          You can't filter HTTPS traffic this way.  Facebook and most bigsites these days use HTTPS, and to filter that you need either manual proxy configuration for your clients, or transparent Squid with SSL certs installed on all your clients.  Messy either way.

            If we had true Layer7 in PFsense then you could block them on the word "facebook" alone….
