We will be using the Raspberry Pi 3 as a router cum content filter.
Prior experience with command lines and firewalls is a bonus. However, these instructions will work nearly unmodified with almost any computer running Debian Linux or a derivative (Ubuntu, Mint etc.).ĭisclaimer : This guide assumes an intermediate level of experience with Linux, and a willingness to troubleshoot problems if and when they arise. We chose the Raspberry Pi for this project because of its tiny size and negligible power consumption. Thus, we will get our hands dirty, and set up a Raspberry Pi for the job.
There are commercial, ready-to-use content filters available in the market, but for us DIY types, there is no fun in that. This appliance also intercepts the websites that these devices access, and blocks them if they try to access a blacklisted website. To make this possible, we need a router plus content filter – an appliance through which all our devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets connect to the internet.
