      Hi guys,

      I am trying to block everything except Google drive/sync. It is not letting me include wildcard entries in alias field. Is there a simple solution using which I can accomplish this.

        It sounds like you want no connection to anything and you want to only whitelist Google Drive/sync? Perhaps that's a better way to put it than block everything?

        Squidguard might be able to do that. I am only a little familiar with squid, but have never used squidguard. I don't know if it's the right tool for the job but someone with better knowledge of it might chime in.

        Edit, actually after thinking about this a little, you might be able to create an alias with all the google domains listed here

        Then create a pass rule for that alias on your LAN. By default if you have no rules everything will be blocked anyway. So that one rule might be enough. This assumes your pfSense is not providing any other services to your LAN such as DNS, DHCP or anything else.
