      Hi everyone,

      New to pfSense, looking for a starting point to what I wish to do.  This is for a home network, wish to gather/review (when needed) of user traffic & site visits.  For those with kids, I'm sure you understand  8)

      What packages should I install & is there some place where there are examples of configs for this type of monitoring.  Not looking to block per say.

      Thanks!

        Try talking with the kids, instead of spying at their back.
        Their trust in you will be completely ruined as soon as they'll realise what you're doing - and that's going to make no good for their relationship with you on the long term.

          Was expecting this reply - thanks for the concern this is already happening.  But we have some stuff we do want to check on.

            Agreed. Trust but verify.

                Squid proxy will log all HTTP/S traffic.

                  Application level control may work better. There is a large business of parental control software that may work better.
