What's the point?
There's nothing you can block your kids from seeing that they can't see
somewhere else. Guaranteed that they have at least one friend, most
likely many, whose computer isn't blocked. Set your default search
engines to filter "offensive" sites.
The kids will see anything they want. Talk to them. Don't block them.
They'll be fine.
What are you afraid of?
>How smart are the kids? Putting the address in the hosts file like
>127.0.0.1 www.lots-o-porn.com would deny access to the web site, but
>not if the kid new the actual ip address
Kids typically set up proxy servers to get around blocks.
It is probably more effective to explain to the kids that both your
firewall router and the ISP keeps a log of all the sites they visit and
that you can easily check what they have been doing on the Internet.
