[QUOTE="AlexB23, post: 77630137, member: 450900"] Alright, for those who do not have tech experience, I summarized this for everyone else. Even, I had a hard time following, so I had to ask AI the meaning of one of these terms which was VPS. Summary: If you want to filter internet content at home without paying monthly fees, there are three main options using free and open source software. First, you can purchase a compatible router for around $40 and install OpenWRT, LibreCMC, or DD-WRT. Second, consider getting a single-board system that supports one of these distributions or another Linux/BSD installation. However, note that additional equipment may be required such as a separate wireless access point and ethernet switch. Lastly, setting up a home server allows for advanced customization; however, this will likely be the most expensive option starting at several hundred dollars. All methods enable DNS (domain name system) filtering, logging, and provide freedom from ongoing costs beyond electricity usage (unless your home is solar powered, then electricity is free). For remote devices outside of your home network, a virtual private server (VPS) can host a filtered DNS service though setup requires technical expertise. [/QUOTE]
