New HOWTO: pfSense Squid Web Proxy with multi-WAN links (it works!)
-
Hi!!
After following those guides, it does gives me interest to study pfsense deeply.
I'm running pfsense 2.0 RC2 (updated) squid + wan failover that for me is working. Just did it TODAY.
I did not set or use any rules (as in no rules are being used.)
I still need to monitor this over the weekend. I'd be happy to share it with you guys if this one works with my needs.
Like port forwarders and carp/pfsync.THank you for giving me encouragement!!
-
My floating rule is set. I also tried upgrading to the newest snapshot but it did not help. Please see attached for my settings. Thanks!
-
Edit the floating rule so that the interfaces and direction are also visible in the screenshots. That's the most important info there aside from what you've shown.
-
-
Check "quick" on that rule.
-
Tried that didn't work
-
duplicate the floating rule you made for http traffic, then modify it for dns (proto tcp/udp / port dns=53)
-
All ways not work.
we need standard way work with all , not for one.
very bad. -
Thanks Heper but that also did not work. I'm going to be deploying this later on with a different network (Right now I am just testing) with DNS servers on the LAN so maybe I'll have better luck in that environment. I'll post back as soon as this happens.
Many thanks.

Still couldn't get it to work.. failover works great if I don't have Squid running.
-
We need LoadBalancing and FailOVER! squid guys working faster please!

@DimitriS
Did you tested this setup in case of loadbalancing?
After my test it perfectly works in case of failover, but not when I set up loadbalancing between two gateways..
I tried to bind squid to loopback and LAN and only loopback, and works well only when gateways sets in failover.Michael
-
I agree with mbedyn, failover works but not loadbalancing.
-
Saw the same thing here. Fail-over yes, load balancing no.
-
same here no loadbalance only failover. Also the redirect error page in squidguard doesn't point to the redirect page.

Good Job

Hello.
For three days I'm trying to do this.
I tried and tried, but I can not get it to work.
I can not open web pages it opens and then stops and does not go more 'forward.
I attach a screenshot
As you can see I can not even do program updates.
If anyone can help me, I would do a big favor.
Thanks to all.
