            You have another, simplier way to block MSN, read this:

              It's hardly simpler.  In fact, your method requires the installation of many packages, some of which are problematic.  This approach is much simpler, requiring a few squid ACLs.  Incidentally, there are a number of posts on the squid support mailing list talking about using squid to filter various IM clients.  They're all very detailed and helpful.

                Hello “submicron”

                “submicron”, as a Packages Moderator,  I think I only now have understand your point. The problem, is that I have been blind and stupid till now, and haven’t already seem a so simple ting.

                You told  “installation of many packages”, and this are the key words! Only now I understood the key word: 5 packages are “many”
                Pf sense does not support the installation of several (“many”) packages, and I was trying to do that. So, in conclusion, I should not try to install so many packages, and I should install fewer, might one or two in maximum.

                Anyway, PFSense is still a good firewall and Thank you for information. I have been blind and stupid.

                It would be nice that we could install a minimum set of packages that could transform PFSense in a true and decent firewall, doing some cache (Squid ) at the same time we had some evidences that the tings were working (Lightsquid ). I thought that I was not trying to install nothing special…. (like Dashboard, LCDproc, Zabbix, Spand nider (even) Snort))

                Anyway, PFSense is still a good firewall and Thank you for information. I have been blind and stupid.

                Regards.
