Anything relating to pornography, including mild depiction, soft

Block tasteless sites
Sites that contain information on such subjects as mutilation,
torture, horror, or the grotesque.
Block adult-themed sites
Sites that are adult in nature and are not defined in other rating

allow the user to send anonymous emails.
But it also allow you to whitelist sites, block specific domains and
it tries to filter phishing sites as well. It also offers custom

A few people have mentioned opendns.com as a solution.
What would be the advantages and disadvantages of going with opendns?
It looks like they have "adult content blocking" who makes the
decision as to what is "adult" content? Is the adult content
filtering mandatory? Don't get me wrong I'm not advocating surfing
for porn from my network, but I've admined networks that used filters
like netnanny in the past and have been less than pleased at how
accurate what they term "adult" actually is.
Thanks in advance!
