      This is looking great.  Thanks so much for all the progress.

      I've found one small issue, though it could relate to the malformed blacklist acl.  Wildcards do not work.  When the original squid plugin was working back when, I could create a white list and enter * as the blacklist.  This would only allow traffic to the explicitly named sites.

        data has been working his ass off on this squid thing where nobody else would work on it including me.

        Please show your support and donate to the data fund.  Not sure of his paypal account but please, he really has been working hard and deserves a couple cases of beer or wine, etc.

            Does squid affects the load balancing rules? I'm using load balancing for my two WAN's and it is working fine.
            Whenever squid is installed, all http traffic goes to the WAN gateway, no traffic passes through WAN2. But if i remove squid, load balancing functions properly again.
            Any recommendations? Thank you very much.
            Pfsense rocks!!!

              That would be correct. That is not something we can fix.
              It's the same issue as the FTP proxy

                pfsense and all aplications on pfsense it self can not use load balancing so they will use the wan interface

                  Is Squid supposed to be working ATM?

                  Installed it on a 1.0.1 with 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-01-13-2007 built on Sun Jan 14 15:07:53 EST 2007 and got these errors:

                    As the previous posts mention, fill in those fields on the access control tab and the errors go away.

                    I have not had time or incentive to fix these errors yet.

                      Thanks again for all the squid work.  Hope nobody minds if databeestje gets the $125 remaining on my bounty.  I'm really looking forward to the last few kinks getting worked out soon.

                      Maybe some of the other Squid users out there could pitch in a bit too, data deserves it!

                          Woops, sorry!
                          I thought of recalling that these fields were blank filled on install but that might not be committed yet.

                          Thanks for the hard work you put in squid!

                            I fixed the problem on that way:

                            (well, it's a dirty hack, but it works out with 2.6.5_1-p9)

                            Tab "Access control"

                            Allowed subnets: use a local subnet (that subnet don't have to exist realy in your network), that dosn't fit to the proxy-interface. (the interface-subnet is used automaticly)

                            Unrestricted IPs: the same as subnets above - an ip that dosn't fit to the local subnet on proxy-interface

                            Banned host addresses: an ip not used in your local network

                            Whitelist: 0.0.0.0 - it means all ip-ranges
                            Blacklist: an ip-adress not used in your local network

                            Have nice proxying ;)

                              mines crashing with the following

                              sounds like it doesnt like me having the higher ports forwarded. but that shouldnt really matter to squid.

                                Not sure why you would want a squid without a valid localnet decleration.

                                Also, when you check the allow networks on local interfaces you automatically will have this filled out. Since this is what most users will want.

                                  Version p10 just committed.

                                  This should fix the empty ACL problem. I'll see how hard it is to rewrite the acl lists into a line by line format instead of commaseperated.

                                      also i can't make any changes on General settings page.

                                      The following input errors were detected:

                                      * You must start log location with a / mark
                                          * That is not a valid log location dir
                                          * You can not run squid on the same port as the webgui

                                      P.S. I am not using logs…

                                        Data: i ended up having to wipe squid completely off including manually deleting the squid config files for it fo finally work. all the settings were correct and enabled as they should have been. guess it was an artifact from a previous version that was interfering. last test was P9 and was blocking what i was telling it too.

                                        I'll try out P10 when i get home tonight.

                                            coredumps here too

                                            latest snapshot and p10 and only "pid xxxx (squid), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)"

                                            pkg uninstalled, used pkg_delete to remove both squid-packages, 'find / -name "squid"' and all deleted and even removed all squid lines from /cf/conf/config.xml but it stays the same.

                                            my pkg_info shows the following:

                                            bsdinstaller-2.0.2006.0728 BSD Installer mega-package
cpdup-1.05          A comprehensive filesystem mirroring program
lighttpd-1.4.13     A secure, fast, compliant, and very flexible Web Server
lua-5.0.2_1         Small, compilable scripting language providing easy access
openldap-client-2.3.24 Open source LDAP client implementation
openldap-client-2.3.30 Open source LDAP client implementation
openntpd-3.7p1,2    OpenBSD's Network Time Protocol daemon
pcre-6.7            Perl Compatible Regular Expressions library
perl-5.8.8          Practical Extraction and Report Language

                                            what packages can safely be removed (dependencies from squid)? maybe there is some old version in there that has to be reinstalled.
