I am currently in the process of setting something up for our seven-year-old. My project is to set up a squid forwarding proxy server and have the family computer in the living room utilize that proxy server as its Internet connection. As usual, I am making this whole enterprise harder on myself by configuring the squid server to be able to dynamically change which WAN connection it uses dependent on which port is accessed by the client computer on my local network. Port 3128 means WAN1 (Spectrum cable), port 3129 means WAN2 (AT&T fiber). Step after that will be setting up port 3130 means outgoing VPN interface. Currently slogging through ip tables, routes, and rules, which isn’t my wheelhouse. :-D

We have pi-hole too, primarily for blocking ads and call-homes.
