@KOM:

I guess I will wait longer until there is a squid3 stable version.

FYI I'm running pfSense 2.2.2 with Squid3 0.2.8 (I hate the new version scheme, it's really Squid 3.4.10) and squidGuard 1.5.1.  Works like a charm.

I agree with you there! But its the package version number, not the port/binary itself. The description should probably include the binary version for less confusion.  …..based on Squid 3.4.10

I think I remember there being a problem with Squid and limiters but I might be wrong.

Is squidGuard stable with squid3?

Yes, but after installing it you have to restart squid or reboot the entire thing.

Is there are report generator that (Lightsquid) that works with squid3?

Lightsquid and Sarg both work well, but Sarg needs the symlink fix or the GUI won't show the reports.

Hi Namm,

I am not interested in using IP addresses since it kills the idea of dynamic hosts for example:

cdn-1.xx.yy

Such hosts are usually mapped to multiple IP's dynamically spinned on one cloud or the other.

I would like to use the dns name and would like it to be resolved accordingly, otherwise there is no use excluding domains.

I wish pfSense guys will respond to this thread and say something about this and why they blocked such option from working through the UI.

Today, almost every proxy have the ability to exclude/bypass destination domains by putting: ".mydomain.com"

Best Regards,

Nissim

Is there any way to fix this?

Should I submit a bug report on redmine?

If you guys are using embedded version on an appliance, the /tmp folder sits in RAM and gets dumped every reboot, and that's where the blacklists are stored.

So I've tried this :

@jimp:

To remove squid, squidguard, lightsquid, and anything else with 'squid' in its package name:

foreach (array_keys($config['installedpackages']) as $sec) { if (strpos($sec, "squid") !== false) unset($config['installedpackages'][$sec]); } write_config("Removed all squid-related settings");

And it did what I needed.

THANKS!

Hi Guys,

Problem Solved, thanks for the support…..

I have re-installed squid package and squid gaurd

its worked charm.......

Hi, Guys

My machine is an amd64 computer,  pfSense 2.2.2 from live-cd, I have been trying Squid3 for weeks, there were Snort, pfBlockerNG and Squid3,  3 packages under pfSense, all clean installed, but can't surf the internet unless I turn off the Transparent HTTP Proxy mode, all I get are the following error:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.google.ca

Connection to 127.0.0.1 failed.

The system returned: (60) Operation timed out

The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Your cache administrator is admin@localhost.

Also, the Antivirus never works for me.  Does Antivirus have to be worked with Transparent HTTP Proxy mode turned on?

Thanks for any helps.

That leads to the attached error in the logs, with proxy stopping (after the status went to running).

@deddric:

Same isue here..anyone got it working?

/d

This appears to be ongoing.  I edited havp.inc to change the WORK_DIR and still not working.

Apt-cacher might be a better fit for you.  I've been running squid3 in a corporate environment and my hit rate is never above 7% no matter how much I fiddle with the squid config.  However, I have heard good results when caching Linux updates in general since they don't play games with the filenames of the updates like with Windows Updates and other A/V updates.

Ya, unfortunately the URL keeps changing, but isnt that what dynamic content is? to catch even changing URLs?

Thanks m8 for sharing the solution. I also had that problem with reverse proxy + Dynamic IP address.

Likewise, I get exactly the same error in my system logs and when I arrive in the morning I find the squid service in a 'stopped' state. A manual start fixes everything again, but it's annoying having to do this every morning.

My system log:
