Setup Squid as a Transparent Proxy. Monitoring Internet Usage With LightSquid and pfSense. Configuration LightSquid is very easy to configure, the default installations options are perfectly sufficient.
At the very least I would recommend setting the refresh cycle to something reasonable for your needs. Traffic shaping using PfSense in bridged mode. Scenario: We needed an in-line, transparent traffic shaping solution.
The solution we chose was pfsense due to it’s easy to use UI and effective QoS. The PfSense had to be placed in bridge mode, on a link that was carrying tagged traffic. It is important that the PfSense did not touch the vlan tagging, it was only to rate-limit the traffic. The first step was to bridge the two interfaces.
