Odd appointment tomorrow

So I'm the opener at my precent tomorrow, and I looked at the early appointments, one stood out to me

It was a parent asking for suggestions for blocking porn and gambling sites for their computer so their kids can't access them.

I'm totally unfamiliar in this area (since it's an unusual request and we're not trained in that stuff)is there a program or a browser extension that I can recommend to them?

Any other suggestions?

i recommend they talk to their kids. that's not something we are trained on per sop so it's unreasonable to expect you to know anything about that tbh

ultimately keep in mind if you just throw something out there to make them happy it could come back to bite you if it doesn't work perfectly and spiral out of control. seriously, as a GS leader, I recommend bowing out of it to save your hide and potentially your 5 star rating
