      Hi
      I want to run multiple dansguardian instance to use in different firewall rules.
      How can i do it? Can i do it with a single instance and dansguardian configuration file?
      Thanks in advance

        Really can't answer that question until you describe what you are trying to accomplish…

          You can create acls based on ips.

          AFAIK,  I see people using dansguardian with two squid  instances but two dansguardian on the same machine,  I have never used.

            i want to use policy based content filtering and apply my policy in firewall rules (like l7 traffic shaping in pfsense).

              there isn't ip based acls  in pfsense ui.  there is only Exception IP list.

              Can you try to include other dansguardian groups and then access Ips tab?

                  When you create a group, you can associate sites, urls acls with it.

                  Did you selected ip address authentication on dansguardian general tab?

                    i selected ip address auth. but how it works? in a group, you can associate site, url, .. but ip address ranges can not be associated.

                      I can't remember which tab it is on, but you can associate IP's and IP Ranges with groups.

                          Have you tried clicking, I don't know, the tab that is clearly labeled "IPs"?

                            it is exception ip list and Default dansguardian filtergroup. i want to associate ip range for a group differently.

                              It lists configured groups. If you don't have a configured group, it won't show up there. Configure a group, and go to the IPs tab.

                                  Same answer, different understanding  :)
