      Hi Guys,

      I have an Untangle box in bridge mode behind pfSense, the former does all the content filtering, and now  the school has new access policy to allow only a few people to have web access. It can't be done using Untangle unless I avail of 'Policy Manager' which is a paid service, I've tried blocking via a rule I created but it doesn't work because I suppose pfSense is seeing the request coming from Untangle instead of the client ip. How would I be able to implement this via pfSense? What special configuration if any I have to do? As last resort I'm thinking of removing the Untangle and leave it all to pfSense but the latter wouldn't be able to do protocol control just yet, I wish v2.0 is production ready already.

      TIA.

        The requests shouldn't look like they are coming from untangle. Are your clients using pfSense as their gateway?

          pfSense is the default gateway, Untangle in bridge mode has no firewall and just do content filtering.
