HAVP Setup Questions

Hi all,

I decided to install this package but not quite understanding it

1. Can I use transparent proxy mode without Squid package?

I want to have all http traffic scanned but I don't want to have to setup my clients for this and transparent mode sounds like what I want but I am confused by some of the comments in the settings such as "works as parent for squid…etc."

thanks, it seems to be working the way I intended.

my pfsense box is a dell poweredge 1750 with dual xeon and 4 GB of RAM and Intel Pro/1000 GT nics.

right now my plans are for only HAVP and Snort packages.

Cable broadband ISP with 40 Mb down 5 Mb up.

Will that box be sufficient?

I think enough.
