    Blocking Websites & Content
    I need a recommendation for some software used for blocking access to certain websites, as a sort of parental control. I need something where I can give it a list of keywords or key-phrases, and if any of the words or phrases appear anywhere on the web page to be loaded, it will block it and prevent it from being displayed. I also need the software to be transparent to the user. That is, the user of the computer would be unaware that such filtering software is installed, and would be unable to defeat or uninstall it without a password.

    I have a Linksys WRT54G router.

    If such software existed, the authors would have made a fortune and it would be known worldwide.

    We use "See no evil" but it isn't stealth. We have a rule that if the history or control panel is messed with the computer goes away.

    My son thought he was smart. After 3 months with the computer in lockup he learned his lesson.
