WPAD questions and problems

KOM

Because something isn't working. If the browser is set to auto-detect, then it will try to go straight out the gateway. If it can't, then it tries to detect the proxy using WPAD. When you unblock LAN, it can go straight out. When you block LAN, it can't go out so it tries to detect the proxy and use it. This is where your problem is. Either the browser isn't detecting the proxy at all, or it is and the proxy isn't working. Is your WebGUI using HTTP or HTTPS? If I remember, you can't use pfSense under HTTPS to host the WPAD file.

you can't use the default lightppd intstance to serve the WPAD file, its tied up to port 80 for serving webconfigurator stuff. You need the second lightppd instance. If you webconfigurator is running on port 80 and not a custom port you won't be able to bind it so you need a custom port for the webconfiguator lightppd instance in order for the second lightppd to server the file on port 80.

whats the output of "ps aux | grep "light"?

you can't use the default lightppd intstance to serve the WPAD file

I'm fairly sure that you can, considering that's exactly how I'm doing it and that's how it's documented ;D

From WPAD Autoconfigure for Squid

"Now upload that file to pfSense or another locally accessible web server with scp, or create it using the built-in file editor. The file must go in /usr/local/www/…"

Port 80 isn't "tied up" with WebGUI. It will serve the GUI as the default page, but if you give it an explicit URL then it will serve anything, including wpad.dat.

yes, you are right, sorry. I dont allow HTTP to my pfsense box. I'll keep out of it, you carry on….I suspect you are nearly there :)

KOM

yes, you are right, sorry.

Hey, no problem. I've never let a lack of knowledge or incorrect information stop me from trying to help someone. Even when I am wrong (and I've been wrong in these forums many times), I learn something. It bruises the ego a bit, but you become better for it. Thanks for contributing. A community is only as strong as its members.

MrGlasspoole

Step by step…

Forget the wpad for a while.
What i was saying is:
If i enable the firewall rule to block http and use 192.168.0.1:3128 (not wpad) in the browser then the internet stops working.
If i disable the rule then it works again and uses the proxy.

KOM

If you block 80/443 and manually set your browser to use the proxy at the specified address:port and nothing works and you're positive you didn't make a typo, your Squid install is broken. Look in your System log, as well as /var/squid/logs/access.log and cache.log.

Can you please remind me as to what version of pfSense and Squid you are using?

MrGlasspoole

Ok, found out something.
The whole time i was just using google for testing.
But this time i used another site and it's just HTTPS (google) that is not working if i enable the firewall rule.
HTTP works with pointing the browser to address:port.
BUT if i set the browser to auto-discovery then also HTTP is not working.

pfSense 2.2
squid3 3.4.10_2 pkg 0.2.6

KOM

Do you run IPv6?

MrGlasspoole

IPv6 is none in LAN and WAN.

And the output of ps aux | grep "light" is:

root    17216   0.0  0.3  50796   5888  -  S    12Feb15     0:25.97 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/
root    89081   0.0  0.2  40392   4416  -  S    12Feb15     0:21.07 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/

root    49032   0.0  0.1  18884   2356  0  S+   10:13AM     0:00.00 grep light

As i said i use the vHost package to host the wpad that i can run the WebGUI over HTTPS
but don't need a certificate for the wpad.

Tomorrow when i have time i will make some tests step by step with checking the logs after every step.
But today i have a date and no time ;-)

KOM

Good luck on your date 8) :-*

MrGlasspoole

Ok time to get it working.

Blocking https and using the proxy does not work.
This is what happens if the browser is set to the proxy and http and https are blocked in Firewall > Rules > LAN:
http = YES working
https = NO does not work

KOM

You have it set to standard mode (not transparent)? You do NOT have it set to intercept SSL? You have a wpad.dat file accessible via an HTTP server that can be found by a DNS lookup of wpad.yourdomain?

MrGlasspoole

I'm just looking to get https working if i block it in the firewall without looking a the wpad (proxy ip/port manually set in the browser).

Transparent HTTP proxy = unchecked
HTTPS/SSL interception = unchecked

Your settings look good but I notice that squidGuard is in the mix. OK, sometimes these weird issues with squid can be fixed with a reboot, so I would do that first. Next, I would look at /var/log/squid/access.log and see what's happening. Also look at cache.log for any obvious errors. Lastly, I would get rid of squidGuard to make sure it isn't interfering. Mare sure when you're testing to do a force refresh with ctrl-F5 or whatever your browser uses.

MrGlasspoole

Ok I first deleted the logs to get fresh ones and restarted.
After blocking 80/443 and accessing one http and one https site i get this:
/var/squid/logs/access.log

I did shorten the cache.log because:

/usr/local/bin/squidGuard: can't write to logfile /var/log/squidGuard/squidGuard.log
New setting: logdir: /var/squidGuard/log
New setting: dbhome: /var/db/squidGuard

is repeated multiple times?

And no https shows up in the log.

Also find out that if i block port 80 that i can't access my wpad.dat

http://wpad.mydomain.net/wpad.dat

@MrGlasspoole:

Pretty obvious ;)
You must have some granularity and control in the way you allow or block prtocols, especially if you have services running at FW level (like HTTP server)
This can be easily achieved, e.g. by adding rule before the one denying access so that access to FW on port 80 (in order to access wpad.dat) is authorized.

/usr/local/bin/squidGuard: can't write to logfile /var/log/squidGuard/squidGuard.log

Why is this happening? Are you out of disk space?

Start small and build up. Get WPAD and just Squid working, then move on to squidGuard.

@chris4916:

Not to me cause i thought the FW just blocks stuff going out to the Internet (WAN)

@chris4916:

Can you explain what to do?
You can see my settings in the attachment above.
If my thoughts are right to i need to put port 80 to the Anti-Lockout Rule?

No "ufs: 23% of 18G"

It already was pain to get it running: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=87591.0
Is there a way to temporarily disable squidGuard?

Uncheck the Enable box?
