how do you all differentiate from OpenDNS's family config? I've used that with pretty good success so far, but always open to improvements.

Our key differentiators are (1) Being able to filter inappropriate content on trusted websites (Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, etc) that children use frequently. Domain based blocking allows or denies the entire website. But cannot for example, filter out a "bad" page on Wikipedia without blocking the entire domain (2) Being able to provide easy parental access. Parents login to Securly via our website and immediately get unfiltered Internet access.
Would be interested in knowing how you're doing the content filtering. Returning a filtering proxy server in place of the actual server?
Correct. But only for the sites that are known to have content that might be age inappropriate.
