I have installed squid proxy server and filter configured it to transparent proxy. Have not configured any Target Categories. When the users browse the internet some pages are giving the error

Request denied by pfSense proxy: 403 Forbidden

Client address: 192.168.100.206
Client name: 192.168.100.206
Client group: default
Target group: none
URL: http://www.shallalist.de/

Under General Options - Target Rules, click the + sign the white circle to expand the Target Rules List.

Go down to the very bottom and change Default access [all] = Deny to Allow.

IIRC the default squidguard config is to block all until you edit the Target Rules of the Common ACL.

How do you go about that, am new to pfsense
