Thanks for the advice, I've noticed dansguardian and looked into it a little bit, I've also blocked some words which works but doesn't work because it kills some legitimate pages. I've also tossed around the idea with my Fianc=E9 about locking them = down to certain websites, but that is problematic with doing some school work (kids are 9 and 11) I think what bothers me most is them stumbling across something. Say they are curious what the word milf means and they search for it... that would be an eye opener! So right now I have a list of words that are blocked from URLS and a large number of sites blacklisted gathered from other peoples lists scavenged from google. Thanks for the replies, Tony PS squid is a very cool thing, and I can use MRTG to gather data and display it, but it does seem to have some performance hit with surfing, I moved it from my dually Pentium Pro 200 to my Dual p3 1Ghz and that made a difference, now I just need some speedy Sata disks and a good Sata controller. -----Original Message----- From: Ted Mittelstaedt [mailto:tedm@toybox.placo.com]=20 Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 12:40 AM To: Murray Taylor; Tony; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Squid with a Net nanny type setup.... Or much better yet, do it the way I do it. Load Squid, setup the kids system to use it, then setup squid to only allow the kids to go to a list of sites. As my kids learn about interesting sites they want to go to, -I- visit those sites, and if I decide they are OK, I put them in the approved list. Stuff like dansguardian is, in my opinion, for lazy parents who want to hand off their parental responsibilities to other people. The other thing is that by the time the kid is 14-15 they should be mature enough to make their own choices and deal with what they find. At that time, if your still having to run filtering software, you better turn off Internet access completely and schedule your kid in with some sessions with a psychologist, as seriously, he's got a problem.
