Clearing the cache manually might have done the same thing for you.

squidGuard has one master config file that holds everything, so your Linux config should be pretty easy to read and reproduce in pfSense.  Linux config is probably in /etc/squidguard/squidguard.conf.

I don't know for sure, but I do know that transparent mode is more trouble than its worth.

Auto detect is enabled, but if I block those ports do I block them on the subinterface?
Because when I do nothing works I can't browse only ping…

EDIT: I got it working! It's logging everything - I'm not sure yet why but I'll check tomorrow and write back! Thanks again

Hi,

Hello,

thanks for reply.

Whitelist = I dont know where this option is
Blacklist = I dont know where this option is
blk_BL_adv: Deny = thrue
default access all: allow = thrue
Do not allow IP-addresses in URL: unticked = false –> Why not ticked?
Proxy denied error: blank (you can insert a warning string here) = false –> we have a extern url
Redirect mode: int error page = false –> we have a extern url
redirect info: blank = false –> we have a extern url
Use safeguard engine: unticked = false –> why?
Rewrite: none = thrue
Log: ticked = thrue

@u3c307:

squidguard_configurator.inc must contains after require section [ln 53..]:

/* Allow additional execution time 0 = no limit. */
ini_set('max_execution_time', '3600');
ini_set('max_input_time', '3600');

ini_set('memory_limit', '50M');

Locate file under /usr/local/pkg

Thank you for the reply and detailed direction on what to review for the future! Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to share whether or not these directions would have solved the problem because I rebuilt the router after being unable to find an answer online.

Since I had a VERY brand new installation, I didn't lose much except for time in the rebuild. Even though I had to re-install the OS and get everything re-installed and configured, I'm happy for the experience and thus far the community cooperation and support.

Thanks again - and I'll keep this saved in the event this happens again as I continue to refine my pfSense configuration.

Additionally, for those that are curious - these are the default settings I found in the configuration file. Maybe I would need to bump up the amount to "200M" if this error comes up again?

Allow additional execution time 0 = no limit –----------------------------------------------------------------------

ini_set('max_execution_time', '3600');
ini_set('max_input_time',    '3600');
ini_set('memory_limit',      '100M');

Have you made sure that the pid for squid is down when your cron job run? Possible that the pid is still up that is why it is saying squid already exist.

Ok it means i need to get this SquidVideoBooster plug-in, for caching youtube videos and extras. it will cost $1000 per year for this. Not 100% open source smellin ios/mac  ;)

Hello guys,
I am Brazilian and I am with this same problem, I am wanting to block this automatic download of Windows Update, and here I have some O.S Win7 and Win10, and wanted to make this block via squid. Could anyone help? Thanks for help.

There seems to be a problem with Yahoo sites - see http://lists.squid-cache.org/pipermail/squid-users/2016-June/011220.html (it is about flickr but the issues on all sites of yahoo)

Problem seams to be solved! I'll test with SquidGuard, but so far so good!

Thank You KOM

if there is only a step by step procedure how to maintain it, i will volunteer.

This is still an issue with that latest pfSense (2.3.2-RELEASE-p1) and Squid 0.4.23_1) Packages.  Every time I make a change to anything squid/clamav/reverse proxy I have to add the entry back into squid.conf.

Is this going to be fixed?

rm -rf /usr/local/etc/squid/

wipe the directory and try again
