Pfsense as standalone proxy

[eganay]

Hello there,

I have a dhcp and an internet router that I can't change.
I may be able to change the dhcp settings if necessary.

My question is
I'd like to use pfsense + squid + squidgard as a standalone proxy on my lan.

How can I setup pfsense to do this ? (no nat, transparent, no dhcp…)
How can I pass the information of using this proxy to the 180 workstations (not manually of course) ?

I read some wikis and howto, but I don't really understand how to do this...

Thank you for your help,
Edd

pfSense in its current form is not an appropriate stand-alone squid box.  You'd be better served installing squid and squidGuard stand-alone for now.

ok,

What I forgot to mention is, I'm anticipating the change of our internet line, and might need a decent firewall instead of routers installed now.
And I like the package approach of pfsense.

is it possible to use pfsense now as squid/squidgard, and after use is a firewall/router ?

My main problem is that I cannot setup pfsense as a NATrouter for the moment, but I'd like to force traffic from workstations to go through pfsense to filter/av/monitor what's going on my network.

is that possible ?

Any hint from where to start ?
