Checking Squidguard's Adblocking
-
Can someone point me at a source for checking if Squidguard is blocking adds?
I'd also like to know if it is blocking viruses, but don't know a guaranteed way of downloading one. Where would I check to see if any viruses have been discovered?
-
Just go to any website. They all have ads. Do a before & after, with squidguard enabled & disabled. It will be pretty obvious.
As for viruses, squidguard blocks URLs and nothing more. Virus protection is a job for the client, not the firewall.

I set up Squid + SquidGuard according to:-
https://nguvu.org/pfsense/pfSense-proxy-configuration/
but I still see ads. If anyone has this working correctly, can you suggest where to look to see what I may have ommitted?

I find using PFblockerNG DNSBL does a better job of blocking ads.
I know this is not what you asked but it might be another option for you to consider :-)Cheers
