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.
