      I am seriously considering switching from Squid/Squid Guard to pfBlockerNG. Does anyone have any pointer or things to watch out for when do this?

      Here is all the things I can think of that I need to do before switching:

      • Remove Host Overrides
      • Flush the Squid Cache first
      • Remove squid related firewall rules
      • Remove/backup all WPAD files
      • Remove "Additional BOOTP/DHCP Options"
      • Remove Lightsquid
      • Save a copy of my advanced .conf files in SquidClam
      • Remove /var/unbound/forcegoogle.conf
      • Remove: Services/DNS/Resolver/General Settings
 “server: include: /var/unbound/forcegoogle.conf”

      2.6.0-RELEASE

        Squid doesn't add any overrides AFAIK, and its rules are hidden and removed automatically.
