I want to use pfsense on my future projects,

I know content filtering should be done at

in order to get less maintenance.
Depending on exactly what type of content
filtering you're talking about, this is not
likely to mix well with embedded systems. Not enough CPU power there.
Yep, I aggree. I just intend to do url filtering
by text and access control by site.
My idea is have some content filtering package
to do the logs via syslog on a remote machine.
huh? Not sure what you mean, maybe you can clarify.
Sorry for that. I know it sounded odd. It's just
that I use the content-filtering software to do
some access statistics as well, so I tought it
could log the accesses via syslog on another
machine and have it processed there. What I mean
is to have several firewall boxes (with content
filtering and access logs) logging to a central server.
I think squid could be used for that. Just
configuring it to filter and make no cache on the
local hard drive, or maybe a PCI memory card for
the caching. Can squid write the logs via network by itself?
Besides, what is the proper environment / way
for developing pfsense? I need to have the
interfaces translated and rearranged...
probably http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=VMWareDevelopersEdition
Thanks again, I will use that.
I noticed that the GUI commands/descriptions are
built in the phps. This can make translation a
hassle. Perhaps we could make a language hash and use variables instead?
