http://linuxexchange.org/questions/217/content-filtering-on-ubuntu-1004<pre><code>I have a laptop that I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on. My wife and I would like to setup some kind of content filtering software on it so that we can keep track of, and limit the kinds of websites our children can visit, etc. Currently I also have a Windows 7 pc running a program called Safe Eyes, which I have found to be wonderful software. Unfortunately, Safe Eyes is not available for Ubuntu. We both really like Ubuntu, but from what I have been able to discover, there isn't any real content filtering software out there for it. Does anyone know of something that will solve this problem. I am fairly new to Linux, but I have a knack for computers, so even if the software is a little bit difficult to configure, I'm game especially if it has decent documentation. </code></pre> <p>Thanks!</p>enThu, 06 May 2010 21:45:19 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/217/content-filtering-on-ubuntu-1004/350<p>You might take a look at <a href="http://www.opendns.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.opendns.com/</a></p> <p>They have free DNS service (as well as paid upgrade services).

You'll find this is the case with a lot of software for internet purposes: it's not installed separately, it's a plugin. This applies especially for proxies.</p>William ShipelyTue, 04 May 2010 03:00:31 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/217/content-filtering-on-ubuntu-1004/233http://linuxexchange.org/questions/217/content-filtering-on-ubuntu-1004/232<p>I believe what you are looking for is in this thread.</p> <p><a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843510" rel="nofollow">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843510</a></p>JubTue, 04 May 2010 02:59:17 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/217/content-filtering-on-ubuntu-1004/232
