Limiting and Blocking

[rustydusty1717]

Hello,

We run pfsense at 3 locations, OpenVPN between them. We use OpenDNS to filter our DNS traffic right now, however I would like to find a cheaper alternative, plus speed limit at the same time.

Would Snort be able to filter traffic based on categories and speed limit traffic? We block certain categories to employees and would like to speed limit streaming as well. Specifically youtube and other video streaming.

Would a mixture of Snort and Squid be needed to accomplish both of these?

Any feedback appreciated.
