At home we use OpenDNS at the router to help do some filtering, we don't block a lot and the filters can sometimes seem a little odd in default. Also the kids don't have their own devices and don't have root (Linux) on the ones they do use otherwise I guess they could use their own DNS settings on the device to bypass this protection. (I personally am not going to fund their own devices other than possibly a Linux laptop that they will not have root access to.)
