Dansguardian and pogoplug

I have two kids, 9 year old girl and 7 year old boy, and I've always felt somewhat unsafe whenever kids used the internet. Increasingly, my son seems to access more and more online contents, mostly to play online games and read pokemon tips.

The recent Chinese "Green Dam" filtering fiasco reminded me that I should do something about it sooner than later, so I decided to do it tonight. After a quick research, I've installed squid and dansguardian on pogoplug through ipkg, and downloaded the blacklists from URLblacklist.com. After that, I've changed the proxy setting on computers my kids use, to point to dansguardian, and it seems to work well.

My kids don't have great motivation to "defeat" any content filtering yet (they are not even aware of it), and given that it's more of a safeguard from accidents and malicious sites, I'm quite happy with the current setup. In a few years when my son becomes old enough (he's "only" 7), I'll have to set up a transparent proxy if I really want to enforce filtering, but untill then, this will be good enough. I suspect that when he's old enough, he would most likely have the internet access from his cell phone which I won't be able to easily filter. So by that time, "enforcement" won't really be effective or viable anyway (come to think of it, maybe I can try setting dansguardian and squid on android - how's that as an idea for a new android app - parental website filtering software for your young'uns :)
