      Hi Friands,

      For a while I was doing studies on pfSense and brought in this direction into a series of articles in the work I have done and thinking about this system using or tampered with by other friends could olla thought it would be appropriate to share where that information.

      The following article is a training series as well as the mind was created from scratch by a person who does not know any of this was even described the level setup that can cause articles.

      And all topics are presented in a practical way as well as document and video recording.

      The article quoted the source address for all of the following studies prepared by my party stated.

      Which help in translating from English to Turkish language article
      Thank BARIŞ TÜFEKÇİOĞLU.

      comment and like I get plenty of your friends :)

        I appreciate the initiative.
        Publishing papers about IT stuff and sharing experience is nice.

        On the other hand, I really don't understand why you push it in so many different sections  :o
        I'm not sure people in the French, Spanish, Portuguese sections (plus some additional) have real interest due to different language.
        Those speaking / reading English will find you announcement here  ;)

        On the technical side, I do not share all your configuration options.
        e.g. you describe Squid as to be configured in transparent mode, without even discussing any pros and cons. Accordingly, you show how to block some services using "aliases", which is, from my standpoint, a lost battle as these IP are going to change.

        Transparent proxy has significant drawbacks, even if this is pfSense default configuration, reason why I think it at least deserves some comments so that pfSense admin knows what this brings and doesn't.
