You'll have to set up a proxy computer that runs dansguardian or a
similar filter.

I only have one system here. Maybe the proxy could be a virtual machine. Question is how much this would complicate/bog down the works.



You should not need a separate machine to run DansGuardian (and e.g. tinyproxy). They'll run on the "main" machine and you would simply need to point your browser to the "localhost" proxy.

Of course there is nothing to stop your daughter reconfiguring the browser to bypass DansGuardian, but I'm assuming this isn't likely (yet!). To fix that you _would_ need a separate proxy machine.
