Internet control

Hey Everybody,

Just found an awesome new tool (new to me) to help protect where on the internet people in my house can go.  OpenDNS.com

It is free and works like an external internet filter.  You can set what it does and doesn't block by category or by website. It also can keep track of what websites are visited when.  If you have kids in the house I highly recommend getting this set up.  Because this way it doesn't matter what computer they use and it isn't software that you can shut off.

The site has router specific tutorials to get it all set up, so you don't have to be a techy to get it going.


I am hoping it doesn't have negative consequences on my xbl play, but initial speed tests show no difference.

Best of all it is free.

That is true, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to have some control and record of what comes into my home.
