Re: wireless router

You want to be able to block all outgoing LAN to WAN requests except for the sites you wish to allow.
This is very possible with firewall routers such as the zyxel zywall series, which have firewall rules in both directions and is standard practice for many businesses. Harder to find in a home router though.
I am aware of zyxel home routers that by delving into the CLI command structure (telnet into the router vice the web gui) one can change the web gui of Block Sites, to "ALLOW" sites, after changing the default open LAN to WAN to closed LAN to WAN....

»Locking All but some LAN to WAN traffic on P334

details that process. There may be newer routers out with this capability and probably your best bet is to explore some of the home router third party firmwares ddwrt/tomatoe that can be put on a linksys or buffalo routers and accomplish the same via a web gui type interface.
