      Uncheck Enable SSL filtering as well.  Explicit means your PC is either told where the proxy is, or it can find it itself.  With transparent mode, your PC is never ever aware that it's being proxied.

        Well, for some reason it still doesn´t work.
        I expect to be able to block e.g. https://www.google.com. As this URL is in the target rules of [blk_BL_searchengines], which is set to DENY, that should work, right?
        I unchecked "Enable SSL filtering" and rebooted pfsense. I configured Firefox to use the same proxy on port 3128 for all protocols. I verified that some pages with ads have their ads now blocked, so the proxy IS working for http. Now firefox states "Unable to connect"…. when searching on https://www.google.com  >:(

          Right… now my PC knows where the proxy is(I told it). But because SSL filtering is turned off, it doesn't accept ssl connections...

            It's working.  That's what you get with a blocked HTTPS connection.  Can I assume other HTTPS sites work just fine?

                    OMG, it IS working …
                    Sorry I was rude.
                    Still need to let this sink in.

                    Thanks again

                      No problem.  Services - Squidguard also has a Log tab where you can see it blocking stuff.

                        You seem to be using Firefox to test HTTPS filtering; please not FF does not use the system certificate storage as you indicated in your screenshot - you need to add trusted root certificate to FF own storage. See https://docs.diladele.com/administrator_guide_4_8/https_filtering/install_certificates/win_ff.html
