You're still providing an internet connection to children. Check out OpenDNS, as was suggested, also there are a few school district guys here on the list. What are they doing for their internet connections?

Are you acting as a caretaker for these children in some sort of after school program? While you may not be a school or library, are you reliant upon federal funding for your operations? Some of those agencies promulgate rules that are similar in scope to CIPA.

I think you realize that this is not without significant risk, and therefore some amount of cost is necessary to mitigate that risk. I'd be subscribing to a service that manages this, and keeps abreast of the ever growing list of objectionable sites...

You are providing internet access to children so your concern is to be CIPA compliant. The Child Internet Protection Act. OpenDNS will take care of that, and it works well. You just need to be sure you sign up/set up their CIPA filter. http://www.opendns.com/features/cipa KNOWINGLY providing a non-CIPA filtered connection to a child is a felony. There is a teacher in jail in Atlanta right now for that. There are mistakes in filters, they will get around it. The key is if you know it is happening you have to react. It is knowing and failing to react that will get you burned.

These will be open access computers, probably 8 - 10, for kids to get on for school work or whatever. My concern is someone doing or viewing something illegal or totally inappropriate, it's a CYA measure for the nonprofit I work for. Any thoughts on specific applications (I was looking at Squid and Foxy) or a different approach are most welcome.
