Tracking websites visited through a home network

[Hedgie]

I have 2 PC's 2 laptops plus a couple of mobile phones at home and I want to track what websites are being visited through my home network.
Seen all kinds of advice when I Google it but wondered what the easiest way is for a not so techie person to do?

Why do you want to know what websites are being visited?

 

[Hedgie]

Mainly to check my kids are not accessing sites they shouldn't be.

For a non techy perhaps OpenDNS https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/ should be simple enough to set up

For filtering, I would go with OpenDNS too. It might break *some* functionality on *some* sites that rely on 3rd party services. Along with that, I would setup a firewall/something that allows DNS requests only to be sent to OpenDNS's servers.

For tracking, that's a little bit more complex.

For simple tracking (as in what websites are accessed), a DNS-based solution (that records DNS queries) is the approach to go.

For in-depth tracking (as in what specific pages on those websites are accessed)... that's another story.
