      I just installed pfsense, and the squid and squidguard package.
      I checked "Allow users…", "Transparent", logs, port 80, created a user, and left the rest by default.

      The problem is that I can only access google pages, when I click on any other link outside of google the page doesnt load. I only get the title of the page sometimes ..
      Is there anything I should configure to make the proxy work with any pages not just google ?
      (I havent enabled squidguard yet..)

      Another issue I have is that I cannot access the pfsense admin pages when squid is running, I have to login through ssh, kill the pid and then I can access it again.
      What can I do about that ?

      squid access logs:
      "..
      1250440010.466      0 192.168.1.100 TCP_DENIED/400 2168 POST error:invalid-request - NONE/- text/html
      1250440016.045 179759 192.168.1.186 TCP_MISS/504 1486 GET http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSTRE57D45Z20090814 - DIRECT/216.35.67.135 text/html
      "

      Cache logs:
      2009/08/16 18:26:43| clientReadRequest: FD 59 (192.168.1.100:43931) Invalid Request
      2009/08/16 18:26:50| clientReadRequest: FD 54 (192.168.1.100:43935) Invalid Request

      (The same urls load fine if I bypass pfsense..)

      Thanks for any help :)

          change your gui port other than 80.

          I have Squid transparent at default port of 3128
          my gui port for pfsense is 445
          squid and squidguard work perfect.

            It works fine now, thanks !

            I just have another problem, I seem to have to renew my ip lease every 5 min to be able to access the Internet/web, although my ip remains and I can access my local network http servers ..

            Any idea what can cause this ?

            Other devices (iphone, squeezebox etc..) dont have this problem.
            The laptop was working fine through my ipcop box..
            I left the default dhcp lease time in the settings.

              seems to have been a problem between the eth0 and eth1 interfaces on the laptop ..
              it all works fine now.
              The Proxy is a bit slow sometimes though, I 'll have to use it for some time to compare with the ipcop box I had ..
