Our kids only use Linux which means I have far more control on what they do. Can't download and install most malware since it just won't run.

Use of OpenDNS controls some access to some sites for any computer on the network, well any I have set up or most visitors too.

Others have already come in on how various routers and firmware can control client access. Some probably can even control more finely such as data limits and actual use limits too.
