      Hi All,

      I've been trying to find a post or documentation to divert HTTP traffic via my Linux server running squid proxy instead of installing and running squid on the pfsense gateway. Is that something I can achieve with a firewall rule on the LAN side ?

        You have to enter the proxy settings on everys host's brwoser or do this automaticall with "WPAD". So the clients route all their traffic to the proxy. To deny the clients to bypass the proxy bei editing the gateway manually, your should create a LAN rule which denys all traffic from the clients and only allows traffic to the internet from your external squid proxy.
