The also skip the technical stuff (which would be proxy based with authentication) and just go directly to parenting. Have some chats, agree on some ground rules etc :)
Sort-of related: I used to work for a company that supplied networking kit to schools. What we learned from talking to them was that when the schools had some sort of filter, the kids would inevitably find a way around it; indeed, it was seen as a challenge, and of course, if it's not been blocked, it's legit, right? OTOH some schools had a much simpler system - all internet access was logged, and there was an "oops!" book where the children would note down if / when they stumbled across something "inappropriate". If they failed to log it there would be consequences... obvs this sort of system would fail in some schools, but in others, giving the children the responsibility of policing themselves worked very well indeed.
