Since dansguardian ain't completely free an alternative has gain more support. Dvserg has been working hard on SquidGuard, so check that one out instead. ATM he is writing on a quick start guide too.

use squidguard, it works. Unless you want to fillter sites using the PICS labeling system. Use combination of squid access control (blacklist) feature, squidguard ACL & destination rules and pfsense aliases <–--find range of IP you want to block ( in my case, the youtube IPs range) and create the block rules in the LAN site from reaching the youtube IPs range. Check squid logs for urls dan domains that slip from the above blacklists and add them to the destination rules of squidguard or the blacklist section of squid.
My LAN now is not busy anymore but with only disgusted LAN users who could not watch online video streaming. BTW, make sure to only allow necessary protocol from your lan side. In my case, I only allowed http (80), https (443), ssh (22) and dns (53).

Anoth option is to use www.Opendns..com I also only allow my dns servers to access 53 to the WAN so users cannot circumvent dns filtering.
