1) What happens if I enable two filter lists, for example UT1 and Shalla?
Do I improve the filter or do they conflict with each other?
Already now I have activated UT1 and Yoyo Ads Blacklist
But when I have disabled both, the porn sites are reachable, but an online newspaper always appears without any advertising and instead I am sure that they have published dozens of banners.
Obviously I'm testing on different browsers, without local cache and in "private" mode.

2) Can I customize the filter message page?

3) Is there a list of blocked URLs and who has accessed them?

4) Can I differentiate accesses? For example, Marketing can access all websites, everyone can access institutional sites, nobody can access porn sites.

5) Can I install SARG or is there already something like this as a plugin?

6) I see two buttons with the same name, which is the difference between the two?
See screenshot in attach.

Nothing is filtering: porn, advertising, ...
Yet I downloaded and selected the categories and I did the download at least a dozen times.
What little was initially filtered was for PC level filters.

In addition to the initial questions, I wonder what it can verify to understand why it is not working.


You simply have too many questions (each should get its own post)

not sure on this but probably they conflict

That would be Access log.

Quote4) Can I differentiate accesses?.
I wrote a post on how to manually do this https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=16171.0
you can also use a third party plugin

this is probably a bug (report it), this is how it should look, well at least for me
