Re: [PLUG] Child Proofing my Home Network

Brent,

I will add that to my search list. The only reason I am looking to use the Pi or Arduino is the boss (my Wife) complains constantly about the power a pc takes. I recently installed a Synology to handle backups and she complained that the green lights are always on. When I told her to look at it when the home PC is off and let me know. Tough to explain things to some people. Spinning up a low cost unit is not hard to do and not out of the realm of possibilities. The big issue is to find the one service or site that has done a lot of the work vetting these sites and that would allow me to to customize.

I am all for free will here but the Internet today is not what it used to be when I first got involved (circa 1980). It is a shame that you have to do all of these things because of all the crazies and knuckleheads that are out there.

Thanks for the reply.

While I don't agree with censorship/filtering, I understand your concerns.
I don't know of any specific rPi solutions (I think it's an incredibly
overestimated platform), but http://dansguardian.org/ may be what you're
looking for. You may like http://www.untangle.com/ on a headless server
with two NICs if you find the command line a bit hostile. downside is
you'd need a full x86/x86_64 box to implement it (and i found it a bit
slow in my testing, but c'est la vie). the good news is you can build
out a low-powered machine with basic specs and two NICs for fairly
cheap. and from what i recall, Untangle does include DansGuardian.

1.) don't top-post. it's poor mailing list etiquette.
("because it's unnatural for conversation flow."
"why shouldn't i top-post?")

2.) entirely unhelpful and rude. you may not agree with censoring out
things such as 4chan to an 8-year-old, but that's your politics and
there are other ways to express them if you feel they *absolutely* must
be expressed. see above.
