Lancache on opnsense?
«

Hello all
I have recently started using opnsesne, and are fairly impressed.
It is virtualised on proxmox for now, with hardware passthrough to a quad port NIC. I may get a low power dedicated machine for it soon.
I have managed to replace various containers within proxmox with opnsense plugins.
It is mainly tor &multiple pihole instances, for network adblocking and the other for IOT (in my case my TV).
A mixture of mutliple dns servers, like dnscrypt & adguard helped with this.
Also I have a lancache container on my proxmox server. I hope to place it in the router if practical.
It has two parts as I understand:
A DNS server, which downloads from published lists to modify dns entries (just like in adguard , unbound & dnscrypt).
Instead of blocking, would redirect the appropriate DNS to the second part, which is a caching proxy server.
So neither of these are exceptional.
From here:
https://lancache.net/docs/containers/monolithic/
"Some publishers, including Origin, use the same hostnames we’re replacing for HTTPS content as well as HTTP content. We can’t cache HTTPS traffic however the container is setup to proxy any traffic received on 443 to the destination uncached."
So it is caching proxy server for unencrypted downloads.
From their site, it is debain based docker container, so not appropriate to install directly on opnsense.
Is someone working on a plugin for this?
If so, well we would all need a fair sized SSD.
Another option may be just redirecting port 80 to the server. there is already a proxy server in opnsense that can do this, but are unsure if it is suitable.
If it is practical, opsense would likely become very popular among the gaming community.
Pointers appreciated.
Thanks
