Safesearch

[bilboSNB]

Is there a way of enforcing google safe search on the standard asus router firmware?

I have it enforced on RMerlins.

Maybe it used to. But now it's impossible since the entire search is Https.
So no, there's no way!

I have been thinking of trying out Merlin.. I am currently using Tomato...
I have been able to force SafeSearch for all Google's domains by adding the following script under Administration/Init

tlds="com ac ad ae com.af com.ag com.ai al am co.ao com.ar as at com.au az ba com.bd be bf bg com.bh bi bj com.bn com.bo com.br bs bt co.bw by com.bz ca com.kh cc cd cf cat cg ch ci co.ck cl cm cn www.g.cn com.co co.cr com.cu cv com.cy cz de dj dk dm com.do dz com.ec ee com.eg es com.et fi com.fj fm fr ga ge gf gg com.gh com.gi gl gm gp gr com.gt gy com.hk hn hr ht hu co.id ir iq ie co.il im co.in io is it je com.jm jo co.jp co.ke ki kg co.kr com.kw kz la com.lb com.lc li lk co.ls lt lu lv com.ly co.ma md me mg mk ml com.mm mn ms com.mt mu mv mw com.mx com.my co.mz com.na ne com.nf com.ng com.ni nl no com.np nr nu co.nz com.om com.pa com.pe com.ph com.pk pl com.pg pn com.pr ps pt com.py com.qa ro rs ru rw com.sa com.sb sc se com.sg sh si sk com.sl sn sm so st com.sv td tg co.th com.tj tk tl tm to tn com.tn com.tr tt com.tw co.tz com.ua co.ug co.uk us com.uy co.uz com.vc co.ve vg co.vi com.vn vu ws co.za co.zm co.zw"

In Merlin Lan> DNS Filter > Clean Browsing : will give you Safe Search along with adult /malicious blocking.

does that Safe Search includes all of Google's domains?

I have not tested it myself but that is how it is described.

oh I see... .that's waht you meant by Clean Browsing. I know that dns service, but if you use their SafeSearch dns IP, it will also enable YouTube's strict mode for ALL users which is not good.
Right now I am using Tomato firmware and I am using the script code I set above and it works great for all Google domains.

I have been thinking in trying out Merlin, but I see that it may not have a few features I currently have in Tomato.

I actually was able to get the following script with the help of another user Dave... hopefully it will help the OP with your question.. it helped me!

add the following script via ssh to force SafeSearch on all google domains.

#!/bin/sh
