pfBlockerNG conflicts with Squid + SquidGuard?
-
I installed Squid with SquidGuard and the lists downloaded from dsi.ut-capitole.fr
But I also wanted to install pfBlockerNG to complete the protection, for example block all access from abroad.
Now, even without activating pfBlockerNG I already see that references to Squid and Squidguard services disappear in the dashboard and this makes me think that there is some conflict.I am following the documentation and several guides on the Internet.
In this first configuration of pfSense I am already encountering various problems and I would not like to add others.
It is normal that with pfBlockerNG its widget appears in the dashboard, but in the widget of active services those of Squid and SquidGuard disappear? -

Sorry, I don't use Squid so I can't speak to what you are seeing related to it's widget. But I did want to comment on your quote above. If you are thinking of using pfblocker to block things from coming into your WAN from abroad that is not the right approach. The WAN has a default rule that already blocks all unsolicited traffic on the WAN from entering.
I was just recently helping someone out with this same issue and you can get more details here: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1022334
