Webfilter Profile in Community Version.

[katchu]

Hello everyone and OPNsense master,

I've been researching the OPNsense community and am reaching out to inquire about a specific functionality.

In our current company setup, we use a different firewall brand that allows us to create various profiles or policies for web and application filtering designed to different clients. For instance, we have one default policy for all clients with more restrictions on web access and another policy for top management with fewer restrictions.

I've explored the OPNsense community and encountered challenges in replicating this functionality without resorting to third-party plugins like Zenarmor or the commercial edition of OPNsense. I tried to use the web proxy feature, but it lacks the ability to create distinct profiles.

Could you please confirm if OPNsense, with community plugins, has the capability to create different web filtering profiles? I would appreciate your clarification on this matter.

Thank you for your time and engagement in this thread.

Hi,

Of course you can.
most of opnsense firmwares / plugins are derivatives from linux.
what might not covered by the gui, you can always get your hand dirty by using console command.

you can check the manuals about squid and refer to

if you want some fancy gui, you could help to write the code, since this project is opensource.
