Squid3 only reports TCP_MISS, never TCP_HIT

rocketdog · Mar 2, 2015, 12:40 PM

Hi!

I recently installed squid3 (pfSense 2.2).

I've been following some guides, tweaks etc, but when I look at the logs, and Realtime (Servces->Proxy Server->Realtime), all requests are TCP_MISS…Not one single TCP_HIT.

This is how it is configurated at the moment:
General
Proxy Interfaces: Bridge (Lan+Wifi)
Allow users on interface: On

Transparent Proxy interface(s): Bridge (Lan+Wifi)
Transparent Proxy: On

Local cache
Low-water-mark in %: 90
High-water-mark in %: 95
Enable offline mode: Off
Hard disk cache size: 5000 (mb)
Hard disk cache system: UFS
Minimum object size: 0
Maximum object size: 512000 (kb)

Memory cache size: 0
Maximum object size in RAM: 32 (kb)
Memory replacement policy: Head GDSF
Cache Dynamic Content: On

All the other stuff available I havent touched at all, such as: Antivirus, ACL, Auth, Traffic MGMT etc.

Help would be much appreciated.

Squid as a caching platform is of limited use these days due to the dynamic nature of the web. My tests show that my hit rate is in the area of 3-7%. Not very good, but I use Squid more as the base for filtering with SquidGuard.

SSH in and run this command:

squidclient -h pfSense_LAN_IP_Address -p 3128 mgr:info

and look for Cache information for Squid

Her eis a sample of my output:

Cache information for squid:
Hits as % of all requests: 5min: 0.7%, 60min: 1.1%
Hits as % of bytes sent: 5min: 67.8%, 60min: 51.4%
Memory hits as % of hit requests: 5min: 0.0%, 60min: 12.5%
Disk hits as % of hit requests: 5min: 62.5%, 60min: 22.0%
Storage Swap size: 459662 KB
Storage Swap capacity: 89.8% used, 10.2% free
Storage Mem size: 87208 KB
Storage Mem capacity: 34.3% used, 65.7% free
Mean Object Size: 42.29 KB
Requests given to unlinkd: 255644

1% hit rate over the past hour. 1%.

I could play with various Squid settings and refresh_pattern definitions to try and improve it, but I have a fast link and tons of capacity.

squidclient -h pfSense_LAN_IP_Address -p 3128 mgr:info

Hi!

This command gives me a bunch of html-code, and when I run```
squidclient -h 192.168.0.1 -p 3128 mgr:info >> test.php

KOM · Mar 2, 2015, 4:25 PM

Just SSH in and run the command as given or do it via Diagnostics - Command Prompt.

rocketdog · Mar 2, 2015, 5:23 PM

@KOM:

I've tried that too, it is as if squid is blocking the LAN ip.

Edit: I believe I used the wrong IP earlier, however, now when I am using the new IP it results:

[2.2-RELEASE][admin@gate.ninya.org]/usr/local/www: squidclient -h 192.168.0.1 -p 3128 mgr:info >> test.php
client: ERROR: Cannot connect to 192.168.0.1:3128: Operation timed out

I've doubled checked, and the port is correct.

Edit 2:

Even this times out:

squidclient mgr:info
client: ERROR: Cannot connect to [::1]:3128: Operation timed out

You're sure that Squid is running??

rocketdog · Mar 3, 2015, 1:25 PM

@KOM:

AFAIK, yes. And according to ps -aux.

KOM · Mar 3, 2015, 2:06 PM

I've never seen that before. You have Squid listening on port 3128? Any thing of note in your System log?

rocketdog · Mar 3, 2015, 2:50 PM

Yes, it's on 3128.. forgot to say that it is listening on a bridged interface. Could that be the reason it's "time outing"? I haven't opened any ports or so.
The only rules I have is to let the Bridge to WIFI and LAN net.

KOM · Mar 3, 2015, 6:10 PM

I can't imagine that bridged mode would affect the squidclient running on the local server.

