PFSENSE WEB FILTER WITH PFBLOCKERNG - Filter Ads and Malicious Websites

Website: openschoolsolutions.org
Twitter: / openschoolz
If you visit an average website today, countless scripts and trackers are loaded. This allows the website operators, Google, Facebook, etc. can collect data about you and track you through the vastness of the internet. Fortunately you don't have to surrender to this hustle and bustle and there are many useful extensions e.g. for the browser (uBlock Origin, uMatrix, etc.). These solutions have the disadvantage that you have to install them on each device and for each browser separately. Therefore, I would like to describe how you can build a pfSense web filter with pfBlockerNG to filter advertising, unwanted content and malicious websites network-wide. This is useful in a home or school network, for example.

    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.

    It is possible, but not easy to implement. It also depeonds how many and what kind of websites do you want to whitelist.

    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?

    Do not “Deny Both”. You will end up blocking legitimate Ip ranges.

    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).
