Guide to Squid Web Filtering SSL,MITM, DNS and Caching with pfSense 2.8.1
-
I decided to update my guide for web filtering for pfSense 2.8.1. As it is a long and detailed guide i have made it into a PDF
Guide to Squid Web Filtering SSL,MITM, DNS and Caching with pfSense 2_8_1.zip
Download the and unzip the file.The guide will include
- Install Squid Proxy, SquidGuard and Lightsquid
- Setup Non Transparent Squid Proxy
- Install WPAD package
- WPAD config
- DHCP WPAD discovery
- DNS WPAD discovery
- Setup squidGuard
- Setup caching
- DNS filtering
- Firewall rules
- Testing
- Setup Lightsquid
While there is always multiple ways to do things here is my current way to set it up. More advanced setups can be built on top of this guide.
Do be aware that pfSense has deprecated the squid package and it may be removed from pfSense at some point.
Suggestions and improvements are welcomed.
I will update the guide when improvements are found. -
