Sounds like a good application for squid. As for content filtering I'm
personally not concerned about the kids being on porn sites. I see no
harm in it. I'm more concerned on the amateur sites that may contain
virus. It was more an exercise of learning the pfSense software and the
packages and all there features.

Thanks - I'll give that a try.
In this context, it's basically a method of caching things like
Windows / Apple updates for an IT company, especially when there are 4
or 5 engineers all working on clients' machines simultaneously. Little
point in downloading the same update for each machine over a ~2Mbps
ADSL connection :-)
As for as SquidGuard I highly recommend it. The content filtering has
been unstoppable in our home. I challenged the kids to break it and so
far they've been stopped dead on all their typical porn sites. LOL
I'm far from convinced that censoring content is ever the answer, but
that's an argument for another thread (and ultimately, your house,
your rules :-) ).
Kind regards,
Chris
