Will this be Fixed?
-
Hi All
On doing some research, I found out that squid doesn't work with a bridge. Is this something that can or may be fixed?
Is this a problem with squid, a pf problem or something else.Would a bounty provide an incentive?
Would reaally be nice if this could work.

it worked for me..

More specifically Squid can't run in transparent mode between bridged interfaces.

Squid running on a LAN bridge (e.g. LAN1+LAN2) may work so long as the IP address is on the assigned bridge interface and not a member interface.
Squid running on a "transparent" firewall (LAN+WAN bridge) isn't likely to work, as pf won't latch onto the traffic to redirect. That only works if pfSense is the gateway, and in that scenario, pfSense is not the gateway (and cannot be the gateway)

Ok thanks for the reply. So from what you have said, if I created a LAN bridge, gave the bridge interface an IP address and then configured all clients to use the bridge ip as their gateway, would that work then?
-
That's unlikely to work because the pfSense box will not route the traffic with only one IP.
You could do it if you don't have Squid in transparent mode.Steve
