      what date install do you use?
      i couldnt even install amd x64 version from 13 aug. 2010…

      than i download older version from 28. jul 2010 and installation passed with no probs.
      also i cant believe that i have issue with machines? with different machines? but again, maybe hardware is problem, both machines are amd 64.

      thanks for reply

              32? :)

              ok, i was talking that i have problems with 64bit version, and everyone who use 32bit version say they have no problems, so i follow, and reinstal to 32bit version…

              on install i had same stack up like with 64bit version
              message:
              BIOS DRIVE C: IS DISK 0

              and than installation hangs for a 10 min or so...

              i thought that on end of installation i will get same error as with 64bit version (that is why i switched to 28.jul install), but installation finished fine...

              installation of squid passed ok, only ehen i reboot pfs, it started uninstalation ???
              ok, reinstalled again, also install squidguard, and now both packages work.

              Now i have to run it for couple of days to see is there same problem that i have with 1.2.3. version.

              So definitely there is bug with 2.0 BETA 4 64bit install...

              coldfusion, thanks for reply

                  problem found in 2.0 beta 4 32bit
                  when i enable PPTP VPN, web filtering stops!

                  bug? :)

                  maybe same problem with 1.2.3.? i mean maybe is related?
                  Because i notice, that, after pfs receive connection to vpn, squidguard stops with filtering, but it is random, not every time.

                  any suggestions? comments?

                  thanks

                    I have been having the same probem with suid and squid guard.  It will work for a bit, then stop working all together.  Very frustrating.  I have tried so many times and things to fix it.  I gave up.

                    Good luck

                        Guys, I think I have a workaround for this issue. I had (hopefully HAD) the same issue. squidguard stops filtering and allows everything to go through every day or two.

                        Running 1.2.3 Release. Possible solution: I've ssh'd into the pfsense box, and I´ve set cron to kill squidguard 03:00 everyday. pfsense seems to restart squidguard automatically. Seems to work fine now!

                        Command: killall -9 squidguard

                        Simple as that. Let me know if that fixes for you guys as well.

                            I have too problem with squid+squidguard randomly stop filtering and pass all traffic.
                            (pfsense 1.2.3, squid 2.7.9_4, squidGuard 1.3_1 pkg v.1.9)

                            I find in filter log this message:

                            07.03.2011 06:07:45 going into emergency mode
                            07.03.2011 06:07:45 overflow in vsprintf (sgLogError): Unknown error:

                            in emergency mode squidguard according to documentation pass all traffic.

                            I think if squidquard package is by mistake buid without this patches (or one of them):
                            http://squidguard.org/Downloads/Patches/1.3/Readme.Patch-20091015
                            http://squidguard.org/Downloads/Patches/1.3/Readme.Patch-20091019

                            or is new similar bug.

                            I apologize for my English  :)
