Proxy Categories

[nixpal]

I was trying OPNsense, and when I open the proxy blocked list, I never see the categories part I only see URL and description and file name , but no categories...

that's why when I press download and apply I never get any categories, is it only available for paid version ?

There is no paid version, it has likely to do with the file you are trying to import.

Do you mind sharing the URL with us so we can take a look?

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/proxywebfilter.html

on the docs page, if you take a look at the that picture, you will see there is a categories(if available) before even pressing OK or Save or anything, I don't have that part of Categories.


and this is the link from the page : ftp://ftp.ut-capitole.fr/pub/reseau/cache/squidguard_contrib/blacklists.tar.gz

I installed it again, and same thing. I'm clicking on Download ACLs&Apply it just loads for 1 minute and nothing happen..

Have you after Download ACLs open the Web Filter entry again (cklick on edit)?

I have tested in my VM and all works fine.
Are you sure your OPNsense can reach the Blacklist-URL?

Oh i think you are not on Version 16.1.6

Please upgrade to 16.1.6 and you have the categories field  ;)

[nixpal]

I will make sure I'm on the right version. :)

[nixpal]

I upgraded and it's working now :) .. Thanks.

Have you specified the Proxy in Firefox or IE Settings on the Clients?
Here a Screenshot of Firefox (german version) where you can find the settings:

[nixpal]

yes it's working as a proxy, the traffic management is working fine, but it's just the web filtering not working.

This is likely the same issue as just discussed with gitdevmod: https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/824
