child safety

[bilboSNB]

I use dyn internet guidewhichworks pretty well at filtering most of the time. The problem is that my kid has an ipod and to my shock horror he had searched for nacid wuman which had brought up some shocking pictures bloody google ssl. I have disabled internet on it fully for now on the ipod. Is it possible to control this on the router rather than per device enforcing safesearch or implementing something like pfsense?

You can do keyword filtering, url filtering, blacklisting, control when devices can use the internet. Possibilities almost endless.

You could also enable the YandexDNS option under Parental Control, or set your router to use either Symantec's Connect Safe or OpenDNS instead of your ISP's DNS servers. This might come at a performance penalty when doing Youtube streaming however.

None of that seems to block https google image from showing indecent pictures in the results, eg opendns. Thats the issue, if you click on the image yes the site the picture originates from is blocked but the image has already been seen.

True. However doesn't Google have a Safe Search option that is (AFAIK) enabled by default?

Re-read Bilbo's answer. DNS-based filtering won't help in his case, where it's Google displaying those search results.

If I could force them to use googles no ssl servers and rewrite the google urls somehow that could work.

I think you could lock down google. Make a parent account, log in and lock it. But hope he doesn't clear cookies.
