Pfsense is a FreeBSD based Open source security distribution. Pfsense is basically using as a gateway device (firewall and router). But it can be expandable as many Server services like DNS, DHCP, Proxy Servers. Here I is the step by step procedure to install a Pfsense based Proxy server. Download pfSense CD from here Write The ISO file to a CD and boot from pfSense CD. Select “n” if you don’t have a Vlan setup Sigh Lan and wan Interface It will automatically asign 192.168.1.1 for the lan interface. Set Lan IP Address select option 2 and enter your lan IP, it will ask for subnet, you have to enter subnet as bit counters Eg 255.255.255.0 = 24 255.255.0.0 = 16 255.0.0.0 = 8 It will also prompt for set this server as a DHCP server. If you want to set this server as a DHCP server select “y”. If you are using static ips for client pcs just select “n” After applying the LAN IP address, you can access the pfSense web interface using http protocol Eg: Install pfSense to a hard drive / memory Select option “99” to install pfsense to your local media. It will start installation in first setp and ask some settings to change video font screenmap keymap etc. Select “” for default settings Now select “” System will prompt for a confirmation If you press It will erase all data from first HDD So make sure that u have data backups if necessary Select multiprocessing kernel Reboot the server when it prompt Initial configurations in web interface Now go to web interface It will ask for user id and password Default user id and passwords for pfsense server as follows User: admin Password: pfsense On this screen you will set the General pfSense parameters. Add hostname, and domain name, Primary and Secondary DNS server in this screen, here I used to improve security, you can give your DNS Eg: 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220 Time Server Information Enter your time server name and Timezone and click next Configure the Wide Area Network information If your internet connection is based on DHCP, click next. No changes required in this area. If your internet connection with a static IP or a PPPoE / PPTP you can configure details in this window. Configure LAN Interface We already assigned an ip address for lan from the terminal itself. Click next if there is no change. Set Admin WebGUI Password Set your administration password for web interface management. ![]() Currently we entered with default password. It is strongly recommend to change the password now itself. Reload Click ‘Reload’ to reload pfSense with new changes. If you changed the password, pfSense will ask you to log in again. This will take some time to reload automatically. You can use the same ip url to reload quickly. Install Squid Go to System > packages, it will load all the supported packages, Select squid and click “+” button Squid package and its dependencies will be automatically installed in this server Executing custom_php_resync_config_command()done. Writing configuration done. Starting service. Installation completed. All tracked packages (224); Complete. Apt-offline-gui 1.8.1. Console-setup-freebsd-charmaps-udeb 1.188. Dino-im-common 0.0.git20181129-1. I will click on the Plus sign + next to the Squid3 package to install it. Now I will go to the Reverse proxy after I check if it's installed on the Services Menu Now we will have to export the Certificate from our Exchange and import it to the Certificate store in Pfsense. Please check to make sure that the package is configured from the respective menu then start the package. Now squid is installed and basic Server is ready to work as a proxy, by default no one can use this proxy. Access control system should configure for Allowed subnets, Go to Services > Proxy Server > Access Control and add Allowed subnets. You can add ips or subnets. Separate entries with space. Basic blacklisting / white listing is possible in this configuration window Eg: 192.168.1.0/24 Now squid will serve all sites to 192.168.1.0 network. By default squid is running on tcp port 3128 Configure your client proxy settings with your server ip and 3128 port Eg IP address 192.168.1.0 Port: 3128 For an advanced Proxy Server it is required Standard blacklists and reporting features. Squid Guard and Squid reporting packages are available for Pf Sense. My next article is about How to 2010-12-02. Download inazuma eleven go. Goodmorning Sebastian. I have the guide but I still have some question if you can help. I am trying to setup the pfsense on my job but I have some defaults conditions that cannot be change. My IP range is 10.169.92.1 up 95.255, mask 255.255.252.0 and cannot be changed my router has internal ip 10.169.92.1 and we don’t have access to the machine, my head department has but is a bit tricky situation I installed pfsense on a machine set lan interface at 10.169.92.30 and left wan network at DHCP type. I need to connect with a crossover or normal UTP cable from wan card to the router? Then i am going to follow your instructions on setting up the squid, as we need a proxy server. Thanks for any answers, and sorry if I made any mistakes since my native language is Greek.
