Blocking adult content

]]> While over in Perth setting up the Meraki wireless mesh network for Edge of the Web (which, running through a 100MB VPN which was going over dual fibre through the University of Western Australia was amazingly fast and touted as “the best free wireless provided by any web conference yet”) I noticed a new feature in the Meraki Dashboard.

On the Configure > Advanced page there is now an option to block adult content. It’s a beta feature and uses OpenDNS – but until the Great Australian Firewall is introduced next year it’s a better-than-nothing measure to ensure legal use of your Internet connection by other people using your free wireless gateway, so it’s probably a good idea to turn it on.

Not that I’ve ever heard reports of people illegally using Meraki or other free wireless networks for illegal purposes or people getting in trouble with the law, but it’s sensible to minimise the risk.

Free Australia Wireless goes to Perth for Edge of the Web

]]> Next month in November I’ll be travelling across to Perth for the Edge of the Web conference – both to see some great speakers and presentations but also to be providing the wireless mesh network hardware and support to provide conference attendees with free Internet access throughout the conference.
