      I am new user for pfsense and I do not know if this a suitable place for my question or not.

      Any way I install pfsense community edition on a VM environment and internet is work on test PC ( after a lot of trails on last trail I add IP manually on test PC and include my DNS server in it ) but site blocking is not working, I try all sources I know but I fail.
      My first question is there are ready site lists like FortiGate for example I can click on Facebook from the list and it block it ??
      My second question I need help to block a website like Facebook or YouTube ??

        No, there is no select from an existing list style like that.

        The closest to that would be using an alias created from the ASN in pfBlocker.

        See: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/block-websites.html

          Snort does a good job of blocking sites. I turned on Blocking and Amazon Prime Video and TiVo both stopped working. It's a little tricky to unblock them but I got it done.

              Unfortunately, Amazon Prime Video still wasn't cooperating so I had to disable blocking altogether. Here is a link to the documentation. Snort Pass Lists
