First, I'd like to introduce ourselves, Northshore Network Solutions is a small group of small business consultants who work with a lot of schools. Unable to find a solution that worked for us when it came to content filtering with pfSense, we decided to write our own using node.js.
We have spent a lot of time over the last few months working on this, We have built the application as well as created a pfSense package, it is finally at a stage where we would like to get some testing in. This is intended to be a commercial product, as we have to pay a commercial service for the URL/Domain categorization, as well as we intend to support our software. The package has options for filtering by DNS or through an HTTP & HTTPS proxy server. You can filter by category or through blacklists and whitelists for specific urls, content types or file patterns, the proxy also includes support for things like enforcing safe searches with Google/Yahoo/Bing, as well as support for YouTube for schools. Users can be identified by IP or through authentication via local user or Active Directory credentials. Policies can be applied to both users and groups. Authentication and block pages are fully customizable. Documentation is a little sparse at the moment but we will be working on that over the next few weeks. Please feel free to contact us with any questions etc, you can install a demo of our code on any amd64 based pfsense install. you can find out more by going to www.northshoresoftware.com Thanks, Adam Snodgrass, Development Lead, Northshore Network Solutions [email protected]
