Which operating system - Windows/Linux/Mac?– harrymcCommented Mar 25, 2022 at 11:31

1The best way I've found to do this type of web filtering is using Sophos UTM as a router OS (software appliance download), which is free to use for home users. Even if your router is capable of running OpenWrt, it would be difficult to do that type of web filtering. With Sophos UTM, web filtering decrypts all packets, scans them, removes/blocks content, then re-encrypts them with the UTM's master CA before sending them onto the downstream device.– JW0914Commented Mar 25, 2022 at 11:55

1(cont'd...) A router OS [Sophos UTM, pFsense, etc.] requires a motherboard/server board with at least two ethernet ports [WAN, LAN] - I use a miniITX board within an In Win Chopin, running Sophos UTM within an ESXi VM. The downside to web filtering is it will cut the ISP download throughput by ~50%, so it's recommended to only perform web filtering for specific downstream devices. In order to use WiFi with Sophs UTM, the WiFi card must match what Sophos uses in the UTM hardware router.– JW0914Commented Mar 25, 2022 at 12:06

1@Bricktop It's possible it's web filtering is advanced enough to do what you're looking for, however I've never used it - give it a try =] It will likely have no problem blocking adult sites, but adult content on a non-porn site may prove a bit tricky.– JW0914Commented Mar 25, 2022 at 12:21

1@Bricktop I'm unsure if it's possible with Tor simply because of what Tor is - you'll want to refer to the Tor man pages, as Tor is completely different to configure in general.– JW0914Commented Apr 1, 2022 at 9:24

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
