      Load Balancing in PFsense work OK  ;) ;).. I work with load balancing in pfsense 1.2.3 and 2.0 Alpha but in my work we need Squid and Load Balancing, and at moment work with 2 pcs but I want to work in one machine or one PC.
      I am so exhausted, I tried and I tried again and again for a week work SQUID and LOAD BALANCING but nothing  :'( :'( :'(, only work with one WAN not with 2 WAN. I am not newbie I work with Pfsense for 2 years. It is amazing firewall, but I need your help now :-.. I do not know that I am wrong or maybe really doesn't work..  PLEASE anybody tell me if PFSENSE 2.0 work Squid and Loab Balancing.. and send me a example (if possible send money) because people and everyone says that pfsense works well but nobody shows an example or someone has been working Squid and LOAD Balancing at the same time for a long time.

      thanks a lot of from Peru…  ;)

      PD: I used different version of Pfsense 2.0, here send a picture from my configuration and file with rules.debug

        Add a rule under Floating rules as:

        
        pass  out  quick  route-to { ( vr0 192.168.1.1 ) , ( xl1 192.168.20.1 ) } round-robin  from 127.0.0.1/24 to any keep state  label "USER_RULE:Squid balance"

          like for example this:

          # User-defined rules follow
          pass  out  quick  on {  vr0  } proto tcp  from any  to <vpns> keep state  label "NEGATE_ROUTE: Negate policy route for vpn(s)"
          pass  out  quick  on {  vr0  } route-to { ( vr0 192.168.1.1 ) , ( xl1 192.168.20.1 ) } round-robin  proto tcp  from any to any port = 80  keep state  label "USER_RULE"
          
          pass  out  quick  route-to { ( vr0 192.168.1.1 ) , ( xl1 192.168.20.1 ) } round-robin  from 127.0.0.1/24 to any keep state  label "USER_RULE:Squid balance"
          
          pass  in  quick  on $LAN  from 192.168.55.0/24  to <vpns> keep state  label "NEGATE_ROUTE: Negate policy route for vpn(s)"
          pass  in  quick  on $LAN  route-to { ( vr0 192.168.1.1 ) , ( xl1 192.168.20.1 ) } round-robin  from 192.168.55.0/24 to any keep state  label "USER_RULE: Default allow LAN to any rule"</vpns></vpns>
          

          I will try again and I will tell you if all is ok

            I have tried adding a rule in floating tab, but I didn't have success, I have tried almost everything including Ermal's help with no success. When the connection comes from the BALANCE GATEWAY.. the load balance apparently works with Squid but WAN1 is the only one working, WAN2 doesn't work, I guess I need a exact rule in floating rule, but how I say I have tried a lots of rules in floating tab
            like for example
            Floating Rules:
            pass  out  quick  route-to { ( vr0 192.168.1.1 ) , ( xl1 192.168.20.1 ) } round-robin  from 127.0.0.1/24 to any keep state  label "USER_RULE"

            but nothing i tried also this rule:

            Floating Rules:
            pass  out  quick  on {  vr0  } route-to { ( vr0 192.168.1.1 ) , ( xl1 192.168.20.1 ) } round-robin  proto tcp  from any to any port = 80  keep state  label "USER_RULE"

            I'm sure there are many people who have the same problem and it would be helpful to know the correct configuration. Squid and Load Balancing works in one machine would be excellent

              Hi!
              The problem is that Squid2 doesn't understand Load Balancing feature:
              http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/HOWTO_troubleshoot_loadbalancing_issues#Squid_doesn.27t_seem_to_be_using_both_connections
              So you MUST use squid3 (available in the Packages section).

              NOTE: Squid3 doesn't work properly in TRANSPARENT MODE, so you can't filter http traffic with SquidGuard without manually force the browser to use proxy in every lan client!  >:(

                Do not select an interface at the floating tab rule creation.

