I second this.  All you need is a box (anything over a 133mhz with 32mb
ram should rock) with 2 or 3 NIC's, depending on if you want a DMZ.
Download the IPCOP CD image and make a CD.  Then boot the machine from
the CD and let it walk you through the simple steps.  When finished it
reboots and your router is complete and able to be administered from
http://yourip:81.  Then follow the instructions from IPCops website to
download the Add-ons package.  Simply move this package to the IPCop box
and extract.  Now in your Webadmin you will have a new tab for Add-ons.
Just navigate to this tab and click install on anything that applies to
your situation, this will automatically download DansGuardian and a
bunch of other cool stuff.  Within an hour you will be rocking without
having to know anything about what you are doing.  Also DansGuardian
comes loaded by default with many rules already active.  From my
experience you just need to loosen things to your liking or just leave
it.  If you have any trouble I can send you my step by step
documentation (less than one page).

And again the price, not free, but 1 hour of you life :-)
