In this context, a request related to your message but not actually a reply to it. Benjamin was suggesting that in addition to the Squid and SquidGuard packages that are available on pfSense, he would like to see a DansGuardian<http://dansguardian.org/> package. Benjamin: I was planning to submit a package for it, but due to recent announcements by the project, I will not. The problem is that DansGuardian has a large backlog of fixed bugs that have not been put into a release yet since almost all of the development is done by SmoothWall developers in their spare time (of which they have none). SmoothWall has spun-off DansGuardian3 into a new commercial project and unless the DG2 project becomes more open to the community, it will likely die. (Just check out the commit log on the SourceForge SVN server [link<http://dansguardian.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dansguardian/trunk/?view=log>] and you will see how much development has happened in the last year: 14 commits in 2010, 2 so far in 2011. The last stable release was 05-Jun-2009.) - Y
