I have 2 networks, one with direct internet access for servers and certain 
devices which don't support a proxy.   The second network can only go out 
through a restricted squid proxy.  I now use a blacklist on the proxy, but I 
used to use a whitelist.  If my daughter figures a workaround, I'm either going 
to ridicule her (then block the workaround), or feel proud; it depends on the 
elegance of the workaround.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] Question regarding home filter using FIOS


Ever since I went to SANSFIRE in DC and saw the protecting the family 
afterhours presentation, I've been looking into putting in a firewall/web 
proxy/filter into our home network to monitor and possibly block stuff 
regarding my kids internet activities.  We have some 14 or so devices, half of 
which are wired and the other half wireless which get to the internet through 
our Verizon FIOS.  All the devices terminate into the FIOS router/switch, 
including the TV.  Then it all goes out the ethernet connection.

Normally, I would put my box between the FIOS router WAN port and the external 
connection.  This way it could monitor both the wired and wireless traffic.  
However, I am nervous that this setup would interfere with the FIOS TV.  Does 
anyone else have a similar setup and installed a monitoring device (i.e. 
Smoothwall, Astaro, Untangle, etc) and if so, have they seen an impact on TV 
reception?

Is there an alternate configuration that may perform better?

Thanks.

Craig L Bowser
