ http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions/parental-controls/) as your home router's DNS server, which should then propagate to all your machines.
It only blocks the most egregious stuff and doesn't do anything about monitoring/blocking chat, etc., but at least you have some basic peace of mind.
(Of course, a determined budding hacker could easily get around it if they can change a local machine's DNS settings.)
- acron0 13y agoThis sounds like an awesome idea. I checked the settings on my stock router, from my ISP, and it doesn't permit you to change DNS! Totally gutted. Time to get a new router, I think. Good advice though, thank you.
