I'm not a specialist, but I do highly recommend it. I set it up on my router, and it has blocked a number of 'dangerous' sites. It's also great if you have kids, because it also serves as a filter so your kids can't get themselves into trouble, and they wont know how to get around it as easily as software filters.
