I am looking to modify my home network by adding in some content filtering.
Initially I am looking at something that can implement a blacklist.
I want to be able to keep my wired network at gigabit speeds for transfers and backups to my nas while at the same time applying the filtering to specific devices only.
My perfect device would:
1) Allow content filtering to specific devices, both wired and wireless.
2) Maintain my gigabit wired network, (organically or with an added switch).
3) Ability to batch add the blacklist in some way that I am not typing in every address.
I am not looking into DNS blocking because it seems that google has a simple bypass as a top three result and admin rights are restricted but admin rights are restricted at every office everywhere and the internet has long ago found simple bypasses.
This is a fact finding mission on what I can do at the router.
Question always asked at this point is "Why do you want this".
Answer, "Because I think allowing access to the entire internet to my children and children's guests is not how I want to run my home". This is not a parenting issue per se but if you want to turn this into a parenting conversation please send pictures of your perfect children prior to telling me how I should be able to leave Playboy's around the house and know they will not be opened because I told them not to. Blocking the world is not my intent, being responsible with the resources I am providing is.
