To work around this, we can download the NxFilter software directly from the NxFilter homepage during the installation script process. ‼️ Challengesīecause the NxFilter software is proprietary, it cannot be built from source and cannot be included directly in a package. ‼️If you have already set up your system to use legacy BIOS, MBR partitons, and ZFS, then do not run this script. To avoid this problem, use UEFI mode if available, use GPT partitions, or use a filesystem other than ZFS. It appears that one of the dependency packages may cause this. Again, using this script on a system with an MBR formatted ZFS root volume will break your system.

WarningThis script will destroy a legacy BIOS system booting from an MBR formatted ZFS root volume see #168. The script is known to work on FreeBSD-based systems, including pfSense, OPNsense, FreeNAS, and more. The project provides an rc script to start and stop the NxFilter service and an installation script to automatically download and install everything, including the startup script. The objective of this project is to develop and maintain a script that installs NxFilter DNS based web filter software on FreeBSD-based systems, particularly the pfSense firewall. Derived from the unifi-pfsense repository.

This is a community subreddit so lets try and keep the discourse polite.A script that installs NxFilter software on pfSense. This subreddit is primarily for the community to help each other out, if you have something you want the maintainers of the project to see we recommend posting in the appropriate category on our Netgate forum.

You can install the software yourself on your own hardware. You can buy official pfSense appliances directly from Netgate or a Netgate Partner. The pfSense project is a free, open source tailored version of FreeBSD for use as a firewall and router with an easy-to-use web interface.
