Youtube content getting filtered on Squid

[themaharshpatel]

@michmoor Because in its underlying PHP code where it is generating the config file for the squid. It is checking for a null value to skip the content filtration config. But here as there was none mentioned. It was considered as a string and the condition was not getting fulfilled to skip the config generation.

Redmine issue opened: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13811
Thank you @JonathanLee and @michmoor for testing this. Now, let's hope that the PR gets merged soon!

@themaharshpatel I hope your ticket gets some movement. Its an obvious coding flaw that truthfully...shouldve been picked up years ago but i suppose it shows how often the Squid package gets used by people. Do you know if theres a way to notify folks? Its still sitting there with no acknowledgement.

There might be no acknowledgment due to holidays. And this is the first time I am opening an issue so I don't know about notifying the mods.

@themaharshpatel same issue with 23.05

[michmoor]

@jonathanlee The redmine hasnt been actioned. The Git pull request hasnt been approved from what i can tell.
TBH, considering staff is extremely limited i doubt this will ever get resolved. I would instead see if you could pin this thread at the top.

[JonathanLee]

I have added a new pull

[michmoor]

@JonathanLee Coming back to this. Still no pickup from Netgate?
I am using Squid and I remembered this forum post :)

[JonathanLee]

@michmoor Still waiting for a update on the 2nd pull request, I made another that was in PfSense packages to see if that gets traction

I have also added this to the development discussion area to attempt to get some traction.

@JonathanLee I am running into another issue with Squid. Curious if you can replicate it.
Using Unrestricted IPs section along with using Authetnication. No matter what IP or Network i place in the Unrestricted IPs section i am still prompted for Authentication. Its like that variable is not being passed through the config.

Also this is unchecekd.

[michmoor]

Ok i figured it out but its a tad confusing in the GUI.
There is this section under ACL. According to the Note adding your IP here should exempt users from being authenticated BUT this does not work.

Instead under the authentication tab there is a section that DOES work ane remove the ability for the IPs listed here to be authenticated.
Its confusing and the documentation is not clear on this point at all.
