Hi for every one

I need to know the CP must work with squid or it can work alone?

My configure
DHCP server
DNS forwarder
enable thw CP
Idle time 10
popup window
local database and I add some users
dual wan
thats it

Squid and CP won't work together. Search the forum, it has been discussed before.

Its work just with transparent squid  ??? ??? ???

Icant make it work without squid :o :o :o

any idea?

[hoba]

It's a design limitation currently. Unless you have a transparent squid in front of the WAN of the CP enabled interface it won't work I think.

Ok, how do i understand this now…

Captive portal does not work anyway with squid transparent installed... ?

I have squid installed and it works, BUT:

Only IP-Filtering works, no MAC-Filtering and I do NOT see the auth page nor am I redirected to it.

I'm using CP with WLAN ATH0 Atheros Chipset...

Any ideas or normal behaviour thet MAC auth dows not work and redirect does not occur with squid ?

hi majedalanni

i have the following setup and every thing works fine with me since i started using pfsense with all previous versions untill 1.2:

squid = transparent

cp:
enable captive portal: checked
interface: lan
disable concurrent logins: checked
local user manager: selected

all done

I've had success using it in this manner as well just to confirm.

The problem I am having is with CP and squid trans. ON

any addresses set for unauth access, they will  return a squid error unless you are authenticated

thanks

I'm now using CP & transparent squid together.  Actually squid is bound to two different interfaces on my box and it still works great.

I use pfsense as captive portal + squid in transparent mode:
is there the way to make work msn and skype ?

thanks

hi

all applications are working with my clients, my setup is as follows:

squid page general settings:
proxy interface: lan
allow users on interface: checked
transparent proxy: checked
enabled logging: checked, "useful for squid report"

squid cache management:
keep all with default values and modify as per your computer specifications
enabled offline mode: checked

captive portal:
enable captive portal checked
interface: lan
idel timeout: 10 minutes
concurrent user logins: checked
authentication: local user manger "make sure you add users

all done

all applications should be working with your clients

good luck
