If you've got Family Shield running using the Pi-Hole method enables you to even track what kinds of Google Searches they're doing - and from what IP so you can have "that talk" - basically, if they know that you can see what they're doing then they're more likely to just not do it.īut for $50 or so (for a Raspberry Pi) it offers some decent protection from malware, pr0n etc and with the correct firewall rules is pretty hard to get around. People will always find their way around the blocks so it is best to educate than downright block hoping that (if it is in a parent-kids situation) that the kid will have some respect. Running a proxy is complex for your average user and on todays high speed connections has the potential to actually slow down your browsing.
Long story cut short I have also experimented with pr0n blocking on Google Images however nothing is perfect - Family Shield is almost as good as you're ever going to get here. I was going to write a tutorial on getting something like this running however I didn't want to potentially take any ad revenue from Mauricio. My router also forwards all DNS queries to the Raspberry Pi for those stubborn ones like Chromecasts etc. This has its advantages since my dns4me hosts file runs directly on a dedicated DNS server - and also DNS resolves insanely quickly since it has freed up your router to route internet and firewall only. Basically, I block ads, Microsoft stuff and anything harmful because as an IT person I really want to prevent having to come home to do tech support on any devices on my network. The problem with this setup is it means you can't whitelist sites however if I visit a site that I know is supported by ads I pay them directly (notice the subscription tag on Geekzone?). I personally run Pi-Hole ( ) on my Raspberry Pi 2 and that is my main DNS server - I also have a VM container that mirrors the DNS config as a secondary resolver (really, my network is overkill) and use OpenDNS on the network with dnscrypt.
