I've not used it but the FAQ reads favourably. Parents - let us know!!

I suppose it depends on the age. Our kids do not access the Internet unless one of us (parents) is present in the flat. And, they know why they are not allowed to do so.
Maybe worth looking into when they're older - but, won't they be able to hack their way in by then?
I suppose the thread can also have a subtitle: Works equally well on husband or boyfriend!!
another good find - this one you set up in your router or modem if you want and it will just block certain sites - nothing to install locally: www.opendns.com
You need to register for an account to turn on the porn and phishbusters though
My 2p- Bit of porn never did any harm to me as a teen Parents should be just open with their kids. Depends on the age of the kid though.
That explains your need for "rhythmical remedy" then.

really,well maybe to you I didn't do any harm,but to my dissapointment they show for example after 11pm on Tele Bärn quite hardcore porn stuff.
So cue mandatory school skicamp and a few lads having devices that allow them to watch telly,despite curfew and the next day starting to hassle the girls with explicite language...........
Or how would you explain that 2nd graders are harrassing my handicapped nine year old girl,because she has a lovely friendship with a boy from a parallel class and they spend every free minute together,just like that.
These lads write little messages with explicit porn content ( how on earth do they know that in the first place??) on a computer,print it out and distribute it in the school,now I think 2nd graders are way too young to know what damage they do with this and I blame their parents to allow them to get in touch with this material and yes I am on to it as are the class teachers of my daughter.
Kids nowadays are sort of inundated with such stuff and are not mature enough to 'digest' and 'deal' with what they see!
To explain your child about where the babies come from in a realistic and honest way ,still doesn't mean that they have to be exhibited to the phantasy world of adults and thus indeed they need to be protected from it!
Before giving me a lecture did you notice what I said?
"Bit of porn never did any harm to me as a teen "
Huh? So when porn was not easily available kids did not harass other kids?
All I am saying is that just because you censor your kids at home does not mean that they will be protected by an invisible shield when they step out of the house.
I earned two groans for my post? What did I say so wrong? I clearly said I was not talking about little kids but teenagers. If you think that you can shield teenagers from sex in the modern age of information then good luck. Anyway groan away as it seems to make some people feel more in control of their life or something
Yup I did notice what you said and of course kids harrass other kids just like that as well,but in our case it would be nice if my girl wouldn't have to deal on top of the other teasings because of her braces on the legs,thick glasses and motor disability being laughed at and made fun of because of her friendship with that boy.
What I say is that these 2nd graders just think it cool 'to know' about porn etc,but obviously they have no clue.
This is obviously the wrong way to wanto shield ones kids form this and Sex in all it's colours belongs to todays lifestyle ,IMHO it's all a matter of how you talk to your child because in my experience when they know that it's something completely normal and natural to happen, then they don't have the need to make fun of it.
I my opinion it's the not knowing and then turning it into something bigger than it actually is that makes the kids behave that way.But that's just my 2 rappen worth towards this.
Here again,it pays to talk with your pubescent boys and girls about contraception EARLY enough. I learnt that despite the sexual education classes at school they are often too timid to ask the really important questions about STD's,HIV and such,so those who have problems to talk about that and feel embarrassed,consider it a well worthy thing to step of the personal feeling of yours to help your child to protect her/himself.
I made a appointment for my eldest daugther when she was 15 to get the Pill prescribed for her,now at 17 she regularly stays overnight at her boyfriends home.........and I can enjoy my weekends without worrying
I ran a forum search and thought, although old, this thread captures well my concerns and need for discussion so dusting it off (cough17yearscough)
I have two boys of the age where this is relevant. I am of the mind things happen when they should but last weekend the little one (9yo) must have tripped a wire, as he was genuinely distressed after seeing some weird (even by my accounts) porn that a buddy of his shared in the game chat.
My early search tells me that OpenDNS has some free solutions - I wonder if anyone has changed their home router settings to accommodate it and can share thoughts?
Open to hearing experiences you had, be it on the geeky side, or conversation side - I feel these go hand in hand 
If you want to use OpenDNS, then it is as simple as using their pornblocking DNS servers:
- 208.67.222.123
- 208.67.220.123
It’s not a bulletproof solution, but seems quite easy.
