Runs a WiFi access point with content filtering and configurable blocking.
-
Dockerfile: specifies the packages and files to install in the chute. Modify this file if you add new files or need to install other dependencies.
-
chute/run.sh: is the default entry point when the chute runs.
- Fork this project to your own github account.
- The chute is already configured for filtering web content that is inappropriate for children. Imagine additional functionality that would be useful for a parental control access point. Try implementing one of these or an idea of your own:
- Disable Internet access during certain hours.
- Block access to certain websites (e.g. facebook.com) during certain hours. You may find iptables useful for this task.
- Launch it on your Paradrop router through paradrop.org.
When creating a version of this chute, you should configure it as shown in the image. The chute's functionality requires enabling a WiFi AP. Feel free to modify the ESSID and password settings or leave the defaults.
Additionally, we recommended adding the OpenDNS address, 208.67.222.222, as a custom DNS server. OpenDNS provides another layer of content filtering based on domain name resolution.
After installing the chute on your router, if everything is configured correctly, you should be able to connect a device to the chute's WiFi AP. Trying to navigate to a website such as "http://proxy-bypass.com" while connected to the Parental Control AP will be rejected by DansGuardian. The Parental Control chute will also filter adult, dangerous, and unlawful content, but please do not test that during the workshop.
