OpenDNS looks like the best bet. At first I thought it was something I needed to install. But actually it's completely webbased (the only software needed is a basic client app to update the IP on the account for those on ISPs that use dynamic IPs, which is what most folks likely have)
So I just configured my LAN connection to use their DNS servers as well and confirmed they are blocked on my PC, thus will definitely carry over to my virtual access point:
And thus results in this when I attempt to view any of the blocked domains in my web browser:
Others who do not need a complicated setup like mine could just point their routers to OpenDNS's DNS servers to apply the filtering to the entire wifi network in their house. So this would be the best option for those who don't have a router that supports this kind of filtering or is finding that they have the feature, but it doesn't work correctly for whatever reason.
EDIT: CONFIRMED! This works for me. I get a 005-4320 error when I attempt to use eShop. Looks like I'm good to go!
