I'm involved with a charity that has just completed the major renovation of a farm house that will be available to members of the charity for everything from rest bite care through to holidays.
They've had broadband installed (ADSL2) by Chess Broadband. The supplied router is rubbish, with limited configuration options so I'd like some advice as to which ADSL router to look at.
I've also been asked to draw up an Acceptable Internet Usage Policy which will form part of the contract members will sign before there stay. I've got the basics covered, thanks to templates I've found on the web but if anyone has any experience with this sort of thing I'd be grateful for any input.
Obviously with the new router I'll need a fully configurable firewall. I realise won't be able to block everything using the router, so I'll have to look at DNS filtering with subscription to OpenDNS. Do Google's public DNS Servers have content filtering options?
With regards to file sharing (Torrent and Usenet) what would be the best way to block these without interfering with download/streaming services like Spotify or iTunes.
New Router:
Fully configurable firewall
Good wireless coverage (Dualband Wireless N)
Stable and Reliable
Any help would be great.
