        At first I thought it was just me. Apparently there are multiple people experiencing this problem. Does anybody know how to install a stable version?

        I was trying to install squid + squidguard because its very important that the network I work on has web filtering. It seems as if the transparent proxy is the problem here, because whenever I manually set the machines to that proxy, it will filter websites.

            i was able to fix the filter reload error by removing the lines about pptp from /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc
            i'm still getting some errors at bootup but everything SEEMS to be working and the filters load along with squid working

            this is not the ideal fix though

            one of the errors reads something like this

            ERROR unknown DS name qPenaltyUP

              Yes that stopped the error for me too. I can't test if squid is working with this fix as I'm the wrong side of that firewall at the moment.
              Incidentally the "qPenaltyUP" error and the presence of the new file "squid_canShape.inc" suggests that there's some hope for traffic shaping + squid coming soon? Hope so.
              This has been mentioned before as a version 2.0 feature only, but would be good to see it in 1.2.3.
              Nick.

              [Update] Ignore the "_canShape" ref. in this post. I think it's one of my own mods from a while back when attempting the shaping described in the next post down. Sorry for confusion….N.

                squid IS working, i added a blacklist site and tested it, it blocked it
                also checked logs…still annoyed with the other errors

                btw
                i have traffic shaping with squid working

                theres a REALLY good guide about it here

                it worked flawlessly without errors last squid package and it's STILL working with the current errors once you drop the pptp rules but like i said that is NOt the real fix

                  the portion after the underscore if a pfsense thing that indicates new bugfixes or features in the pfsense package…
                  please reinstall your squid package and test if the pptp error is gone ?

                    Just reinstalled. Installation re-wrote squid.inc. I no longer get the PPTP error.

                          I didn't get the PPTP error before but now that I'm home and on the LAN side of the firewall I'm afraid squid is not serving content from the cache.
                          A reboot does not give the PPTP error.  But a service stop/start raises the PPTP alert again.
