            All of your VLAN are able to pass through the bridge and are able to get to the internet?

            I am not familiar with the limiter or dansguardian, I use the squid3 package for proxying. It is easy to setup and you would only need to tell it what subnets you want to proxy on and it will do that.

              Yes sir all of the VLAN's able to ping each other and has internet.
              I want to ask you if this setup is ok?  this were I come up, because its different from your setup..
              I can't understand your concept, on how to set up my network,

              we successfully setup pfsense in transparent bridge mode behind my Zyxell firewall,,
              the problem is with this set as my WAN=rl0 and LAN=dc0 was bridge in opt1. I cant imagine how can i assign this 3 NIC's because its already in use…

                If it is working, you don't need to do anything. I didn't think that VLAN ids would be kept intact when passing over the bridge much less be able to see any subnets in it. If you remove a VLAN subnet from your alias, does that VLAN no longer work? how is your network connected?

                    This would mean that filtering is working as expected. Just install the packages you want and configure them to allow all your subnets. Once everything is working, you can start restricting if you want.

                        You can do this with limiter, traffic shaper, or squid … The best way depends on what you want to limit as in, all traffic, traffic on certain ports, or just web based download and upload. I am most familiar with the shaper and you can do this with that using a penalty setup. Just run the wizard and when you see penalty ip, put in the entire VLAN2 subnet. You can then create other penalty queues for other subnets. If you want to just have a physical cap, you would use the limiter, but I am not sure how to set that up as I have never used it. (Something for me to learn soon)

                            I have not done this before, but I would speculate that you just need to install squid3, set is to listen on WAN and LAN, and check the option to be transparent.

                                  Where are you having trouble? Perhaps some questions. Search, there is probably a doc or a forum write up for a simple starter config.

                                      Well to get back into your gui, ssh or get to a console and do this:

                                      pgrep -fl proxy_monitor

                                      <get the="" process="" id=""># pgrep -fl squid
                                      <get this="" process="" id="" also=""># kill -9 <proxy_monitory process="" ids=""># kill -9 <squid process="" ids="">This should stop squid and stop it from restarting. You should be able to get to your GUI to remove the package or change the config to only listen on the bridge interface. Does the bridge have an IP address? If not, then it will probably not work.</squid></proxy_monitory></get></get>

                                        hi sir, my PFSense box is on transparent bridge mode. where LAN and WAN is set to none and the only interface that has an IP was the OPT1 (192.168.0.2) where I assign the bridge.

                                        Where can I put this command sir what option will i use?

                                        thanks,

                                            There are a couple of places. You can get on the console with a keyboard or you can enable ssh and do it remotely in a ssh console session.

                                            Squid is a proxy and as such is going to need an IP address. The processes goes PC -> LAN -> localhost proxy -> WAN -> remote server. Since the proxy is running on localhost, is going to need some translation and that is going to require an IP address. If you don't have an extra one, then you are not going to be able to use a proxy service.
