      The network I'm working at requires blocking any device (desktop, laptop, phone) from accessing certain websites like Facebook, YouTube, etc., but without modifying the settings on the devices. So, the question is how to block sites without having to use a proxy server in pfsense or third-party services?
      Thanks,

        Your only other real option is DNS based filtering. You can do that using DNS-BL in pfBlocker-ng.
