“Pihole for DNS” I did this for a while, but updating the block list was annoying. Random sites and stuff were blocked for my wife. She cannot open email links and things like that. I just got rid of it. I haven’t used pihole for several years now.
My kids are at an age where I need some control’s and Piehole seemed like the best place, but I am open to suggestions. Ideally I would like to split my house into a kids network, and everything else, so that I can filter and log everything on the kids network.
You can capture some of the DNS traffic and force it through Pihole, but some apps will try to skirt it by using a different protocol for DNS than just port 53. But capturing all that traffic and forcing it to run through Pihole will help with a bunch of stuff. Are you going to keep logging on and see what kind of sites they visit too then?
I want logging on eventually. At some point I would like to let my kiddos have the freedom to make mistakes but im not convinced that my youngest will be able to make safe choices until he is MUCH older like 20+
