I have an ADSL line at my parents house that I am responsible for. It's used by my parents and other family members when they're round there. The users are not particularly computer or net savvy. I need to ensure that Internet access is regulated and that inappropriate sites or downloads are blocked.
What I want to avoid is installing software like Net Nanny on the PCs themselves there as that may not go down too well from a trust issue. Thus, I would like to block inadvertent access to inappropriate sites or downloads at the network level.
I've read that OpenDNS can offer some of this functionality. Has anyone used OpenDNS with a view to providing a safe surfing environment? If so, has it worked well or would I still need some parental control software on the PCs themselves?
