Tomato Firmware
Over this last summer one of my in-laws has been staying nearby and while they where around I wanted his young whipper snappers to be at least semi-safe online. Being that the in-law isn’t the most computer savvy I decided to start playing with access restrictions to keep them off the laptop and off my wireless all day. I know that probably sounds bad but kids should be outside in the summertime, I always was.
My bandwidth is important to me and I can’t see providing someone with streaming radio all day on high priority while I am waiting for other things to finish.
So this has so far been the solution that I have come up with to restrict their online lives and to keep my sanity. So far it blocks just about every social networking site I can find some streaming radio, AIM, YIM, questionable sites, and at one time didn’t allow SSH or port 443 connections (in a failed attempt to prevent logins anyplace). This file is good to go and only posted since there seems to be a lack of blocklists out there.
