        Take a look at Squid with SquidGuard.

              1. Do a full install of pfSense

              2. Install the Squid package - read the Squid documentation

              3. Install the SquidGuard package - read the SquidGuard documentation

              If having completed all of that you're having problems, then post back.

                thanks, will try it ASAP. BTW, i don't need proxy in client right? Cause i don't wanna change in client, just make default on server.

                Thank you..

                  You HAVE to have the clients use the proxy - otherwise how do you expect the proxy to stop the traffic?

                  If you don't want to change the clients then you'll need to configure Squid as a transparent proxy.  If you're unsure how to do this search the forum.

                    i already installed and tested squidguard and it working fine. Now i can block domain base on time, without setting proxy in the client. Tq for your help….
