Re: [PLUG] Child Proofing my Home Network

It's not only for Arduino's. I have it running, in one example, on a newer Dell R210 II.

Yes. Pfsense runs on Arduinoni I think and isn't an option I have thought about

In addition to Smoothwall, pfSense has a bunch of add on modules that can be plugged in too. pfBlocker is one, forexample. Pfsense has a somewhat steeper learning curve though.

I tend to agree. My personal sensibilities are to be fairly liberal
on this stuff. However, from experience I can say that kids can end
up doing things that are really dumb, and this puts at risk their own
safety, or the security of the family.

Maybe the kid wants to download free movies online because that is
what all the other kids are doing. Then the parent ends up being hit
with pay-up-or-be-sued letters to the tune of thousands of dollars.
The kid in elementary school obviously has no sense of what $10k is.
Maybe the kid runs into this really friendly but persuasive other kid
online who isn't a kid at all. Kids can sometimes be very quick to
trust strangers while assuming the worst of their own parents. I
remember my stepdaughter as a kid describing some guys her age as
creepy and others as nice, and I got the sense that the distinction
was in how nice-looking or charming they were.

All of these are teachable moments of course. The problem is that
there are some kinds of situations that are irreparable. I believe in
letting kids make mistakes so that they can learn from them. If that
means a burnt finger or a broken $10 toy, it is a learning experience.
It becomes a problem when the costs start getting serious or the
injuries becoming life-changing.

Parenting is often a lot harder than it might seem...
