      Hello, I'm new to pfSense, I hope you can help me.

      I have the following setup:

      PCs–---->Wireless Router------->LAN------>WAN Router
                                                            |
                                                            |
                                                            |
                                                        pfSense

      I have to setup a transparent proxy + lightsquid on pfSense, for web activity monitoring. Currently, the PCs are using the WAN router as the default gateway, is there any way to force their web traffic through pfSense and still go out through the WAN router, so the proxy will pick up the data? Thanks.

        So, what is PFsense doing for you right now if it's not connected to the internet?

          If you want it transparent you need to have it in between your clients and wan router. That means you need two interfaces.
