<p dir="auto">Did anybody implement pfSense with Squid/Squidguard and any commercial Antivirus solution such as Kaspersky, BitDefender, McAfee, ESET, Sophos and so on? (I clearly do not ask for ClamAV!)</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks for sharing!</p>

<p dir="auto">Huh, I had no idea.  You learn something new every day.</p>

<p dir="auto">No it's not. If you're using a high end firewall with enough power, it will run.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I would rather not have some PC-class desktop as my firewall just so I can scan for viruses and malware that I don't have.  Most of my clients are Android, Apple and Linux.  The Windows boxes have their local AV clients.  I tried ClamAV a few years ago and it was dreadfully slow.  I agree with you when it generally comes to layered security, but AV on the firewall is too much of a performance tradeoff for me.</p>

<p dir="auto">To your knowledge, if you search on the internet, you wil definitely find answers to commercial antivirus products to run on FreeBSD/UNIX/Linux.<br />
i.e:<br />

<p dir="auto">Besides, AV on the firewall is idiotic.  It slows everything down for everyone when you would be better served by putting commercial AV on your LAN clients that require it.</p>

<p dir="auto">No it's not. If you're using a high end firewall with enough power, it will run.<br />
And besides, a lot of commercial UTM appliances also do exactly this: scan inbound traffic to find viruses and malware.<br />
i.e:<br />
<a href="https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/secure-web-gateway.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/secure-web-gateway.aspx</a><br />

I don't think it is idiotic to run security on the first "door". If you don't, your problem… ;-)</p>
