[PLUG] Child Proofing my Home Network

[Greg Helledy <gregsonh@gra-inc.com>]

I was looking into using one of a few different lists, either in 
something like dansguardian or in a namefile, on the gateway.

However, if you're really doing it to block ads, as opposed to 
restricting access by minors, it's easy to use the Adblock Plus plugin 
on end-user devices.
I have mine set to block content from the EasyList:
https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/
and also a list of known malware domains:
http://www.malwaredomains.com/?page_id=2

There are other lists available, to block social media tracking, for 
example.

Using this plus one of the "safe" DNS services is easy and maintains 
itself.  Hopefully it's enough.
