I have had it! Four hours and I cannot get squidguard to block anything

I got it going. The only thing you did different than I was you manually placed the blacklist.gz, where I put the URL into it.

I paid for it. And the my uninstalling / reinstalling used up my four downloads for the damn month in 1 hour! I'm pissed. I also tried doing what you suggested in the video. It didn't work. I don't have the exact same list though I uploaded /var/tmp/shallailist.tar.gz and marked a couple of items and the deny column as well next to it. I assume Default Access (all) has to be checked, just not the deny access to the right of it. Any other tests I can do since I don't have the same blacklist you have.

Nothing blocked. I tried a Domain from shallist affaire18.com, I had BL_dating checked and denied checked. I tried this with Default access [all] checked, Default access [all] deny access both checked and unchecked. I wanted to see if checking Default access [all] deny access on or off made a difference. It didn't make a difference. The domain was viewable in both cases.

I would like to know how to manually install this. I dont think it is installing correct. Often times I have to hit apply three times and the save button to stop service or start it. I have tried everything in these forums and it just will not work.

reinstall pfSense

over the top or new install and import config?

Perry · May 3, 2008, 11:25 PM

I would make a new install and only import a config from before any packages was installed. You don't want any trace of the old SquidGuard install.

The clean reinstall worked. I just redid the whole system. Now my big question is will I be able to import the BlacklistURL.com blacklist without squidguard freaking out? Right now I have the Shallist loaded.

Yes if you copy the list over with winscp. I would also stop Squidguard before hitting the upload button.

This how I did it.

install package squid and squidguard and go to console menu and press 8 to exit console menu.
chown of /var/squid and /var/squidGuard to proxy:proxy (ex. chown -R proxy:proxy /var/squid)
create /download directory
cd /download
pkg_add -r http://62.4.17.14/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/All/wget-1.10.2.tbz
/usr/local/bin/wget http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz ( at least you can see download progress using this way)
click to Service>Proxy Content>General Setting
in Blacklist URL = /download/shallalist.tar.gz

see squidguard1.JPG

click save button
click Upload URL button
click save button (just to make sure)
although it says "SquidGuard service state: STARTED" just click apply button
GOTO Default tab
Follow my example using squidguard2.JPG and squidguard3.JPG or customize as you like but leave Default access [all]
click save
go to ACL tab and create new ACL (click the + button)
for "Source IP Address" put your network address/Masks bit (not ip address) example squidguard4.JPG
for "Destination" –--> customize as you like but leave Default access [all] and click save when finish. (squidguard5.JPG)
go to General Stting tab and click apply button to restart squid (and squidGuard too)

Note: Make sure in Service>Proxy server>Access Control –--> the allow subnet is/are the same with (17) (subnet = network address/Masks bit)

The End

BTW it took me about 3 to 4 months to figure this out by looking here and there in the forum. :)
