A bit off topic, but this group seems to know a lot about this sort of subject.
I've caught the 11 year old at home browsing sites he really shouldn't be. I'd like to implement some sort of filter so that he can only access "approved" sites, but myself and my o/h can browse whatever we want. What is the best way to implement this? A firewall? Some sort of web proxy? Something else? I've got a few Gentoo computers, one that tri-boots between Windows XP (for work), Windows 7 (for games) and Gentoo (for everything else), and one Windows laptop (my o/h won't give it up) connecting to one wireless AP/router. I'm thinking maybe a single firewall would be the way to go, but I suppose it'd have to something that we could "log" into to let it know who's who; I've never heard of a firewall that does that. Otherwise, maybe a software firewall on each PC, but it'd be a bit cumbersome across all the PCs, unless it had some sort of central management server. A web search seems to show a Squid proxy may be the way to go, as well. but I'm not familiar enough with that to know if it'll really do what I want. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Jake Moe
