CIPA does not, in fact, require content level inspection. This is something that the vendors of CIPA compliant filters use in their marketing, but it simply isn't true. CIPA requires a best-effort attempt to filter children's access to "harmful material" and the ability for teachers to override the block in the case of overblocking.

Schools in the USA require CIPA level of protection. I know dans guardian does 
support that and maybe squid guard.  Rules would not support that level and 
OPENDNS does not either (dns can be changed with a host file, CIPA requires 
content level inspection.)

Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] How to apply rule on pfsense 1.2.3 to block

Hi,

I'm setting up a firewall for a high school but the school management requested that students should not able to access pornography sites, currently i have enabled any any rule on the WAN and LAN interface of my box.

Is there anyone can help me out in on how to apply a rule that will block students from accessing pornography sites.


That's impossible to do with rules, rules can either allow web access or block 
it, not allow it dependent on content. You need content filtering of some sort, 
OpenDNS's free service is what many users use.
