          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

                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)

                            :)
