Title: Missing web filter menu
Post by: MiMarGa on February 24, 2020, 10:47:12 am

I'm just going to use Optnsense 20.1,

there are several tutorials on youtube using web filters, but in my place, the web filter menu doesn't exist.

where can i find the web filter menu in opnsense OPNsense 20.1?

What do you mean with web filter? This: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/proxywebfilter.html

Just open the tab 'Remote Access Control Lists' like described.

Like the title of the videos say 'Web Filter Plugin', you need to install this plugin. I never saw this menu entry in Core installation. Maybe you should watch part 1/2 of web filter plugin and see where to get and how to install it.

Edit:

I just googled 'web filter plugin opnsense' and hard to believe, but the first hit was https://github.com/cloudfence/opnsense-webfilter-community-plugin. And I don't think it is a co-accident that the videos was from cloudfence and the plugin either  ;D
