Firewalling on pfsense
-
Hi, I have installed DNS Blacklist on PfSense and also clicked on the categores which I wanted to block the access to amd restarted the dnsmasq services as required. Inspite of this I can access the sites / categories which I have bloced in DNS Blacklist.
Is there any other settings to be carried out to enable catergorywise website blocking (for eg Online Games & Gambling).

Are your clients using pfSense as their DNS server? Are they using a proxy?
-
no just now pfsense is just used as a gateway and have defined my ISP DNS on pfsense eth2. clients gateway is defined as pfsense system and there is no proxy at the moment.

Well, the DNS blacklist can't work if it's not being used. You need to configure the clients to use the pfSense server as their DNS server.
