            You still using pfSense 2.1, it does not work because it floating rule does not work.

              i fixed it.

              create an acl with src and add ip list any text file (every ip per line) then set acl to wan/2 or wan/1 which you want
              add this acl to first line. that other acl's work all default gateway.
              regards

                i used  pfsense 2.0.3 and share your config or screen shots for better understanding, i m still struck in it :(
                waiting…

                  my version 2.1 64 bit
                  goto proxy server screen
                  and see custom options.

                  default is :

                  tcp_outgoing_address 127.0.0.1;;redirect_program /usr/pbi/squidguard-amd64/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/pbi/squidguard-amd64/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf;redirector_bypass off;url_rewrite_children 5

                  then add this string as your config

                  acl nameofacl src "/usr/local/etc/squid/ip.txt";tcp_outgoing_address X.X.X.X nameofacl;

                  nameofacl is what you will write of name its not important you can use any
                  X.X.X.X is your wan interface (not gateway)

                  "/usr/local/etc/squid/ip.txt" is ip list which you want to ip's going to which interface.
                  open any txt file. then write per line 1 ip

                  example:
                  192.168.1.40
                  192.168.1.41
                  192.168.1.42
                  etc…

                  no use /24 or /16 /8 for subnet

                  no need any floating rule .. its working perfect with squid 2.1 and squidguard
                  i think moderators change thread name to (fixed)

                    what happen when WAN PPPoE dynamic "tcp_outgoing_address X.X.X.X nameofacl"

                    for me it's not roundrobin/loadbalacing

                      A good contribution. But even if it works, it is not the same functionality we had before pfSense 2.1: Squid Outgoing connections balanced automatically between  WAN interfaces.

                      This is an important topic. Maybe the hero members can contribute with a final post: Can we have Squid working with multi WAN on 2.1? What are the required steps?

                      :)

                      Thanks.

                        Still Waiting to work squid proxy with 2.1 :(
                        the per ip list is fine but what to do if one wan connection goes down? it will still keep sending the request to failed wan :(
                        this is major bug! kindly update it as soon as possible

                        Thanks for all

                          Any news about fixing PfSense 2.1 to work with Multiwan+Squid, I'll need it and don't like to downgrade to 2.03.

                          Thanks for your comments

                              So far I was forced to downgrade to 2.0.3 to have squid working with multi-wan but I don't like the idea of losing the new 2.1 functionality.

                              Hero members: come and save us !!! (as usually they do)

                              :)
