Help with pfSense Squid/SquidGuard filtering

[Sephiroth]

Hi all,

 

I'm hoping someone with a bit of pfSense savvy can give me a hand here...

 

I've been using pfSense as a firewall and gateway solution at home for a while now, and so was the obvious choice for filtering now that my kids are getting to 'that stage'. Particularly as there are lots of disturbing things on the internet.

 

I've got Squid set up to be a transparent proxy and everything is still working, and I've got SquidGuard running and have set up some category filters there. Problem is that I can either filter all devices or none. There seems to be no differentiation between devices. I know that I can turn off transparent filtering and point clients that I want to be filtered to the proxy, but I'd like at least 2 different levels of filtering, so that won't really help me.

 

What I want to be able to do is to have devices put into groups by Squid, based on subnet/ip range and authenticated user (probably AD; possibly RADIUS, I think I can figure that out, though I've only glanced at it so far) to get the categories for filtering depending on the order of groups, much the same as I do with my Smoothwall UTM at school.

 

I'm open to the idea that this may not be possible, though I hope it is. With any luck it's just me being a blind idiot!

 

Thanks in advance!

Great thanks. I'll have a proper look when I get home.
