@hugoeyng security !!!
I would recommend you guys private message each other your contact emails

@hugoeyng I sent you a copy of my config file. I hope that helps please don't share it with anyone else. I hope that helps you secure your system and get your URL blocker working again. Use it with a dif checker to see what is bonked up. I was somewhat worried to share this as it's everything, but then I thought, what is the goal? Well, it's to help secure systems with cyber security as the end result. I am 1. just running this at my home it's not really a super secure environment, so no big deal if I share it. I hope that helps you in some way as people are generally good.

@jonathanlee It got worse

WARNING: Current pkg repository has a new PHP major
version. pfSense should be upgraded before
installing any new package.

@jonathanlee Finally!! Everything working fine.

A few minutes ago the upgrade of Squid and squidGuard
was made available and corrected the issue we were trying to fix.

Thank you, Jonathan and Stephen.

@hugoeyng that's great!! Now you have a really good URL filter again.

@hugoeyng @stephenw10 Is this of any concern I just noticed this?

This port is deprecated; you may wish to reconsider installing it:

EOLd, potential security issues, maybe use db18 instead.

It is scheduled to be removed on or after 2022-06-30.

I have found:

It's a concern, yes. But we are not removing it from our repo any time soon. If we did Squidguard would fail and we would rework it with something else.

@stephenw10 Just clarification, are you saying that if need be you (netgate) would try and find a workaround?

stephenw10

Yes, if Squidguard broke because some dependency was no longer viable we would look to correct that.
