I have installed OpenDNS but realistically, i have only done so to protect our 8 year old daughter, since she has the old laptop now we have bought the new one, to play on the internet and use e-mails between a few of her friends and her biological dad. I dont really want OpenDNS to restrict the use of my internet access or that of my wifes. For example, we use social networking sites but we dont want our daughter to given that she is only 8 years old.

Any help would be appreciated even if it means we have to use another means of internet security/content filtering.

cheers

This should better read: create an outbound firewall rule on your router to redirect her DNS lookups to OpenDNS.
Criteria:
- source: her laptops' private IP address (or MAC address)
- UDP & TCP with destination port 53
You may also need to deal with the DNS responses then.
Rather an exercise for Cisco class routers...

So your best bet may be to configure the OpenDNS server addresses just on her computer(s).

I have the insane feeling this is complete nonsense. What would the private (LAN) IP address of her laptop have to do with what settings and possibilities of bypassing them??? :confused:]]>
