Sup /g/
I have to set up parental controls for a client so they can be helicopter parents. The kid (13) is supposedly pretty smart and has already bypassed Microsoft family safety. I was thinking opendns on the router, securing it, and then making sure he's not an admin on the pc so he can't modify the machine's dns settings. I realize that if he's determined enough nothing will stop him. So what do? (Aside from real parenting, because I can't really suggest that).

Don't enable shitty parenting. That kid will most likely get through whatever he wants, and he won't take long to figure out Linux Live distros on a USB key. Unless you get that PC and home network locked down to corporate levels of paranoia, you're SOL

In addition to your ideas also enable: Group policy, secure boot, only boot from HDD/SSD, BIOS password, physical lock on pc casing.

Good ideas, thanks

you are waging an arms race war against a 13 year old ball of lust and hormones.
don't be surprised when you wake up one day and realize he knows more about tech than you do.

Dude I know this is useless. I was an enterprising kid too.

well, think of it this way:
rather than trying to help shelter this kid,
you are simply requiring him to overcome more difficult obstacles to get to the cheese. you are /g/rooming him.
