Filtering HTTPS / SSL Traffic on pfSense 2.1 using Squid Proxy
-
I haven't paid it much attention as I don't need a heavy content filter, just a simple URL filter. Others have likened it to a substitute for DansGuardian but I have no knowledge of that.

Updated the guide for pfSense 2.3 and web safety 4.4 - http://docs.diladele.com/tutorials/filtering_https_traffic_squid_pfsense/index.html

Question, Can I filter HTTPS traffic but not at all websites? For example, we could open websites for bank but we couldn't open social networks?
Thanks,

Hate to say but not in pfSense version :( In pfSense SSL filtering settings are managed by PfSense's Squid GUI. In Linux version there are two modes - bump all or filter targeted. And it is also possible to bump by categories - i.e. never bump banks