Do you have anything in Services - Proxy server - Local Cache - External Cache-Managers? If not, try putting 127.0.0.1; LAN_IP_Address there, save and see if it makes a difference. For example, I use:

127.0.0.1; 10.10.4.1

where 10.10.4.1 is my pfSense LAN IP address.

where 10.10.4.1 is my pfSense LAN IP address.

External Cache-Manager was empty, added my IPs now tho..

I've noticed that when I google something, and hit a link, it takes +30 seconds to leave Google for the new link.. What could be the reason for this?

Edit: And how do I get rid of the local hits on "Real Time"? I have added the WAN and LAN IP at "Do not cache", but it still floods 'squid_monitor_data.php'

KOM · Mar 11, 2015, 5:29 PM

Usually long delays in the cache process are due to DNS issues. Shell in and run:

squidclient -h Your_pfSense_LAN-IP -p 3128 mgr:info

For for Median Service Times section. Look for long delays relative to the other counters.

I don't have an answer to your real-time question.

I dont know if this is good or bad? Do you want to look for more info?
Some sites (like Google, and Wikipedia in particular, as I said before) can really be a b*tch sometimes..

rocketdog · Apr 14, 2015, 11:43 PM

I am bumping the post above:

Is the result of that info good or bad? I am not really that familiar with squid3 yet, and not sure how to tweak it.

KOM · Apr 15, 2015, 12:20 AM

Nothing really out of the ordinary. It really depends on what you're loading. For instance, you can go to a site like CacheFly and download one of their 1 or 10 MB test files, and do it again and watch it come out of the cache. But for websites these days there is a lot of dynamic content that is generated on the fly, with file names that change based on hashes, or web mechanics that force reloading or prevent caching, etc. I must admit that I've never seen a zero before for hits if there is web activity for a reasonable amount of time.

If you really want to know, check your access.log(s) in /var/log/squid and search for hits there. The manager info display only shows the last hour of data.

periko · Apr 15, 2015, 2:58 PM

I have seen cases like this one, the fix have been most of the time re-create cache dirs…

Before first stop squid, next delete cache dirs and finally create again the cache dirs.

squid -k

Test, test, test.

TIP: Don't use UFS is really old use AUFS.

Memory cache size: 0
This is the amount of physical RAM (in megabytes) to be used for negative cache and in-transit objects. This value should not exceed more than 50% of the installed RAM. The minimum value is 1MB.

Up this to at least some value other than 0.

Hello again, and sorry if I bump this thread, but I can't get this out of my head.
I just recently installed a 120GB HDD, using it for squid-cache. I changed some settings to;

Low-water-mark in %: 90
High-water-mark in %: 95
Enable offline mode: Off
Hard disk cache size: 95000 (mb) (was 5000)
Hard disk cache system: UFS
Minimum object size: 0
Maximum object size: 2048 (kb) (was 512000)

Memory cache size: 1647 mb (was 0 mb)
Maximum object size in RAM: 32 (kb)
Memory replacement policy: Head LFUDA (was HEAD GDSF)
Cache Dynamic Content: On

When I do cat /var/squid/logs/access.log | grep HIT , 99,99% of the HITs are http://www.google.com/cast. It feels like I missed something important.

@rocketdog:

Edit: And how do I get rid of the local hits on "Real Time"? I have added the WAN and LAN IP at "Do not cache", but it still floods 'squid_monitor_data.php'

I was able to stop this by adding a proxy exception for the firewall IP on the windows computer I'm using.
(Internet Properties -> Connections -> LAN settings -> Advanced)

As for no HITS, I found that binding squid to localhost caused it to MISS everything. Removing the localhost binding caused squid to start functioning correctly again. No idea why….

I also found that squid didn't like to use the disk cache at all until it was rebuilt. I probably re-booted the router while the initial creating of directories was happening... I used:


squid -k shutdown
squid -z -S
