OK.  I see the menu options in squid_ng.xml, but they are not appearing in the GUI.  Maybe I am just misunderstanding how the package/GUI system works.  Could someone give me pointers please?

Thanks!

You clearly are not understanding what I am saying.  Research ALTQ and Per user bandwidth.

Login to a shell and check /var/squid/log.  You should see a cache.log, and if you have logging enabled you will have an access.log.  Also, check to make sure that the daemon is runinng (ps aux | grep squid).  The cache is kept in /var/squid/cache as well.  So see how large that directory is.  There is also a cachemgr patch in the forums that I am looking into installing at the moment.

RC2h is now up.  To upgrade run this from a shell ( option 8 ):

For a list of bugs since RC2:  http://cvstrac.pfsense.com/rptview?rn=28

Run this command:

fetch -q -o - http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/update_to_rc2h.sh | sh -

This should be the last update before RC3.

@jeroen234:

uninstall squid
upgrade to the latest version of rc2 i beleve its rc2g now
install squid again

I uninstalled squid, cleaned up cache and config.xml,  upgraded up to f (didn't find any g?) and reinstalled. Same errors I'm afraid.

Just a note

Imho it is easier to operate an IDS on an external device!

OH,I SEE! Waiting it realease~~~~~~~

It works fine with RC2.

Did you uninstall and then reinstall?

.
…well, reinstalled it 2 times without success.
After that I deleted the package, rebooted and installed it again.

Now it works as expected.

Just to let you guys know...

Cheers

Thanks for clearing that up!

I think I will try to install head on a spare comp to experiment with, maybe try to make it dual boot FreeBSD/pfsense so that I can become more familiar with this stuff.

Uninstall and reinstall the squid package.

You're bumping up against the squid ACLs.  Consult the squid documentation and modify your squid.conf appropriately.

From the "Better Late Than Never" Department:

Log into the box and use squidclient to query squid for stats:

will give you a complete list of available commands.

is generally the first and most useful query to run.

Look at the statistics related to median response time. Of particular interest will be the time it takes DNS to answer requests. Remember, squid is a proxy, that means that it's doing a lot of work in place of clients. Each request consumes system resources while it's being processed and the longer it takes to complete the transaction the longer those resources are unavailable to handle other requests.

Also, make sure you're using diskd for async I/O, if possible, and that shared mem is tuned properly (if shared mem isn't tuned properly you'll get scary messages about resources being unavailable in the logs). NOTE: diskd can be a pain. If aufs works, use it instead. The last info I read on diskd v. aufs stated that in order for aufs to work on freebsd, threads would have to be able to do non-blocking I/O. I'm not sure about the current kernel, so more research is required.

Don't use the default cache object removal policy, it's slow, inefficient and indiscriminate. Use one of the heap-based policies instead. Choose whichever policy meets your need, the primary distinguishing characteristic being their affinity for object size or age.

Check the squid FAQ for more information.

Great! We should start a Starbucks fund for the dev's… I know I drank way too much Russian Sludge (no offense to the ruskies, but adding coffee grounds to a basket over and over until you can't close it makes for some interesting coffee) in my day developing grid software for super collider research.

Anyways, I'm going to get a test box or two running. Let me know if there's any other way I can contribute other than submitting meaningful and detailed bug reports. Unfortunately no matter how many Frapa's or Mocha's you drink, it still doesn't make release day come any sooner lol… Keep up the good work guys.

@mrreload:

Ok,
I tried again and I am getting the same thing. Log shows exactly the same as earlier post. I have tried deleteing the havp package file from /tmp, same. Tried to install it with or without squid installed. Tried a fresh install of pfsense, same. Strange thing is I have other packages installed without any issue. Squid and Freeradius.

The same happens for me, even on a new install of pfsense.  Here's the error i get for HAVP:

Downloading package configuration file… done.
Saving updated package information... done.
Downloading havp and its dependencies... done.
Checking for successful package installation... failed!

Installation aborted.

Here's the error I get when trying to install CLAMAV:

Installing clamav and its dependencies.
Executing custom_php_resync_config_command()...

It just sits there until I go and close the page after several minutes.  Weird thing though is that CLAMSMTP installs fine without any problems.

Thanks in advance...

Get a soekris/wrap and throw one of these ready made asterisk images to it. This will only use around 3 watts.
