Hi,
First, sorry for the provocative title of my post, but it got your attention, isn't it? :-)
I'm looking for something like this: https://github.com/teffalump/adblock
Which is incredible easy to handle.
I know there is Squid, but it's not as easy to handle as the referred above, I think, or do i miss something?
Many thanks!
There is a how to in the docs about filtering using the proxy:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/proxywebfilter.html
Yes, thanks, I saw that too, but this makes the use of Proxy settings neccessary, right? I don't want to touch the clients. I just want OPNsense to filter. Do I misunderstand?
You must use transparent proxy
Thanks, will try that. Do I need to do follow step 6, too?
I think this is not the right how to for you. :)
@Fabian can you tell more about transparent proxy? Is this the right howto for his claims?
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/proxytransparent.html
A transparent proxy does not need any configuration on the client.
When the proxy runs in transparent mode, depending on your configuration, any connection to port 80 (HTTP) and / or 443 (HTTPS) will be redirected to the proxy by a firewall rule.
OPNsense has a template for those rules, so you just have to click the link in the help texts.
In case you enable the transparent mode, step 6 in the Web Filtering How To is not required.
Instead you should use the link DokuKäfer provided.
Regards
Fabian
Many thanks for your help! I will test it and report back (just to complete this thread).
It works, but it is not as elegant as the solution I was referring to.
