Guide to filtering web content (http and https) with pfsense 2.3
-
yes

May I ask though, what is the exact version of pfsense that you are using just for comparison. If this will not work, then I will need to reinstall my pfsense box, maybe its broken.
I am using:
2.3.4-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Wed May 03 15:13:29 CDT 2017
FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p19On the other hand, below is the screen shot of my testing NOT USING WPAD but setup the browser proxy.
Also, I tried direct approach that you said, and the result the same error as before.
What exact pfsense version are you using ?
-
2.3.4-RELEASE (amd64)
Something is broken. -
2.3.4-RELEASE (amd64)
Something is broken.what is in your wpad file?
did you install your pfsense or upgraded to 2.3.4 release?
-
wpad is in the guide.
I have been upgrading since i joined.

Hi,
I am new to pfsense, can someone have a look at the attached image and tell me if it looks correct please.

I have followed this guide.
When I run proxy test it shows that I am under proxy. Google works fine, and so do most websites. But such websites as Amazon won't load, gives error.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Post your squid config. Are you using just WPAD or Transparent proxy with mitm (cert of all devices) or Transparent proxy mitm set to splice all?
The best setup i found to use is WPAD and transparent proxy with mitm splice all, set devices to auto config.

Hi thanks for your reply.
I followed the guide, page 1. I copied and pasted logs from PackageSquidGuardLogs

if you set squidguard to allow all do still get the issue?

Hi, thank you for the reply.
I have it sorted now, i didn't go to internet properties/connections/LAN settings - tick automatically detect settings
At the moment I have Wpad.dat working, I also have MSSL MITM working on splice all, I have android working now (manually entered wpad.dat address).
Is this method the best functioning method, or am i better to setup a websever to to host the wpdad files? What are the main benifits of setting up a VM hosting these files?

Not sure, maybe if you had a very large number of users you could use another webserver for the wpad.

Even if you left that unticked the transparent proxy should have still connected you, verify that the transparent proxy is working (e.g block port 80 and 443 and use a program that gets updates form the net to check).

Hi,
I am new to pfsense, can someone have a look at the attached image and tell me if it looks correct please.
Was looking at this guide, https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Redirecting_all_DNS_Requests_to_pfSense and comparing to your screenshot. What are the implications of unchecking the "invert match" box and not disabling NAT reflection?
-
Thanks aGeekHere! This guide encouraged me to revisit HTTPS filtering for several of my sites.
The WPAD options seems great for PCs but didn't work well on Android devices. Things get really difficult when you have 2 or more network interfaces you want to proxy/filter using WPAD.
In the end, I just set up transparent proxy for both http and https. Creating a CA on the firewall and then assigning that in Squid for the CA along with "Splice All" for SSL/MITM Mode works great!
I think it's been mentioned before but your guide would really benefit from having 2 completely separate sets of instructions for transparent only and WPAD only.
-
I now recommend that you use both, WPAC as the default and transparent with splice all as backup. So software that has no proxy settings still get redirected to the proxy in stead of getting blocked by the firewall rule 80 443. For android you can manually set the proxy, sometimes splice all can show SSL errors when web browsing. I will clean up the guide when I have time.
-
After using the guide and having everything setup correctly, I noticed pfblockerng easy_list stop blocking ads. Have anyone have this issue and know how to fix it?
-
sometimes splice all can show SSL errors when web browsing.
I'd say "often" a lot of SSL errors! ;)
In my opinion Splice All is not usable in the way it is now (without WPAD). -
guess it is way too late for asking abbration.
But what does "Tic" stands for?
I can not find out the Tic in Pfsense and can not figure it out.
Plz somebody help me!!!
