I have been using pfSense since last Summer at our Church. IPCop
was recommended, but through some research ended up with pfSense. It
uses Squid and SquidGuard as transparent filter. No need to set a
proxy. I prefer Dansguardian, but pfSense does not run it. Although
you can configure pfSense to route traffic to a Dansguardian box, but
that is a little complex.
pfSense does seem to be rock solid. It runs on BSD, not Linux.
The fire wall is solid, in fact a little to solid at times.
