For the last 2 weeks I have been researching hosts files & blacklists in general. I think the shortest general purpose list boiled down to 745 unique domains, while the longest is pushing 600k lines in 25 category files.
My original interest was in blocking ads, but soon expanded to blocking spy- & other malware. I have no interest in blocking erotica, unless it's coming sleazy sites w/ aggressive advertising. My Where is a small home LAN w/ no one under 60 using it. Your needs may vary.
My Q is: What do you want to do, for Whom, & Where?
I'm trying to setup a decent filtering method for when I allow my 6 year old to access the internet. He's a good kid and I stay involved with her usage, but I'd like the extra layer of protection. In short, I want to block porn and keep the sleeze away from my kids.
