Wireless Router Logging

[hxcmetalhed]

I tried to google it, but I couldn't find anything helpful.
I want to log all websites accessed on my home network through my router. more specifically, I want to see what websites my children are accessing. Is there a program that will either a) create a log file or b) send me an email with a list? Any help would be appreciated.

Well..

Network Magic does that. You can set up so that it will email you all the websites that a visited on a PC/laptop connected to your network but you will need to install Network Magic on those PCs aswell..

You're looking for a keylogger, and no offense, but you will not get one here, against the rules. The closest we could offer you is PC Pandora, but the subs ran out for them a while back.

I am not interested in a keylogger. What I want to know is how to get a log of websites accessed through router. I don't want passwords or logins, just a list of all websites accessed through my internet connection.

I misunderstood you then. As for a logger, I do not know of one atm. I'll take a look around for one though. Can I have your router's model number and manufacturer's name?

If your router don't support it, then you can't have that feature on your router. It's hardcoded.
Another way is to make a computer a server, install a proxy or ISA server to share the internet connection.

This way, your PC server can log all websites.
Talk is easy, but setting up a Microsoft Proxy / ISA server is a pain. Moreover the PC will have to be turned on in order for the other computers to get internet connection.
There are free version of internet sharing software such as AnalogX Proxy.

Eh... doc, I was going to set him up with Tomato if he had one of the routers on the list

Considering that wouldn't give him all that he was looking for and it's easy to pause it, I don't think it would work for him, as6670
