Hello :) . I'm Ricardo & I was woundering how to block inappropriate websites on the iPod Touch by my Gateway [ATT 2Wire489 2701 HG-B] that has wifi internet connectivity so that no one on my network can go to inappropriate websites on mobile device (i.e. iPod Touch)? Thanks. God bless :) .

Not easy.

You can install a device that sits between to help control access. You'd need a pretty advanced firewall. Might be easier to allow only sites that you want. And there are ways around that also to some degree.

Might see if there is an ISP that you can switch to that tries to block access to all those sites.

This is also personal for only my computer & for all wireless
enabled (wifi) devices me & my family have, specifically my
iPod Touch.

I had found that there are other webfilter web browser apps
avalible in the app store, but none are or have been able to
be a replacement for Apple iPod Touch Safari browser.

If there's a way to block certain sites or categories through the
Gateway/modem, then please let me know.

I know there was a post or posts on this site about doing as
that way for the iPod Touch or similar, but I can't find or
remember the page(s).
