For a few months now I've been trying to find a good solution for web monitoring and filtering. I didn't want to pay for it so that knocked off a lot of solutions right of the bat. Being a do-it-yourself kinda guy, I experimented with a couple DIY solutions, but they either went very good or were easy to bypass. (They were also complicated and hard to set up)
It finally occurred to me that I should ask my network admin friend. He told me that the company he uses for his corporate solution, Blue Coat, has a free internet filter called K9. I've tried it out and I'm very impressed. It looks like it works not only well, but easily and seamlessly. As long as you don't chose a goofy, easy to guess password, you will be able to keep your kids away from all the crap on the internet. If you have kids at home check it out.
