What websites are my family looking at?

Hi

I have an Airport Extreme (4th Gen) and Airport Express (2nd Gen) supplying the wifi around the house. My Mac is connected via ethernet to it, but all other devices are wireless. The AEBS is connected via a Virgin Media Superhub Modem / Router but working in modem only mode.

Is there anyway I can track what websites my family are viewing? Not expecting they are going where they shouldn't but with children just want to be checking what they are doing.

Thanks in advance.

The AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express do not track websites visited, or provide a means to filter sites visited, but a service like Family Shield from OpenDNS might be worth a look.

Hi Bob

Thanks for your quick reply. I am just checking with my ISP that my supplied cable modem / router will work with OpenDNS as know for sure that the previous model didn't.

Is there any other way of checking what sites my family are going to?

Thanks again

Matt

Check the activity logs on the isp modem router. Consult the documentation or call your isp on how to use a browswer to access it.

Have a nice day.

Google the following phrase

monitor internet use at home

If you have an Apple Mac, iPad, or iPhone, there are parental controls on each device that you can set.
