      Hi again,

      OK - just to rule out any issues with my pfsense box, I've installed and configured squid on the same server as Dansguardian.  Now - when configuring dansguardian as a proxy in my browser, this works.  But, I still want to redirect all tcp/80 connections via my firewall towards dansguardian (tcp/8080).

      I've created a NAT rule as attached to this post…but, when this is enabled web browsing stop working...are there any faults in my NAT rule ?

      squid and dansguardian are uninstalled on my pfsense box.

        These services were not running on the same box?
        Why do people do this to themselves?

          Yeah.  Thats how mine looks except I would expect redirect target IP to be 192.168.1.1, not .9

          "squid and dansguardian are uninstalled on my pfsense box"

          I hope you meant installed…

            @kejianshi: all services was installed on one box - dansguardian didn't work at all.

            So, I installed squid and dansguardian on a separate server, which is working if i configure proxy-settings in my web browser.  But, I don't want to do it this way - I want to redirect the traffic so the user can't affect web traffic without even get more creative that they already are (teenages in the house).

            So yes - i uninstalled squid and dg on my pfsense box.

            Now - when trying to redirect the traffic (tcp/80) to my dg-box (192.168.1.9:8080) i created that rule…but it doesn't work...

              To me it sounds like something on your pfsense box got seriously screwed up and that maybe the answer is reinstall that box clean then cleanly add in your packages and rules.

                I guess I'd have to agree… When setup properly, DQ/Squid works fine on pfSense. I've done this build dozens of times with no issue...
