CTparental is one of the best tools for filtering access to web content. The fact that it provides an easy to use web interface means anyone can administer it. No deep knowledge of Linux internals is required. The tool can be installed within 5 minutes and ready to use. It is a productive tool for kids and students, and even in a corporate environment. You can save on bandwidth by restricting access to sites like youtube and torrent which are BW intensive.
Find your deb file here for a Debian or Ubuntu-based OS (Debian 9 and Ubuntu 17.xx) : https://github.com/marsat/CTparental/releases
