As a guardian, we wish to protect our family especially children from malicious websites.

We implemented the following technologies:

  • K9
  • Symantec client protection

But it can be surpassed with ultra surf

We're too much worried on this. Can someone kindly advise on implementing a much secure firewall?

  • Why are you worried? Why aren't those technologies meeting your needs?

  • @schroeder Ultra surf allows to by pass firewalls. We just need to prevent access to malicious websites Commented May 4, 2017 at 19:00
  • So, you want a firewall that your kids cannot bypass? There are lots of ways to bypass firewalls.

  • Typically, parental controls like this are meant to deter the curious, not to control the determined. Large organisations with dedicated security teams struggle to do what you want to do.

    Only completely reliable method would be a whitelist of allowed websites, dropping all others at router level, and ensuring that no proxy sites are in the whitelist...

Have you looked into using a DNS service like OpenDNS? OpenDNS has content filtering as part of their services. I'm sure there are other providers but they are the ones I'm familiar with.

    This requires DNS IP configuration right? The DNS IPs can be changed by anyone. Correct me if wrong Commented May 5, 2017 at 4:57
  • @Student you are correct
