      So, I'm trying to setup Squid as a proxy for http and https. It's driving me nuts, because this is a vanilla config. I think it's probably something simple, but I'm at a loss as to what the problem is.
      CONFIG

      • Defaults on most settings for squid
      • Transparent proxy NOT enabled (proxy is configured with both ports in browsers)
      • ACL for source network set
      • Root CA setup on firewall and cert loaded into client.
      • local cache disabled (for now)
      • A/V and authentication disabled
      • Squidguard not loaded (yet)

      SYMPTOMS

      • Http traffic seems to proxy OK (neverssl.com and others)
      • HTTPS traffic just hits the firewall with no response. Tons of syn packets.
      • Client just eventually times out, no other errors.
      • No denials in the firewall logs (Same rule allows 3128 & 3129 ports)
      • There is NO record of httpS traffic in '/var/squid/logs/access.log', only the http stuff

      I'm baffled. It's like the checkbox that enables SSL filtering isn't even checked (I've unchecked, and checked and rebooted twice).

      Any thoughts?

        Answering my own question to possibly save others some sanity. The system doesn't use a separate port (3129) for the SSL traffic. I saw "SSL Proxy Port" and "Default: 3129" and assumed that's what I should configure on the client...silly me.

        I removed the seperate entry for https on my browser and used 3128 for both and everything started working.
