Web filtering outside the network?

STarted using the utm at home, really like it, it occurs to me, my father gets a ton of viruses and i wonder if i could configure his proxy settings and my utm such that the utm filters his web traffic and hopefully stops viruses and malware before he installs it?
I have the web filter configured in transparent mode and i would like to keep it that way if possible. 
Id like to aviod putting him on a vpn if possible and ideally id like his computer to work even if my system were to go offline. I do have a public dns name that points to the utm. 
Any inout is appreciated.
