Rudolf: Of course, if your kids are savvy, they can go do some whois lookups on the web, find the IP numbers of the blocked sites, and enter it in a browser to bypass your blocking attempt. There are few things more determined than bright children told they can't do something.

An embedded box that has functionality similar to D-link, Netsys, etc... I can implement this myself. I can hunt for accesses to ports 53 (DNS) and 80 (HTTP) and write some filtering code, but I do not really want to re-invent the wheel.

They will do the things like block a site with xxx or porn or any particular phrase of characters in the URL. I know the ones I install professionally from Multitech Systems do, and I think a lot of Netgear, Linksys, D-link, etc retail models do as well.

All I want to do is to be able to enter word list manually and then use simple string matching. More of "parenting control" rather that enforcing company-wide policy.

These are best down with a subscription service. I know some of the router manufacturers offer them. There are thousands of new domains registered every week, and someone has to research and classify them (sports, porn, gambling, entertainment, file swapping, etc.). You really want to block entire classes of site, not just looking for something in the web name.

Even a simple URL filtering would do. Unfortunately, I can not use "squid". The only software I have found is called "dansguardian" and it is using squid. Is there anything else?
