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. http://serverfault.com/questions/235307/unusual-head-requests-to-nonsense-urls-from-chrome

Yes I totally agree with you. I'll try to reproduce the issue again and get back to you. Nicolas

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?
