      Hi,

      I have just install the pfblockerng on my latest version of pfsense.  as i see it, i am drown on many options and i dont know where to start.

      basically, all i want to do is to block certain website on selected users.

        I think squid and squidguard package are the preferred package for this purpose. Do a web search on blocking websites using squid.

        Another option For blocking for all users by web categories, such as gambling, I use OpenDNS dns servers and create a free account to block categories and specific domains for one site I support. When someone goes to a blocked site, they get a HTML page with a message and the option to request the site be unblocked. An email is then sent to me.
