      I have install Pfsense release from scratch and downloaded the packages Squid, Squidgard and lightsquid.
      I have configure and have the proxy server running in transparent mode and have blocked some websites via that and it works, I am able to get lightsquid reports but I have downloaded the black list and configured them from various blacklist sites as directed but have been unable to get it to block the categories and test the redirection - which I have installed a few time now on version 1.2.3 without any problems.
      Is there a trick to getting this to work in version 2.0 release?

        Squidguard work well on PFsense 2.0 release version. Are you sure your configuration is correct and you restart squidguard after some change on categories?

          I've setup a new 2.0 32-bit pfsense box and I plan on using these features. Are you using SquidGuard with the squid or squid3 package?

          I'll try to test squidguard this week and I'll post my results here.

            Well if it is a configuration then I am note sure what to change. Is there any different settings I have to do on this version as I have got it working with version 1.2.3 a few times
            As I said I have loaded Squid 2.7.9_4.2 - SquidGuard 1.3_1 pkg v.1.9  and lightsquid 1.8.2 pkg v.1.5 - I have enabled proxy filter and blacklist and I have downloaded the blacklist and configure it to deny all to start with. This should block everything if I understand this correctly and I am using transparent Proxy.
            What else do I need to configure to test this?

              Same problem, can't make squidguard to work, I'm using pfsense 2.0 Release.

                Hey guy,

                you need to manually add the proxy at the IE option. or use the proxy.pac

                function FindProxyForURL(url,host)
                {
                // variable strings to return
                var proxy_yes = "PROXY 192.168.1.1:3128";
                var proxy_no = "DIRECT";
                    if (shExpMatch(url, "http://192.168.1.231*")) { return proxy_no; } //local server bypass proxy
                  if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "192.168.1.0", "255.255.255.0"))
                    return proxy_yes;
                else
                    return proxy_no;
                }

                  Hi Guys I just want to help you guys with the problem you are having and giving you all the solution that worked for me to upload the Blacklist. I was having the same problem when hitting download nothing happened. Even do I setup correclty the URL under "General Settings", "Blacklist Options" chequed enabled and filled in the Backlist URL "http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz". In my case I found out that Internet Explorer 8 is not working. I tried using Google Chrome, same procedure and everything worked just fine. I did not try any other borwser but for me IE 8 did not work. Hope it works for you guts also.
