Unfortunately, I am unable to standard or authenticated mode. Due do my setup, transparent is the only way for me. I appreciate the news on version 7.4 and look forward to being able to add https scanning to our security model. That will help a great deal. I've been an Astaro user since 4.xx and I love what it does. Even with HTTPS scanning on the horizon, I will still utilize OpenDNS because it's nice to have two layers of security.

First, https is only unfiltered when using transparent mode on the firewall. Using a standard or any authenticated mode does allow content filtering of https sites. Second, Astaro is adding transparent https scanning in the next major release, version 7.400. It is due out early next year, and is currently available in beta. You might want to check it out. http://up2date.astaro.com/ has more info. I realize this is an old post, but I had two points you might be interested in.
