PfSense Squid Proxy for Multi-WAN
-
Finally, after a long time trying pfSense Squid Package + Multi Wan and I have managed to find its way in a deadlock.
pfSense 2.1 Squid Package + Multi Wan, no longer using the Floating Rules, but using the Interface Groups.
Good Luck Everyone.![Interface Groups.jpg](/public/imported_attachments/1/Interface Groups.jpg)

Thanks, and congratulations!
What version of squid and squidguard are you using?
Please send a screenshot of your system->routing screen showing your default route.
-
Created the interface group, but how are you getting squid to use the group and not the default gateway?
-
Still configure the same as pfSense 2.0.3 Squid Package Multi Wan, only changes to the Floating Rules to Interface Group.

Thanks but I am not seeing where or how you have used the interface group.

Under Menu Interface

Hyrol,
Many thanks, but where I use the new "Internet" interface created at "Interface Groups", I don't like to abuse of your time, but could you resume how will be the new configuration?

afrugone,
What you mean, all configure same as pfSense 2.0.3 Squid Multi WANs, difference only Floating rules vs Interface Group. pfSense 2.1 not more using Floating rules for Squid Multi WANs.

OK I´ll try this,
Thanks

I've done as you said exactly but not working at all

Actually this is not Load-Balance Round Robin, this is Load-Balance Bandwith Agreggation and you can see all the WANs its working.
It is worth it from nothing.

Hi @hyrol,
The last LAN rule screenshot you posted actually bypasses the squid altogether and sends the traffic directly to the loadbalancer gateway group. That's how you're getting bandwidth aggregation (but not squid caching).
And the interface group "Internet" is not really playing any role anywhere.
So, in summary, this does not seem to be a working solution for 2.1.x for squid plus load-balancing or failover.

NOTE:
if you have problems with multi WAN (which may be the reason you look at this topic) you may find it senseless, because you browser can have problems with downloading images
SO SEE THIS TOPIC NOT VIA ROUTER YOU PLAN TO CONFIGURE :)
