Installed Squid and Squidguard but it's not filtering.

[Guest]

check your logs, specifically the squid and squidguard logs to ensure that squid is seeing the requests and that the squidguard redirectors aren't crashing or otherwise erroring out.

[nambi]

I reinstalled the packages, squid, then squidguard

made sure all logs

Enable log is checked
Check this for enable log.

then I go to the last tab

and it shows

Log type
squidguard_log report disabled

[dvserg]

@nambi:

Log type 
squidguard_log report disabled

Enable this option and look this log for error messages.
Check squidGuard servicxe status.

[nambi]

It IS checked, services are also running, I did not setup any ACL's I removed them I thought this may be the issue so I only have General ahd Default Tab configured.

Thanks

Be sure, what you browser configured for proxy use.
And show you squidGuard config (look last Page/Tab)

[nambi]

My browser settings are Default just as it was before when it worked.

In Default Tab you setup default rule (last rule) to deny -> result: you clients can't browse sites.
Setup this rule as allow - this mean what you allow All sites, but deny blacklisted sites.

[nambi]

Thank you but this i recently switch so I could see if PF sense would actually block access. but it did not even with this set.

Now I set it to allow and no it is still not filtering,  Could this be a file permission problem?

Thank You,

Not sure, permissions check each time while you configure SG.
Please do this :

• disable squid transparent mode if you use.
• delete Bypass Proxy option in squid (if you enter this option)
• check squid selected interface / to be sure /
• enter to you browser proxy option as squid configured (PFSenseLanIP:Port) (192.168.1.1:3128)

• in squid Custom options change redirector_bypass on -> redirector_bypass off

How browse sites now ?

[nambi]

Sorry to pester you with this, when I Installed squid and squid guard I had only setup the "proxy filter area" I did not change any of the "proxy server" side, should I be? or do the default settings work?

Also when I try to change a few settings under proxy server I get an error saving stating.

The following input errors were detected:

* The field 'Log store directory' is required.
    * The field 'Proxy port' is required.
    * You must start log location with a / mark
    * That is not a valid log location dir

This is because I had never initially set this up.  Would this be the problem?

Thank You
Thank You
Thank You!

it's working now, it was the settings I omitted in the proxy server area which prevented the blocking to work.

though these settings are enabled, and if they are not the blocking is bypassed

• squid transparent mode if you use.
• Bypass Proxy option in squid (if you enter this option)

I also set the port you specified, can you use any port or is 3128 what is recommend?
