Checking Squidguard's Adblocking

[Balanga]

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 :-)
