My 14 year old has install Fedora now about 5 times (and win7 once). He was flabergasted when I set up so local-host only blocks that sent faceplant and yourtube to a "STOP FARTING AROUND" web page. I eventually showed him what I had done and he was even more interested.<br>
<br>Next stunt will be a cron job that shuts down the machine at bedtime and won't start until after school or special keycode entered.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 1:14 PM, Mike Harrison <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cluon@geeklabs.com" target="_blank">cluon@geeklabs.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Thanks - I'll take a closer look and see if I can wrap my head around it.<br>
and to the list - I think that dnsmasq will do what I want, since it allows specification of a DNS server for the DHCP clients, and can be configured to not<br>
be the DNS server for the host, leaving it to use the router and ISP servers.<br>

A friend of mine with various ages of children has chosen to incrementally<br>
make internet access harder and harder. The two eldest children have developed some serious network hacking skills as a result. His devious goal was less about restricting access to online materials and activities and more about learning how things worked.<br>
<br>
His most recent step was physically unplugging at around 9-10pm<br>
(time for bed),,. and his 14 year old boy discovered "pringles can" antenna technologies as a result.<br>
<br>
The bad news, and why I know.. is he got enough signal to leach from my house.. where he got sniffed and monitored. I'm not exactly next door, but I am line of sight..<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
