Hi to all the community I hope to make some new friends over here. I want to do a project for a DNS server to filter content ... Yes I come from Linux but I'm slowly leaving that OS behind because it has become too popular and I don't trust it's security anymore. I always wanted to become a FreeBSD guy but my job took me the other way. I have some VPS around the globe that I can use for testing porpouses. What would you recomend? This DNS FreeBSD server that I want to set up for content filtering would have around 100.000 users (Is not that much right). Where would you guys recomend me to start?

Thanks in advance
 
You are not the only one: "I always wanted to become a FreeBSD guy but my job took me the other way."
Still I won't give up and keep using FreeBSD :cool:

About your DNS idea, do you want to allow everything by default and filter based upon a list or do you want to selectively allow?
 
Hi anark1a and welcome
for basic filter you have PF + BIND and SQUID (squid filtering https pages)
today filtering only http for the users is a waste of time,today 80% of the webpages use https
with PF you have a lot of options to play
 
For small office is ok to use Software based Firewall + Web Filtering Proxy. But when your network grow you need to switch to hardware based solution of NG Firewall. As i don't want to advertise any company here on the forum just search for Top 10 NG firewalls and pick a solution that meet your Network requirements.
