I forgot to mention OpenDNS (which you explicitly asked about). I do use it and think it is a good and fairly granular web filter solution. I find it works fairly well. It is also fast and since it does not rely on an agent installed on your machine it does not bog it down either. And you cannot beat the price. Of course it is not full proof (can be bypassed by proxies which it does not know about and of course can only block known bad sites). This is also another good reason to have the users in your household run under a standard account so that they cannot simply change the DNS settings. _____ From: pauldotcom-bounces at mail.pauldotcom.com [mailto:pauldotcom-bounces at mail.pauldotcom.com] On Behalf Of Jason Guyer Sent: Sunday, February 07, 2010 4:35 PM To: Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com Subject: [Pauldotcom] Protecting your family I have a baby girl on the way and it suddenly hit me, what am I going to do to protect my family (myself included) from online attacks? There are content filters like squid proxy as well as things that do more like "Untangle" or I can filter through OpenDNS. Any options or suggestions? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
