      Hi

      I look for way to block all streaming audio/video (soundcloud, youtube, dailymontion, soptify...) in my local network, even though a user change his primary DNS Server, to 8.8.8.8

      i think to Squid , but it is possible to install him with Openvpn , to make user connect remortly to my network from his home ?

      Thank you

        Snort and enable the application id rule.

          You can install pfBlockerNG-devel and configure it for blocking these categories on Firewall \ pfBlockerNG \ DNSBL \ DNSBL Category page:

          then configure DNS redirection fw rule to redirect all DNS queries to pfSense:

            @viktor_g thanks!
            Is it possible to schedule it?

            I mean:
            I need to stop stream sites (twitch.tv and others) in the morning!!

            Thanks,
            Alex

              Because they offer bad quality only in the morning ?

              ( edit : I guess I do not understand the question )

              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
              Edit : and where are the logs ??
