Pfsense transparent web filter with squad
-
dear all,
I ve followed this guide http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=50711.0 and I managed to setup my machine as transparent firewall/bridge.
I have an internet gateway 192.168.1.1 on the wan I have my pc on the lan and I have access to internet as I should.So far so good. Now I try to setup pfsense with squad but with no success.All the traffic passes through without being filtered.
I set proxy to bind to lan (also tried with OPT1 interface) "I checked allow users on interface" and "transparent proxy".
I set filter to block ALL ACCESS but with no result.My only computer can have full access to any site. Could you please have a look to my screenshots to advice what I ve done wrong?THX IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME

Squid in transparent mode cannot work with a bridged/transparent firewall setup.

You cannot. What you're trying to do is just not possible with pfSense.

Hi jimp,
Thx for your replies.Having a network of pcs and a router on the same network please advice me which is the best configuration so as pfsense to be used.I don't need to set it up as a firewall nor as something else. All I need is to install a pfsense appliance between my network and the router so as to have a transparent web filtering without the need of ip changes on my network. Why wan port has to be on different ip rage than nat's ? If it is impossible please advice for the best alternative solution
thx in advance
