Do you have any documentation on this? It's something I've been interested in setting up.

I do a similar thing using Privoxy : http://www.privoxy.org/

You'll need to set up Privoxy on a machine on your network (unfortunately the config is not the easiest to get to grips with) and then set up your devices to use it as a HTTP/HTTPS proxy.

If you have a VPN, you can configure clients to automatically use your proxy. For instance, on OpenVPN, add a couple of lines to the server.conf, using your own ip + ports:

  push "dhcp-option PROXY_HTTP 10.8.0.1 4862"
  push "dhcp-option PROXY_HTTPS 10.8.0.1 4862"

I use a similar technique based on DNS: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/

That depends completely on the router software that you use. You will need to use a custom firmware like dd-wrt, tomato, openWRT, etcetera.

I run it here on tomato and use something similar to: http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/auto-dl-hosts-f...

It's safe to assume I have a standard Linux system. I have an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter now, and a few regular x86_64 always-on systems behind it I can proxy traffic through if necessary.