                  Well bad news  :'( :'( :'(.. I woke up one morning realizing that I had everything set up but nothing I prove everything with all possibles rules in floating and nothing,
                  rules like for example

                  Floating Rules
                  pass  out  quick  route-to { ( vr0 192.168.1.1 ) , ( xl1 192.168.20.1 ) } round-robin  from 127.0.0.1/24 to any keep state  label "USER_RULE"

                  nothing   ???.. other rules, the rules below doesn't work  >:(:

                  User-defined rules follow

                  pass  out  quick route-to { ( vr0 192.168.1.1 ) , ( xl1 192.168.20.1 ) } round-robin  proto tcp  from 127.0.0.1 to any port = 80  keep state  label "USER_RULE"
                  pass  in  quick  on $LAN  route-to { ( vr0 192.168.1.1 ) , ( xl1 192.168.20.1 ) } round-robin  from 192.168.55.0/24 to any keep state  label "USER_RULE: Default allow LAN to any rule"

                  let me tell you that i prove thousands of rules but nothing  :-, I will prove again this weekend but I almost sure that IS NOT POSSIBLE USE SQUID AND LOAD BALANCING IN PFSENSE 2.0 :-[.
                  My friend Ermal tell me that this is possible  :o, but I wonder if there is person that work with SQUID and BALANCE ( I think that none)..
                  Ermal if you send me one configuration that I can use in my network  :-[  I will send a beautiful gift from Peru.. jajaj well your help is appreciable
                  I beg you send me a setup that really works..  my whole country will thank you ;)

                    CONCLUSION:
                    SQUID and LOAD BALANCING  doesn't work together.. why??? well is a little hard to explain, you can see more details in picture below, Squid only work with DEFAULT GATEWAY not with LOAD BALANCE GATEWAY, Squid choose one gateway, and this gateway is "DEFAULT GATEWAY"
                    See the pictures please
                    PS: All configuration is OK including the floating, Load Balancing works fine and Squid also.. but when Squid and Balance works, Squid only works with one Gateway or one WAN INTERFACE.. it can be WAN or OPT1.. I thought that Squid was working with Virtual Interface created by Load Balancing i.e that two WANs provide cache

                      Is it not possible to make the gateway-group default? I don't have Multi-WAN, so its only a thought… Maybe wrong.

                            @_igor_:

                            Is it not possible to make the gateway-group default? I don't have Multi-WAN, so its only a thought… Maybe wrong.

                            Well Squid only work with the local IP 127.0.0.1 then Squid works with default gateway, it doesn't work with gateway-group, you can see in the picture below an example, if I take OPT1 like defaul gateway then Squid works with OPT1 interface, if you take WAN like default gateway then Squid work with Wan interface.

                              The only problem i see in your config is that you might want to try
                              from:

                              <address>127.0.0.1/24</address>

                              to:

                              <address>127.0.0.1/8</address>

                              afterwards i need access to the system.

                                All work fine, SQUID + LOAD BALANCING, but apparently, SQUID only works with default gateway, if you remove WAN or turn off ADSL telefonica, you will not have internet but will continue to operate Squid

                                PLEASE SEE THE PICTURE BELOW.

                                  Do you by any chance have sticky-connections active?!

                                        I know this is an old post but I'm seeing the same symptoms as the OP, squid works fine with load balancing but if the default gateway modem is turned off/unplugged, clients are unable to browse the internet.

                                          How you are creating rules?

                                            Hi Ermal

                                            Action: PASS / Quick: TICKED / Interface: NONE / Direction: OUT / Protocol: TCP / Source: 127.0.0.1 / Dst: ANY / Dst Port Range: 80 / GW: Multiwan

                                            I think that rule is correct, appologies if I have it wrong!

                                            Thanks

                                            EDIT

                                            I have squid bound to LAN/CP1/CP2, all 3 interfaces have gateway also set to Multiwan in their respective rules, I dont know if thats relevant.
