        Did you tried this?

            just select clamdscan on system -> dansguardian -> general and save config

              I did just that but then Danguardian pops up with a message stating it is blocking the site because it can not scan it, Categories:  Content scan.  What else needs to be done; do I also need to disable a categories filter?

              Thanks!

                Force a frashclam update on console and then restart dansguardian(or save config)

                  Did that, same response - website blocked, unable to scan content…

                  In addition, if I turn on clamdscan, and then turn it off because it is not working properly yet, I have to reboot the box for internet connectivity to be restored.

                  Should I try to enable it and reboot?

                        I see other people have had this problem, but nothing sticks out yet.

                          Marcello,

                          I tried doing this and the download was successful, however, the deny page for Cisco is still displayed when clamdscan is activated.

                            Problem resolved…

                            I made a change thinking that was the problem for something else but it wasn't and caused a problem with clamdscan working properly.  Now everything is working.

                              Hi all,

                              I followed this, and got it to work, but found that things eventually slowed to a crawl. I think my box may be under powered, but for me, blocking Ads network wide would be enough.

                              Can privoxy work standalone?  I get an error in my browser when I try to NAT directly to 8118 :

                              invalid header received from client

                              Privoxy is listening on localhost:8118

                              I would appreciate any tips.

                              Phob

                                Did you tried only dansguarguardian (with clamav enabled) + squid?

                                  No I didn't - I thought privoxy would be more light weight, if I only need to block ads…

                                    You are having issues using only privoxy?

                                      Sorry for the delay in my reply.

                                      Yes, I was receiving an error message for every page I tried to browse when I pointed the NAT rule directly to port 8118 (Privoxy):

                                      "invalid header received from client"

                                      I finally installed Squid3 again, and set 8118 as the parent.  I still wasn't having any luck until I changed Squid to transparent mode and eliminated the NAT rule to 8118.

                                      Now things seem to be working, but I'm running Squid when I don't think I should need to for a Privoxy only setup.

                                        I get the following error when trying to start privoxy:
                                        Starting privoxy.
                                        /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpcre.so.0" not found, required by "privoxy"

                                        Has anyone else had this?  What did you do to resolve the issue?

                                        thanks

                                          When adding the privoxy package, here is a warning I get…  is there a privoxy version that uses pcre-8.32?

                                          Fetching ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/privoxy.tbz... Done.
                                          pkg_add: warning: package 'privoxy-3.0.16_1' requires 'pcre-8.02', but 'pcre-8.32' is installed

                                            I follwed the steps on the first post and got everything working w/o a hitch.

                                            I also tried just the Dansguardian -> squid method which worked but for some reason it was much slower and didnt block any ads vs the dansquardian -> squid-> HAVP-> privoxy method (which makes no sense conceptually) and i could never get dansguardian's built in clamd to work properly (which also makes no sense)

                                            besure to see this on the webupload bug fix as well http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,58442.15.html (which works as this post was sucessful)
