So my 12 year old son is starting to get a little too comfortable with his new freedom of a school computer and a desk in his room. I do not believe he is doing anything he shouldnt be doing but being in the IT field, I am just cautious when he disapears into his room. Plus my wife and I want to make sure he is actually studying when he says he is. I am curious to see if anyone has any suggestions to see if there is a product we can put on our home network to see where he is going. Its a school computer so I don’t have any way to install anything on it. We have an ASUS router powering the network.
I think OpenDNS has some paid, custom DNS services you can sign up for. Basically you would set your home DNS to the IP they provide you and you can look at usage and set blacklists yourself. So whatever connects to your home network would go through that DNS if that is what you have set as default DNS.
