      Hi Folks.
      is it possible to redirect users to specific location (internal webserver) with pfsense.
      if they want to download certain file types (.zip, .rar, .exe) from internet.
      i had a look at the layer7 stuff but it only had an option to block, NO Redirection.
      Thanks in advance.

      i love pfsense because i love open source.

        Maybe something squid can do in transparent mode?

          I re-read this and its clear I made some assumptions in my head about what you are trying to do.  Are you trying to re-direct them so the download of these file types occurs locally or are you re-directing in order to scan them for viruses, etc?

            Hi  loupalladino
            Yes i'm trying to redirect the users to a internal webserver where "thebear" front end tool for "aria2" is hosted so that users can download files using the "thebear". Yes,if i can only redirect users web address based on the download extension .zip, .mp3 .rar than my mission would be accomplished.
            Many Thanks
            Kalu

              Namaste/konichiwa, pfsense gurus.
              could you please show me the way, it's total dark over here.
              what i want to do using pfsense is,
              If users browser's url is detected as http://www.download.com/pfsense.zip or .rar or.exe
              Pfsense should redirect the user to my internal webserver where the bear is running.
              and user can download it from thebear's page.
              for it i have made 2 softwares running in my network
              –--

              1. The RPC Listener
                http://aria2.sourceforge.net/

              1. The Front End Tool
                http://sourceforge.net/projects/thebear/

              in which direction to look for  ? I will walk the way myself :-)
              Is this possible with pfsense ?
              Thanks
