Pfsense same subnet proxy… to monitor traffic
-
I need to monitor a few PC using using squid and lightsquid to see if a kid is going to inappropriate sites
I want to keep the monitored PC in the same subnet… (ie i use printers, and NAS in the same network)
I need help to create this transparent proxy? or filter bridge? on the same network
I CANT put the kid's PC in a different network
is there a way to do this? i just want to use pfSense as a monitoring device

If you're looking for something quick and dirty, then yes… you can leverage, Squid, Lightsquid and SquidGuard for simple monitoring needs. Here are some wiki's to get you started:
-
Setup Squid as a Transparent Proxy -> https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Setup_Squid_as_a_Transparent_Proxy
-
SquidGuard ->https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/SquidGuard_package
-
Lightsquid -> Could not find a configuration wiki, you'll have to use google
For anything more advanced or more detailed, you'll need to implement a UTM.
