        It was already enabled and you're referring to this page?

        I like to fill my tub up with water, then turn the shower on and act like I'm in a submarine that's been hit!

              what version are you using?  ???

              I can see it on x86 and amd64 full hd install.

              squid
              squid-reverse
              squid3

              check both tabs.

              Available packages and Installed packages on system -> packages menu option

                I've checked it last night and it was empty. I've double checked it now it's still empty.
                /var/squid/logs that is

                  So change gui option to match your current dir.

                  If gui points to a dir that does not exists, maybe your problem is there.

                      I got to work!

                      Friendly guy jigp from IRC channel pointed me to enable Transparent proxy under General tab after that /var/squid/log/access.log started to populate.

                      Now I have to figure out how to cache youtube videos, ideas?

                      BTW thank you for your help!
