Network filtering software and questions?

[lolcocks]

Okay, so I have a Linksys E1200 with DD-WRT big and apparently blocking websites does not work for https.

So I wanted to try any network filtering tools out there but I am completely unsatisfied with any of them.

I have seven devices connected wirelessly. None wired.
I can wire one if required.

I want to disable file uploading and email sites on 5 of these PCs.

How do I achieve this?

Won't using OpenDNS filter out all 5 PCs rather than just one?

Please help.

Not sure on DD-WRT, but you can set what uses what on the router, or you can do it on the clients. Use OpenDNS on the router, but then on the two devices you don't want to be filtered, set a static DNS, like Googles (8.8.8.8). It'll by pass the DNS screening on the router.

Or find a router that supports IP based ACLs so you can use a black list on the router and have it set based on the client MAC.
