      nice howto!! just tried out with pfs-2.0.2 on alix2d3, works fine as transparent or no transparent mode!!
      this version of DG works:
      http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/dansguardian-2.12.0.2.tbz
      http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/dansguardian-2.12.0.0_2-i386.pbi

      But what about DG within last stable (2.2.2) and brandnew (nightly build from today)? It crashes always (even on first start) with illegal instruction (dansguardian. Illegal instruction (core dumped)) :(
      this version of DG (used in last stable 2.2.2) crashes:
      http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/dansguardian-2.12.0.3_2-i386.pbi

      Is there a way or a trick to get it working properly?

      As fallback, i could stay at 2.0.2…but i would like to use the last release

          some news:
          …seems to be a i386-problem. Just tried on apu1 with amd64-arch, dansguardian seems to work on last stable 2.2.2 version

            Same here. I just:

            • Upgraded to pfSense 2.2.2-RELEASE

            • Installed squid 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.6

            • Installed DansGuardian 2.12.0.3_2 pkg v.0.1.12

            DG crashes straight away. :'(

              Looks like Dansguardian isn't supported anymore with the latest PFSense build.  A new Package E2Guardian (an updated fork of Dansguardian) is in the works.  Check out https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=87526.0

                @Chewy:

                There is a tick box in the squid configuration page that is marked "Transparent Proxy" and promises to redirect everything automagically for you, it doesn't work for a DG set up in my experience.

                The Transparent Proxy box does work …. the issue is that it sends it to squid not DG .... so it bypasses DG but squid proxy is set up that easy
