      @hotshottech It looks pretty cool, but it's $8/month!

        It is worth it....I have used it for three year now and it gives you a peace of mind knowing the interest is properly filtered.

          @hotshottech How much harder, really, is SquidGuard? And I'm already using the OpenDNS servers.

            Which of their servers? They have the family shield set, and the regular everyday set.

                They use OpenDNS for their Blacklist Rules but I like the way they handle Whitelist Rules.

                  Ok, since it's the family shield servers, you can set the kids VLAN to use a DHCP server, and then use the Family Shield DNS servers as the main DNS for that subnet/network. That will lock it up pretty good. That's how I set it at my house, with the kid network.
