Matt’s How-to:

Having established why Gnome Nanny fails (not updated and incompatible), I have found over the years the only reliable method for offering parental controls on Ubuntu is to use either parental controls through a router or on a specific PC via OpenDNS.

Note: if you want this only block content on a single PC, only use OpenDNS on that computer.

1. Browse opendns.com and create an account. Then login, this will bring you to your dashboard.
2. Since we’re only adding the single computer in this example, look the right of the page and add Add a network. Click that button.
3. This will fill in your ISP assigned IP address for you. Click on Add this network.
4. A new popup will appear asking you to assign a “friendly” name to this network. Do so, then make sure you’ve checked off “yes, it is dynamic” (as most people have dynamic IP addresses).
5. Ignoring the option to install anything, close this window by clicking Done.
6. Now click on the IP address in the main screen area, this brings you to the parental control area.
7. Select the level of content filtering you wish to use on this computer. Click apply. (I recommend checking the customize option for each section before choosing)
8. Now you need to install a client that will keep your dynamic IP address, in tune with OpenDNS. From a terminal:

sudo apt-get install ddclient

1. Once the configuration window appears, use your keyboard to select Other, then tab to Ok.
2. The next step from this same terminal dialog is to type, then tab to Ok:

updates.opendns.com

1. In the next window, select dyndns2, tab to Ok.
2. And in the next dialog, type in the username for your OpenDNS account; ie, your email used.
3. Still with me? Good. Now you need to enter the network interface used. If it’s a wired network, it might be eth0 or if it’s wifi, perhaps wlan0 or wlan1. Open a separate terminal and do a ifconfig if you’re unsure.
4. Remember that “Friendly” network name we created previously in the OpenDNS dashboard? Enter it when prompted for your dyndns qualified domain name(s). Then tab to Ok.
5. With this finished, you will want to revisit the terminal again and type:

sudo gedit /etc/ddclient.conf

1. With this conf file open, we’re going to make sure the settings took correctly. Check for the following: username, password, ssl set to yes, etc. Save, then close.
   17) The next step is to make sure OpenDNS is to be used exclusively for DNS on this machine.

sudo gedit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

1. Ignore all of the text listed, scroll down the to the bottom and paste in the following:

supersede domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220;

1. Save the file and close the editor.
2. Rather than merely restarting networking to let the settings take effect, be extra safe and just reboot. And you should be good to go. The ddclient and OpenDNS will now do the content filtering you need, to keep your kids safe. You’re all set!
