        I use opendns.com for this. Sign up and set dns on gateway really easy.

            Open DNS is a good suggestion, however you can do this with squid and squidguard. Just install squid and configure it to your needs. Then install squidguard. You can add custom blacklists that are more in-depth. From here you can block pr0n from pfsense.

                  I think he's talking about squid cache.

                          That's how to clear the DNS Cache, I think he means clear the Squid Cache like you can in IPCop via the GUI.

                          To do this you need to
                          1. Stop Squid
                          2. delete everything in /var/squid/cache
                          3. recreate squid swap```
                          squid -z

                          4\. Start Squid

                                Take a look at the tutorial for squid guard. It shows you how to configure it step by step. Gotta love those Flash tutorials.

                                    You could always install the 'SquidGuard' Package, and deny access with the Porn Blacklist.

                                        If you can get to your router do the following:
                                        Go to Services -> Proxy Content -> Default -> and click Destination Ruleset. (See Attachment 1)
                                        Now Scroll to the bottom of your Ruleset list and find "Default Access [all]" Change this to access = allow (See Attachment 2)

                                        Hope this helps.

                                            If you disable SquidGuard do you still get the usr and pass prompt?
