I'm on pfSense 2.2.1 and I just installed squid3 and set up a simple transparent proxy.  No clamav, no squidguard.  I was trying to follow the OP's tuturial to add access to the cachemgr tab:

cd /usr/local/www ln -s /usr/local/libexec/squid/cachemgr.cgi cd /usr/local/etc/squid cp cachemgr.conf.default cachemgr.conf

The problem is the paths are all different. 
/usr/local/libexec/squid and /usr/local/etc/squid do not exist.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

edit:  I figured it out (I'm a BSD noob…sorry)

Here are the paths.

/usr/pbi/squid-i386/local/etc/squid

/usr/pbi/squid-i386/local/libexec/squid

I'm not sure if the paths changed due to newer pfSense version, or the fact I'm using squid3 vs. squid, but it did work for me!

Hi,
try to put those IP on the ByPass rule in General page of the Proxy setting.
:)

Have you checked the System log for Squid errors?  Anything in /var/squid/logs/cache.log?

What happens in squid in transparent mode

In transparent mode, your browser will show an error because the site that it is indirectly connecting to doesn't match the certificate.

What this actually means
Instead of listing on each computer details of squid
I create this file Put it in pfsense
And computers identify squid alone without any settings ?

Yes.  However, the web sever hosting the wpad.dat file has to be HTTP, not HTTPS.  You can use the pfSense web server if you have it set to use WebGUI via HTTP.  Otherwise, you will have to have another web server to host the file that is HTTP.

People, good morning, reinstalling with version 2.2.1, 64 still getting same issue.
After frustrated days I was reinstall with version 2.1.5, 64bits and squid is working like a charm. regards

Perfecto, gracias!!!

Thanks for all your replies. It's a shame you can't filter https with squid

You can filter HTTPS with Squid but you have to configure it (and perhaps your clients) to use it properly.

WPAD Proxy Auto-Configure with squid

Can anypost pics of there config I cant seem to get it working.

I've tired just about everything

Don't know why package maintainer don't set correct default values.

It seems there's a check when "proxy.domain.com" is in there you get a warning.
If you set "www.domain.com" there's no error :P

You can download the squid3 it has an option to cache updates such as windows updates and free anti-virus updates.  The older version needs a bit of tuning.  Here is the tut https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Squid_Package_Tuning

But while we bypass proxy for some particular IP's the same site is opening for bypassed IP's but remaining IP's are blocked as above Mod-Security.

Should be fixed in pkg v0.22, pullrequest send. https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pull/834 will probably be committed and be on the package repository in a day or so.

I think you have misunderstood me. I did not just stop filter that hostname. It simply stopped filtering anything.

sorry for not being clear, I solved it creating a group acl at the last order and assignin my network as source like you said thanks

Probably chrome probing for DNS/etc.

Yes I totally agree with you.

I'll try to reproduce the issue again and get back to you.

Doese failover work?

Hi there,

any news concerning that issue? Same problem over here…just spend nearly the whole day trying to fix it. Could one of you guys solve it?

Cheers

You could do a tail -f /var/squid/logs/access.log and see if you get hits or misses when manually running Windows Update, or you could update a client and watch the bandwidth monitor to see if there is WAN activity that matches the LAN activity.  No WAN activity + large LAN activity means it's using the cache.  Just be warned though.  I have played with Dynamic Content caching in the past and it was not reliable for me.    Every request for a segment of the download would cause the entire file to be downloaded, so a 100MB update ended up making Squid download many gigabytes.  My WAN was saturated for an hour while LAN was flat.  I disabled Dynamic Content after that.

did you solved the problem?

I realized on my installation that the new squid package does NOT start squidguard immediately, but on the first access to a website!

This is supposedly how the new SquidGuard works.  I'm not sure how it's a problem unless you must see the little green/white triangle.  As long as it works, that is what's important.

Hi!

I have this problem too.

There should be no need for that with the current package. The gd library is there and the package should be invoking ldconfig to nudge the system to find it without such hacks.

Check to see if it's there at all:

find / -name "*GD*.so"

All righty, thank you for the explanation :)

I had this same issue with squid 2.7.9.  This worked for me:

Set squid proxy to listen on port 3129 (or any port you choose, the GUI wouldn't allow me to leave it blank)
Add custom option: http_port 3128 transparent

Port forward on LAN:
Traffic TCP Src * Srcport * Dest * Destport HTTP(80) TargetIP pfsensebox IP Targetport 3128

My guess is that on the GUI without the transparent box checked, squid was not operating transparently on port 3128 until specifically defined to do so.

Unfortunately my ultimate goal was to use this rule to apply limiters to the traffic but apparently there is a bug with limiters and squid in transparent mode that I can't seem to get around!

https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Lightsquid_Troubleshooting

Try running Firefox on the XP box and see if that is any different.

I'll try

Clarification
the computer is old old
the operating system is old

Update from yesterday
But it was already too late and I turned off my computer

The computer in question was one hour ahead

I set the computer time and date accurate
And now

Only two sites inaccessible
And show the same message as before

f.y.i. in (somewhat) recent versions of the package its possible to create multiple 'binds' using the normal webgui options. So its possible to have 1 frontend listen on both :443(with ssl-offloading) and :80. So you don't need the bind in 'advanced pass through' anymore.

Have you looked in your SquidGuard filter log?

Hi, :)
So with ssl filtering, windows update does not want to do this. There in there a manipulation to do to solve this problem.
Sorry for my bad english  ;D
