router with content filter

I am looking for a wireless router/fire wall device that has fairly robust content filtering (I work for a church computer lab).

A lot of the routers I've seen offer web site filtering and key word filtering, but I'm looking for something a little stronger.

I noticed that some Draytek Vigor models work with SurfControl, but I've read some bad reviews of them.

I'd also like to stay away from any kind of subscription service too.

Thanks.
 
This looks promising. How hard is it to configure security features? I read a little bit of the installation guide, but I have little experience or knowledge in this field. Will the default settings give me a practical level of security?

Thanks

You may be interested in running Dansgaurdian (web content filter) and squid (web proxy/caching) plus adzapper. If you set DD-WRT and squid for transparent proxy, there will be no need for GPO or manual web proxy entry across browsers.

Just download ubuntu jeos, apt-get the software, and after some fiddling, you should be good to go.
