Squid Returned to Packages *** PLEASE TEST ***

MerlinWV

There is still some wrong …
Clean install of 1.0.1 iso, immediate upgrade to latest snapshot (2007-01-19), install squid.

It starts and seems to be running on the default port (3128), but if I try to change anything on the General settings page (i.e. Admin e-mail, displayed hostname, PORT), I get the notorious:
The following input errors were detected:
You can not run squid on the same port as the webgui

Any hints? I'm running pfSense with the WEBGUI on the default HTTPS-Port of 443 and I'm trying to set the Proxy-Port to 8080 ...

@MerlinWV:

Change the webGUI port to: HTTP:81, save it and set it back to https:443
This cured it over here on 2 installs

Maybe it's just the unused reference to HTTP:80 that squid doesn't like, but I don't know.
I have set squid to transparent mode on port 80, FWIW

superwutze

found it!

i had to activate and deactivate the upstream-proxy! no idea why that but it solved it!! p15 running!!

Justinw

I gave it a test run, p15 seems to be working great for me, I will update you if I find out anything new in my logs!

MerlinWV

Setting the WebGUI-Port solved it.
No need to set it to http:81 and back to https:443.

Just specifying a port in the WebGUI-Field does the trick (even if it's the default https port of 443).

Which gives me the suspicion that the "WebGUI-Port-Field is used for a RegEx - and an empty RegEx matches all … I'll test if a WebGui-Port of 80 prevents a Proxy-Port of 8080 or 8000 ...

Woot! I'm going to give this a try in the next week or two on the big iron box I've been running squid on since before it got b0rken'd. I have a 60+ day uptime on that box, squid hasn't been restarted once.

Hi, can you recompile squid with –enable-arp-acl option, because, arp acls not working.

thank you very much :)

Any luck yet with white list only or any kind of wild card in the black list field? Just tried with a clean install of snapshot 1-24 and I'm still making it to any site. Maybe we'll have to do something like ipCop and create a whitelist only check box. I suspect in their implementation it removes the blacklist_acl completely and leaves only the whitelist in squid.conf. Just a thought, my programming / text edit skills in FreeBSD are marginal at best.

Any ideas data?

what kind of wildcard are you looking for in the blocked domains? trying to be able to block domains like sex ? cuz that WOULD be nice.
currently though it can block all subdomains of a domain. wonder if it will work on top domains. would be neat if i could block, say, all of .ru (havent tried so it may already do it). course i could do the same thing by running an internal DNS.

There is also some difficulties if i setup my proxy without transparent proxy and Allow users on interfase, with Allowed subnets, then squid.inc create

acl allowed_subnets src XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/XX

but there is no

http_access allow allowed_subnets

also waiting for recompiled squid binaries with –arp

Blacklisting TLDs does work as reported in this post some time ago. I want to be able to block all sites not explicitly named in my whitelist.

ju5t4s

for whitelisting and blacklisting use wildcard "."

example for blacklist:

.sex.
.xxx.
.ch
.net
.123456.

if you leave only "." dot in list then your users can access only sites listed in Whitelist

Best regards

The period worked!!!! Thank you so much ju5t4s.

I tried (as a matter of interest) to block all .ru domains, but using .ru in the blocked area blocks sites like this forum :lol: I'm not sure it should though.

It shouldn't block forum should it? I can understand it blocking foru, as there's nothing after the ru and it would match the wildcard pattern, but not forum

ju5t4s

edit manualy file /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc

and change "dstdom_regex -i" to "dstdomain"

you can change it for you filtering needs

more about acl types you can read http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl#head-021f45033c4ee1b1fc5bdd4f5c49ddcd08f45bd1

I have been working on getting squid to start and stop propery. I am using 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-02-08-2007.
I have some suggestions for changes to improve the situation:

in /etc/rc.newwanip, insert:
exec("/etc/rc.stop_packages");
before
exec("/etc/rc.start_packages");
in /etc/rc.stop_packages, is package synching necessary?
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proxy_monitor.sh, it is necessary to examine the parameter to determine if start, stop or restart should be performed. I have attached the updated file proxy_monitor.sh.txt. As package sync overwrites this file, I have been able to test only by commenting out package sync in start_packages and stop_packages.

It would certainly help to have these changes released in a snapshot.

Any ideas why in the services tab I have ~30 instances of squid running?

I've rebooted and it still shows them all when I reboot

databeestje

no idea yet.

I am sorely out of time at work to work on squid this month.

jahonix

First I had 5 instances of NTPserver running. De- and re-install helped this service but then it were 4 or 5 squid services.
Deinstalled squid and reinstall cured this finally.

All of this was after upgrading to 1.0.1 snapshot Feb 09 OR Feb 06 - don't know exactly anymore.

PC_Arcade

Yeah, I find from time to time a package goes a bit mental and starts running multiple instances of itself, but squid, even after an uninstall / reinstall cycle was exactly the same, I was running literally 30 instances!
