Title: [SOLVED] Web Filtering
Post by: RobbieBott on January 26, 2016, 07:19:57 am: I am completely new to opnsense I am looking for a Sophos UTM alternative considering they have completely screwed up their latest offering with the release of SFOS. UTM version 9 is still great but I'm sure will be going 6ft under here shortly.

I don't see a web filter in version 15 (am I missing it?), Will version 16 have a web filter?

Pasting a list in "Access Control Lists" works, but it's picky as in each line needs to end with a comma.
There is also a "Remote Access Control Lists" feature in squid, but I have no idea which list formats it accepts.
Supposedly, lists like these should work: http://dsi.ut-capitole.fr/blacklists/download/

Post by: RobbieBott on January 27, 2016, 07:14:51 pm: How do I get squid installed? Then will it be configured through the opnsence GUI or through some other way? In pfsense it has a package area to install that however I do not see that in version 15, is the "plugins" coming in 16 going to be like "packages" in pfsence?

The proxy (squid) is installed by default and can be managed using the gui, just go to services->proxy server.

Exactly. Since FreeBSD has always had binary packages we decided to call the actual GUI-enhanced packages "plugins" to avoid the confusion.

Squid proxy, Suricata IPS and OpenVPN client export are already embedded into our the default version.
