Bob Cox spotted a Newsforge Piece on how to set up parental Web filters for children using Linux.
The only software you need to set up parental filters under GNU/Linux is iptables, DansGuardian, and Squid.
DansGuardian is the actual filtering software. It supports phrase matching, which allow you to block out Web sites that contain certain phrases or words; PICS filtering, which blocks content that’s been labeled as possibly objectionable material by the creator of the Web site; URL filtering, to block content from specific sites that are known to contain offensive material; and blacklists, or lists of sites that contain content you want to block. Blacklists usually come from third parties, though you can create and maintain your own.
