      you cannot tell ie or FF th use HHTP proxy for HTTPS traffic…
      until now squid does not work as a HTTPS proxy, so it cannot filter any requests regarding HTTPS...
      that's it... perhaps this will be possible at any time, but not now...

        I am not running squid in transparent mode.

        Squid isn't passing https request to squidguard to analyze.

        He is passing only http and ftp.

        then

        ftp://playboy.com    is blocking

        http://playboy.com  is blocking

        HTTPS://playboy.com    IS NOT BLOCKING

        When I use  - Proxy Server -> Access Control  – Blacklist  ---it works

        []s

          but does squid block this when you add your URL to the access control blacklist ?

            Yes!

            Only this way.

            I would like squid use the squidguard to filter  https too. And not only http and ftp.

            Tks

                This is incorrect.  Squid can proxy HTTPS connections, if you set proxy settings into your browser.  This is the recommended solution for this issue if you want to filter all http and https connections.

                    I just replaced an ipcop box with pfSense and also need to proxy https. On the ipcop box (with the advanced url filter add-on), we ran Squid non-transparently, and manually set all the browsers. Then we had to write a rule to force all port 443 traffic to the proxy. Not elegant, but it worked. Now, Squid is running in non-transparent mode on my pfSense box, but it seems SquidGuard when enabled, puts squid into a transparent mode. Then all my browser clients, which have already been manually set to look for the proxy become inoperable and cannot browse anywhere. Can you help? Thanks much in advance!

                      SquidGuard can't modify squid mode (transparent - not transparent or other..), this is only URL analyser(filter) and no more. If you have problem with access to sites with enable squidGuard - this is filter settings question. Pls put here you problem with more detailed information.
