Security → Re: How to track someone's PC and online activities?

Sorry, I was out for the weekend after I posted the original message. My friend is really looking to monitor, as opposed to filter or block her son's activities.

I'm not a parent therefore wouldn't know a thing about controling a kid. She simply asked if there is an way that she could use without much technical know how, and that will be difficult for her son to bypass, and I agreed to look into it.

Packet inspection wouldn't work for her. She needs something in plain English.

Get a router with parental control. You don't have to enable controls, but such routers usually have extended logging capabilities.
