Having control over websites which can be accessed using your network is important for most Internet Café Owners. Adult-related sites, for example, should be blocked on internet café network as to prevent minors from accessing the site. Media downloading are also blocked since such sites causes network lag.
Through the advice of my brother who has been into the Internet business for more than six years, I used OpenDNS for my internet filtering needs in our own shop. You don’t need to install anything to use this internet blocker. You just need to register your public IP address.
Sign up under OpenDNS basic
After creating your account, click on the dashboard settings to add your network:
Set the web content filtering on the added network.
Scrolling down, you can also manually add sites that you want to be blocked ALWAYS:
After saving your changes, you must configure your router by replacing your default DNS with the following DNS:
Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220
Also, change the DNS server addresses (under TCP/IP settings) in all computers in the network:
You may now test your settings. All computers connected in the configured router will now make use of the webfilter settings in the openDNS.
