![]() ![]() Nxfilter is also another amazing DNS filtering solution, but it isn’t nearly as plug and play as either piHole or pfBlocker NG on pfSense. I’d love something with the ease of use of piHole but the flexibility of pfBlocker NG on pfSense. Some of us are in environments with extremely tight funding having something that requires a bit more finesse (but not that much more, really) is better than not having anything. If you want a true appliance with a seamless user experience then sure the commercial solutions will offer that - for a cost. Linux knowledge is absolutely not needed no more than me needing to know Linux because my Tivo happens to run it under the covers. This business-friendly license applies to NxFilter v4, NxCloud, and their client programs. ![]() You can also include NxFilter v4 in your commercial service. You can build your own product based on it, rebrand it, redistribute it freely, and sell it. I’ve been messing with block lists from various vendors since the 90’s (surf control super scout anyone?) and none are “fire and forget”.Īside from dropping to the command line to update the piHole software itself, everything else is done from inside the GUI. NxFilter v4 can be used for any purpose, including commercial use, without an agreement from us. Meh - you have to monitor any block list. For reference though, beyond using a UTM to block (which isn’t all that great in our mobile device era) you can use a proxy on-site (same mobility issue but leaves the Unifi gear to do what it’s great at), there are some antivirus products that include content filtering (Bitdefender Gravity Zone for example), and there are DNS based products like the aforementioned Umbrella and Webroot (these can suffer the same problem as a UTM or proxy unless you use the agents on endpoints that are mobile). If your provider is using Cisco Umbrella (the commercial version of OpenDNS) then that is usually enough to do some content filtering (although they like to remind their partner service providers that they are primarily a layer of malware/phishing defense and that they shouldn’t be considered the primary content filter). ![]() NxFilter provides a rich set of features and many of them are the ones you only can find in commercial filtering appliances. It is not a personal webfilter or a simple AD blocker. That being said, the Unifi USG line will have more UTM features added during 2019, but you would probably need an XG or maybe Pro to keep enough throughput without the hardware acceleration. NxFilter is a high performance network-wide filtering software designed to be used in an enterprise environment. I regularly use it on P2P but it’s not one of those UTM’s or proxy devices that uses a middle SSL certificate. I have dns resolver set to forward the same exact nextcloud address () to the internal ip address, which works but isn't using the ssl certificate.For the record, Unifi routers do currently have some rudimentary ability to block some traffic/sites based on DPI. This is a problem because when using the nextcloud app on my phone, it'll work fine outside the network but inside it complains that the ssl certificate is incorrect (because only http works inside the network) When you use Globlist you can have only one slave node. So, you can control everything from your master node. All the slave nodes in your cluster share the settings from their master node. Once you have a master node you can add up to 4 slave nodes to your cluster. Monitor all your Websites, SSL Certificates, and Domains from one console and get. NxFilter supports clustering for load balancing and fail-safe. However, on my local network which is behind pfsense, I cannot seem to get dns resolver to give a proper ssl connection to either. Compare Net Nanny VS NxFilter and see what are their differences. I have a Pfsense box that is able to issue/renew acme certificates, with haproxy installed, that has two backend servers that use the generated acme certificate that works fine.įrom outside my local network, going to or works perfectly, it has the secure ssl certificate through haproxy and it correctly either takes you to the mail site or the nextcloud site ![]()
