Hi,

You can always use squid, untangle, endian, clearOS etc.

Thanks & Regards,

pfsense is functioning well but I am having trouble with youtube. 

Means, if you block contents in pfsense using shalla list, the same contents don't block in youtube only.

Hi,

For content filtering based on categories , you can use any open source firewall/UTM like IPcop,pfsense with blacklist
IPcop is easy to configure,but not customizable more,in pfsense u can add more softwares and configure them as per your requirement


You can find at http://www.squidguard.org/blacklists.html

for configuring it follow:-
IPCop v2.0.0 Administration Manual

You need either alias to block facebook.com or youtube.com for 443 traffic in pfsense
or
You can use OpenDNS to filter 443 traffic.
