      Hello:

      I could use some assistance. I have a home set-up. My goal is to use VPN client for all my traffic, and use PFblocker, Squid/ClamAV and Snort/Suricata. It either is not possible to use these or most of these packages in one home PFsense box in my price range or with my skill level. I thought of a way it might work and would love professionals to let me know if it will work.

      The set up:

      Modem
      Router with Open VPN Client installed (dd-wrt router)
      PFsense device with the packages listed above.
      Computer

      Would this set-up allow the packages listed to work properly to protect my network while avoiding the complications of using the packages listed with the encryption of the VPN client in one device?

      Any assistance is much appreciated.

        You can use all of those in one pfSense install.

        If you want all of your traffic to use the VPN you set it as the default gateway and traffic from Squid will it also.
