[ale] Easy way to add and delete iptables rules

[DJ-Pfulio]

Another weenie option.

USB wifi adapter. Block that MAC from connections. Most home routers
have this feature built-in.  Only allow known MACs. Take away the
wifi-adapter when they are bad.

Of course, in a real business, forcing all traffic through a proxy and
only allowing the proxy to have external DNS access would be important.
After all, traffic can be tunneled through DNS connections.  OTOH, if
your kids get to that level of sophistication, can't say that I'd punish
them. ;)
