Fixing Squid Transparent Proxy on 2.0
-
I had an installation today where a 2.0 beta box with a new (today) install of Squid would NOT work with transparent proxy.
After digging, I found that the redirect rules were not being created.
I found that this setting under Advanced : Firewall/NAT :
_ Automatically create outbound NAT rules which assist inbound NAT rules that direct traffic back out to the same subnet it originated from.
Currently only applies to 1:1 NAT rules. Required for full functionality of NAT Reflection for 1:1 NAT.needed to be checked. Once I checked that and saved again (for the umpteenth time) my squid config, the redirect rules were created.
This is being posted to help others and in case it's a developer issue or bug.
Firewall had latest 2.0 firmware from today.

Thanks for sharing - I was holding off on testing 2.0 as Squid is a critical part of why we use pfSense. I have noticed there were tickets open on this issue, so perhaps posting to the 2.0 beta forum or actually responding to one of the open tickets would be helpful.

Squid+Transparent proxy should be fixed with current snapshots. It had nothing to do with that setting, but a different bug.
That may have made it work, but not for the right reasons.
