What is needed for the router:

- allows only those users who are logged into it;
- binding to mac-address;
— has a black list of sites;
- good statistics for the month.

If some software is able to monitor URLs according to certain parameters, for example, not to let them go to sites that contain porno, tube, etc. in their names. - It would be great.

In general, I am writing a little chaotically, because I had to launch it yesterday ... Of course, I would like to get everything out of the box, because. knowledge to do on the same Linux is not enough yet.

pfSense : download the LiveCD image from the mirror , if necessary, then upload it to the USB flash drive in two clicks. Boot from him/her and get a working router with web-gui. You can save / restore settings through the form, if you wish, you can install it on disk (local access). Very reliable, you don’t have to repair, it can do everything you need and don’t need. Supports HA with its own kind.

If WIndows - KIS + UserGate is a paid solution. Linux - Squid + Dansguardian + NAT + Clamav - you will find a free solution on the Web, for example , here and here . A router based on network equipment, well, here I can say that the functionality in conventional firmware is poor, and more functionality costs a lot of money, as well as knowledge.

In addition to Mikrotik, there is also ZeroShell: a small Linux distribution with a web interface.

pfsense, but will have to be configured. That is, simply checking the box “do not let in contact” will not work. Everything is configured via the web interface.

I didn’t see the content of the filter and sane statistics in iron routers. If you are not strong in linux, then install a ready-made gateway with a web interface in Russian (I like zentyal for example, although you can do better about statistics) If there are a lot of users, it’s better to ask someone to configure with resiliency.
