BTW, in the browser, this dnsmasq setting will lock them to youtube's safe search.

(This option will enforce it on your whole network through the browser. Although you can exempt certain hosts if you choose to.)

If they are using a seperate google account on the tablet, you can also just turn on safesearch for that particular account. I think that covers search, and youtube.


I found that the above dnsmasq works well for youtube accessed from Safari or IE etc (I think I needed to add /m.youtube.com/216.239.38.120 as well); however it doesn't force the safe search on the iphone youtube app...ideas anyone? I tried adding /youtu.be/216.239.38.120 in the dnsmasq but no luck.

This is the only hole in my family network right now- a combination of opendns and dnsmasq works really well. I block everything except the google search engine and youtube with opendns and use dnsmasq to force safesearch with google and youtube except for the iphone app problem.
