It's much easier than that.  Wait until they figure out they can bypass
the firewall all together just by plugging the network cable from the
cable modem direct into their PC (and renew the lease).

I hope your kids aren't on this list!  Otherwise you'll have to lock the
IPCOP PC and the cable modem in a closet.    ;-)
