Configuring varnish amd64 pfsense 2.0
-
So I want to get Varnish working on pfsense 2.0.
I installed the package, and on backends I see nothign is there, if I add something it asks me for:
Do I actually need to put in anything? Because I have no idea what to put in for most of these settings.And to check if Varnish is working on the VarnishSTAT page, which i don't think it is, it just posts
VarnishSTAT Server logs as of Mon Dec 20 3:27:50 PST 2010
Here is the default configuration, is it already setup for me?
# Varnish configuration file # Automatically generated by the pfSense package system # This file is located in /var/etc/default.vcl sub vcl_error { set obj.http.Content-Type = "text/html; charset=utf-8"; synthetic {" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <title>"} obj.status " " obj.response {"</title> **We are very sorry but an error occurred during this request.** Please press refresh in your browser to try again. Varnish Error "} obj.status " " obj.response {" "} obj.response {" ### Guru Meditation: XID: "} req.xid {" "}; return(deliver); } sub vcl_recv { # If the client sent an X-Forwarded-For header, remove it. # It cannot betrusted. unset req.http.X-Forwarded-For; # Note that we don't need to add the client ip to the X-Forwarded-For # header, varnish will do that for us if (req.http.Accept-Encoding) { # Handle compression correctly. Varnish treats headers literally # not semantically. So it is very well possible that there are # cache misses because the headers sent by different browsers # aren't the same. # @see: http:// varnish.projects.linpro.no/wiki/FAQ/Compression if (req.http.Accept-Encoding ~ "gzip") { # if the browser supports it, we'll use gzip set req.http.Accept-Encoding = "gzip"; } elsif (req.http.Accept-Encoding ~ "deflate") { # next, try deflate if it is supported set req.http.Accept-Encoding = "deflate"; } else { # unknown algorithm. Probably junk, remove it unset req.http.Accept-Encoding; } } if (req.request != "GET" && req.request != "HEAD") { return(pipe); } return(lookup); } sub vcl_pipe { # If we don't set the Connection: close header, any following # requests from the client will also be piped through and # left untouched by varnish. We don't want that. set req.http.connection = "close"; # Note: no "pipe" action here - we'll fall back to the default # pipe method so that when any changes are made there, we # still inherit them. }
Sorry I know nothing about Varnish.
