      If you mean proxy server settings
      Then yes

      I did not find any similar settings
      in the Squid Guard tab

        Anything that silently intercepts an HTTPS session will trigger a browser Man in the Middle attack warning unless you have distributed the pfSense server certificate to all your clients.  You can avoid this by either installing the cert on every client PC, tablet, phone, etc etc, or stop using Transparent mode.

            If they were going to an HTTP site then it would work without any errors.  Where were these clients going when they did/didn't work right?

              Accesses the same sites - google.com, walla.co.il, ynet.co.il,
              I did not check more sites
              Because it's not my computer (do not have much access to it)
              It's my sister

              Update
              Two computers back to work correctly
              Only one causing problems (my sister computer)
              And there is not at all the sites

                It could be that for the other computers, someone added the pfSense cert to the list of Trusted certificates.

                    Run IE and go to Options - Content - Certificates.  Look for a cert from either pfSense or Electric Sheep Fencing (ESF).

                      I checked all computers (5 computers)

                      The certificate does not appear in any of them

                        Well then, I don't know what to tell you.  You have one computer with a problem.  I doubt it's pfSense or Squid.  The one computer that has the problem is so old, it may not have the proper Root Certificate updates from Microsoft.  Chrome and IE share the same certificate store, whereas Firefox uses its own.  Try running Firefox on the XP box and see if that is any different.

                          I'll try

                          Clarification
                          the computer is old old
                          the operating system is old

                          Update from yesterday
                          But it was already too late and I turned off my computer

                          The computer in question was one hour ahead

                          I set the computer time and date accurate
                          And now

                          Only two sites inaccessible
                          And show the same message as before
