      Hello Everyone,

      pfSense Version: 2.1.3-RELEASE (i386)
      Package Installaed: Squidguard 1.4_4 pkg v.1.9.6

      I'm having issue setting up the Squidguard for first time in our pfSense.  So far the things I've done so far is:

      • Download Squidguard package

      • Enable Squidguard

      • Enable Blacklist and enter http://squidguard.mesd.k12.or.us/blacklists.tgz under URL and save

      • Download Blacklist under blacklist tab

      • Clicked Common ACL Tab after successful blacklist download but there is only "Default Access [ALL]" under ACL

      I've tried searching only for similar issue but I'm still struggling to find a resolution.  I would appreciate any kind of advice…  I need to get this running for security concerns.

      Thank you

        Were you working with the Blacklist tab, or the Blacklist Options under the General tab?

          I'm sorry, I've meant to say the Blacklist options under the General Tab.

            Go to the Blacklist tab and pump in your URL and then click Download.  I had to do both to get the list to appear.

              I've already tried out that step under (4) but should I try it out again for second time?

                When I went to simulate your problem, I first went to the Blacklist tab and manually updated.  From there, the ACL list was empty, so I went to the Blacklist Options section and filled it in.  Oh, did you go back to the General tab and click Save then Apply?  It's funny like that sometimes.

                  Hello KOM,

                  Thank you for your help and I'm sorry about the delay in response.  I've tried going over your steps but I still cannot locate any ACL with exception of Default Access.  I'm not sure what else I'm missing.  I've initially tried following steps shown on h$$p://hubpages.com/hub/URL-Filtering-How-To-Configure-SquidGuard-in-pfSense# but it's not working on my side.  Do I need to download any other package besides squidguard?

                    Sorry for my mistake, I did not know that I needed to download squid package as well.  After download and small configuration on proxy server, I was able to pull up a list of ACL under proxy filer service.  However, It seems like I cannot apply the change for ACL as error shown below:

                      I'm on vacation this week so my responses are spotty too.  Yes, SquidGuard relies on Squid.  You may have a broken install if you installed Squid after SquidGuard.  Perhaps you should uninstall everything and then try again, in the proper sequence.

                        Thank KOM and sorry to interrupt you again.  I've taken backup file before this so I will go ahead and try that out.

                        Thanks!

                            Start a new thread with the exact details of your problem instead of hijacking an ancient thread.

                              Locking this.

                              If you're still running that pfSense and Squidguard version you have bigger problems but I highly doubt you are. 😉
