That was such a nice explanation of pfblocker-NG and its implementation in pfSense! It was clear and succinct and actually much better than other intros done by native english speakers! Many thanks!
Excellent Video, I am a beginner to pf-sense and your explanations were GREAT, You gave just enough background so I did not get bogged down with items that MAY be relevant, but confusing to a newbie such as myself. After your videos I have my firewall up and running. Thank You
Hi! How are you? My environment runs on top of Active Directory and by default I use the windows server DNS because of this environment. Will the DNS change applied in pfBlocker impact the local network or only when the user goes to the internet? Grateful! Claudiney Alves (Brazil)
can PfSense block connectivity to VPN apps? I notice if I use a vpn on a smartphone, it bypasses any and all dns settings set by the router... My router has an option to force clients to use its DNS settings even if they change it on their device....But.. if they use a vpn app on their device, it completely bypasses the router.
Blocking VPN in general is very difficult. There are many VPN apps, all using different servers, ports and other ways how they connect to the internet. That's why it's almost impossible to block VPN all for all.
@@OpenSchoolSolutions I have a similar issue here. Even though I tried blocking the smartphone device from going to the internet, because the client is using VPN apps still can by bass my pfsense router/firewall.
Great thanks for your video. Its help me to set up the web-filtering module. I need your help to define a rule where i want to allow some websites to my few LAN users & at the same time i don't want to give access of these websites to my few users.
I made a mistake to install pfblockerng instead Devel... then remove and installed Devel version.... Im getting SQlite database missing, Force Reload DNSBL to recover. Do you know how to fix? Yes, I tried Reload, reinstall, restart the services and still same issue. I dont know how to fix the database
Is there a way to block all domains except a few whitelisted domains? I also tried to follow your guide with squid/ and man-in-the-middle method. With squid it seems like I can block all domains with regular expression like (.*) but then none of my whitelisted domains will work. Seems like blacklist > whitelist priority. Any idea?
It is possible to block all website doing this and allow only selected sites?squid guard is ok but ssl certificate kind a pain to install to all machines.
P2P traffic is often encrypted - so it is difficult (almost impossible) to block this kind of traffic. You can use DPI (deep package inspection) to try to filter P2P traffic (e.g. with Snort).

Thank you so much for this video. We're considering changing content filtering solutions during a changeover to pfSense on our routers.

Do not “Deny Both”. You will end up blocking legitimate Ip ranges.
Is there a way to differentiate the blocking for different internal networks (different policies for Wifi Vs Telephones)
