It is like shutting it down to lock it down completely so that the teens get 
to bed (I do not get home from work until after their bedtime and Mom 
actually goes to bed before them often).  There have been times that they 
have gone down after I go to bed to surf the net until 2 or 3 in the morning 
and then they are a real pain to live with the next day from lack of sleep. 

Eventually I would like to see if I can add squidguard to the firewall too 
since I am doing transparent proxy already anyway.  Escpecially since I have 
little ones (4, 7, 8, and 11) surfing the net as well.
