Block Sites
-
I want to block a site in pfsense lets say www.facebook.com.
I have install the package Squid and Squidguard.
Configure it and services ON.But when i go to the cliente still have facebook active.
I have some questions. if i put the www.facebook.com it say not a valid url, only accect if i put / in the end. Plus if i put https:// dont accept either. I try do block for words and cant to.What i'm doing wrong ?
PS 1: Using Virtualbox for testing, and Ubuntu 15.04 as a cliente tester
PS 2: I'm configuring via firefox in the cliente and test in the same computer/browser. -
to block http use squid3 to filter and squidGuard to block they work hand and hand. To block HTTPS sites the easy way to block using pfBlockerNG using the hurricane list finding facebook IP and then using cron to update the list or you can do it manually every 3-6 months. Also make sure after installing squid3 reboot the machine then configure squid correctly then move on to squidGuard make sure the services are activated. Also clean the cache of the browser or clean all the history just to make sure.

pfBNG is indeed one of the different ways to achieve this. However, using HTTP proxy still remains, IMO, the most suitable solution if goal is to control web access. pfBGN works at DNS level (and FW) which has some advantages but also potentially drawbacks.

Configure it and services ON.You do need to provide more details about what you did here:
e.g. if you configure Squid as transparent proxy (without MITM), there is no way you could control HTTPS flow and therefore prevent users accessing some sites. -
Thanks all for the replys :-)
I'll try that and lets se if that work :)Best Regards :-)
