      I am trying to get squidGuard to show block pages and having issues possibly because of the way I have setup pfSense.

      I am using pfSense as single interface filtering server and have turned off the firewall.

      When squidGuard  attempts to load  a block page, it is using the localhost address(127.0.0.1) and I need it to use the WAN IP address that is not shown in the /etc/hosts file.

      I am also not using an external DNS server, so have not enabled the local DNS forwarder under services. Some posts suggest using a override in Services/DNS Forwarder.(But I am not using this service) Is there a different way to get the /etc/hosts file edited

      I have also tried editing the squidguard_configurator.inc file ensure the WAN IP address is used. This is still not working and perhaps masking the issue that it is trying to the localhost ip address from hosts file?

      Can anyone offer any advice on this?
