OpenDNS can only report what it knows about your network. Using mine as an example, the inside network is a bunch of 192.168.0. addresses. OpenDNS knows nothing about this. However, OpenDNS can know about every request outbound from here, which is on a totally different network (that is, the address that web hosts get our browse requests from is more like 72.xxx.xxx.xxx).
In other words, the outbound "URLs" of the all the machines on your home network is probably the same, that being the (external) IP address of your cable modem.
-- How hard can it be to get software that reports out in a simple dashboard "what urls did my various PCs go to, and when?" --
Not too. I think there are quite a few products that do this. If you don't need a report that tells which machine on your network made each web visit, then all you need is a way to convert the IP addresses in the Linksys/CISCO report into names.
“all you need is a way to convert the IP addresses in the Linksys/CISCO report into names.”
True. The native server log built in to the router gives me the .1010, .102 etc IP addresses of each PC and the IP address of the site visited (outbound) but not the time. harrumph. Plus I want the software to do the work of converting IP addresses to domains. (I’ll pay for that convenience).
FWIW the Cisco/Linksys site lists the availability of an enhanced logging/viewing tool, but returns a 404 when I click on the link ...
