        I to am having the same exact issue.

        Edit: I had to comment out the pptpd rules in squid.inc to get it working.

        /* Handle PPTP case */
        /*		if($config['pptpd']['mode'] != "off") {
        			$rules .= "rdr on \$pptp proto tcp from any to !(\$pptp) port 80 -> 127.0.0.1 port 80\n";
        		}	
        */	
        		$rules .= "\n";
        		break;
        	case 'filter':
        		foreach ($ifaces as $iface){
        			$rules .= "# Setup squid pass rules for proxy\n";
        			$rules .= "pass in quick on $iface proto tcp from any to !($iface) port 80 flags S/SA keep state\n";
        			$rules .= "pass in quick on $iface proto tcp from any to !($iface) port $port flags S/SA keep state\n";
        			$rules .= "\n";
        		};
        		if($config['pppoe']['mode'] == "off") {
        			$rules .= "pass in quick on \$pppoe proto tcp from any to !(\$pppoe) port $port flags S/SA keep state\n";			
        		}			
        /*		if($config['pptpd']['mode'] != "off") {
        			$rules .= "pass in quick on \$pptp proto tcp from any to !(\$pptp) port $port flags S/SA keep state\n";
        		}	
        */		
        		break;
        	default:
        		break;
        	}
        
        	return $rules;
        }
        ?>

          well, yes !
          i'm just wondering about and found the error…
          perhaps you could test if it works if you put this as pptpd:

          		if($config['pptpd']['mode'] == "server") {
          			$rules .= "rdr on \$pptp proto tcp from any to !(\$pptp) port 80 -> 127.0.0.1 port 80\n";
          		}	
          

          would you please tell me after this ?

            this doesn't work for me, filter errors again
            There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:345: macro 'pptp' not defined/tmp/rules.debug:345: syntax error pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded - The line in question reads [345]: pass in quick on $pptp proto tcp from any to !($pptp) port 3128 flags S/SA keep state…

            This page will automatically refresh every 3 seconds until the filter is done reloading.

              could you please paste your pptpd portion without any private data of your config.xml ? or pm me ?

              Diagnostics > Edit File > /conf/config.xml > Load > search for pptpd and then everything between <pptpd>and</pptpd> ?

              thanks…

                  ok, same problem here… sometimes there seems to be some pptp-mode string missing...

                  which pfsense version are you using ?

                            Hello

                            I have the same problem after installing the latest squid.
                            I'm using Pfsense 1.2 final dual WAN with squid+squidguard+lightsquid in transparent mode.
                            If i disable transparent mode i don't get the error message.
                            I removed all the packages and installed them again but the error appears again..

                            Any ideas?

                              i temporarily disabled the pptp usage in squid, so update your xml-config and it should work… please let me know...
