Go explicit mode with WPAD and you should only have to worry about manually configuring Android phones to use the proxy

Also keep in mind that with android (without rooting) will only use the proxy for web browsing not apps and would need a port 80 and 443 pass rule.

I had the same problem
Executing this from Diagnostics > Command Prompt this solved it:

I think these folders are leftovers from a previous Squid instalation.

What do you have set for Blacklist Options under Services - Squidguard - General settings?  On the Services - Squidguard - Blacklist tab, what output do you get when you click the Download button?

Hi,
Have you solved your problem?
I experience the same issue, where surfing got slower with squid. What is your hardware setup and how have you configured Squid and Squidgard?

My internet connection is 100/100 fiber and I want to use squid to reduce load when torrents are running and to remove pop-ups that my browser popup-addon is not taking care of. I am running of Pfsense 2.3_1 with the versions of Squid and Squidgard that is included.
My hardware is atom D525 (X7SPE-HF-D525) with 2Gb RAM and the OS is stored on a 60Gb SSD.
I followed the following instructions:
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/SquidGuard_package
http://www.moh10ly.com/blog/pfsense/setup-squid-guard-proxy-server-on-pfsense

My personal settings:

Hard disk cashe size: 3000

Allowed subnets 10.10.10.0/24 (as my pfsense are 10.10.10.1/24).

I have used http: //www.shallalist. de / Downloads / shallalist.tar.gz to remove Add sites and I have created a personal filter to remove pop-up adds that are frequent on streaming sites.

In my case I will try to add 2Gb more RAM. I have seen that my setup boots OS Solaris slower with 2Gb compaired to the same system with 4Gb RAM and that could be due to my setup needs to cashe data instead of only using the RAM.

@cmb:

If you have an old enough version on the primary that it doesn't abort config sync when the config versions are different, you'll end up breaking the CARP VIPs on the secondary when the primary overwrites it because it blows away the uniqid that's required on 2.3. When you upgrade the primary, and config sync afterwards, it'll fix.

Thanks, after updating node1 everything is working again.

thanks @BBcan177

yes i just figured this out when i activated Alexa. So i will look further into that.

saying that, yes, i found the alerts tab in pfblocker and i also wanted to add them to whitelist by pressing "+" but for some reason pressing + doesn't do anything.

this browser thing, you meand pressing F12 while in the alert tab or how can i understand that?

Cheers,

Here is what I have so far. I managed to connect all the devices to the network and made them ping each other (PC, Router, Switch, and PfSense) but, the PC connected to the network still would not be able to connect to the internet even though the PfSense itself is connected and has internet connection.

Thank you sir for your reply  ;D

Here are the current open issues for squid, check if your problems are listed there.
https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense-packages

Ill try and get it updated once 1.6.6 gets tagged. As for the problem you describe i have not seen that reported before, afaik 1.6.4 works properly regarding forwarding headers send by a client. If your still experiencing that issue, then can you share the haproxy config file? (it can be seen at the bottom of the config tab by clicking a 'show config' link) Can you reproduce the issue with a curl request?

Can you tell us how did you cleared up those old installation's files and possibly how do you find them out too?
I resetted to factory default the whole PFSense countless times, it always fail to install once it reach 12/15….

Update:
                FIXED, Jimp made it work  :D  https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=113092.msg631132#msg631132

It's not just you, on v 2.3.1_1, the Squid package it's broken and doesn't even install.
Reported to admin but they are just pretending that it's a user's problem rather than a problem with their software/package….. :(

Update:
              i just found a whole (locked) thread discussing all the problems of this version, even the admins seems to be having a hard time, i tried this but it didn't work, i even changed the PFSense version i am using from the stable one 2.3.1_1 to the development version 2.3.2 to see if it would make any difference,  but has exactly the same problems.
Here is the link if you want to give it a try:
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=109967.0#msg624257

Update: My problem has been fixed here  https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=113092.msg631132#msg631132

I've fixed it. The solution was to install abandon pfsense and install ubuntu server 16.04 with the squid3 package. Then configure squid3.conf with some simple values.

I solved it by putting these two urls in the whitelist.

How can I debug this to see what being blocked in order to find what causes this issue?

Ahh … still get issue ...
i use external radius here

meanwhile i disable transparent squid + squidguard since its still broke with cp
i hope the dev have solid fix this issue soon

Of course it is. The chance is higher to find a virus, trojan and so on earlier the more security features and tools you are using.
Just want to give you an additional argument to decide if it is worth to buy new hardware only for ClamAV or if there are other possibilities to secure your network.
