I tried pi-hole, but it turned in a real pain, trying to set it up for normal use, plus two WFH offices. I may give it another try, when I feel more patient.

The idea of mocking websites came from talking to other parents from my kids' school. I was thinking about some form of a local "internet" for our neighbourhood for all the kids. Heavily curated, a mix of mock sites (like the full download of Wikipedia), news through RSS, moderated message boards, etc. I don't think it's an original idea given the current state of the Internet, so at this stage I'm just reading up on design best practices.

    In the past, I've used Adguard Home, and I liked it. When I tried to my Adguard server as the DNS for my router, though, my WFH corporate VPN wouldn't connect, so there's that. Granted, I was using it to remove ads, but people seem to like it for parental controls too.
