      I don't know where to start to fix this issue.  The only thing I have to go by is my browser says server not found for most sites.  I've been using this setup for about 2 weeks and this just started yesterday.

      It seems like a DNS issue.  I manually set 4 dns servers, 8.8.4.4, 4.2.2.6, 4.2.2.4, 8.8.8.8 and unchecked the over-ride box.

      I am running 2.2 and with squid for caching.  Nothing else has been changed.  Its on an older athlon 260 system.  I thought maybe squid was the problem and uninstalled it.  I have to reboot to fix the problem.

        Running DNS Resolver?

        Have you made sure DNSSEC is checked on the main tab and Harden Glue and Harden DNSSEC on the advanced tab are checked?

          DNS resolver is enabled.. it was by default.

          DNSSEC was checked, other two were not, but I checked and applied them now.  Will report back.

          Should it read 127.0.0.1 as a dns server above the other 4 on the status dashboard?  Not sure where that comes from.  I'm just a home user.. I want to end up pushing all my traffic through a vpn, but haven't got around to that part yet.

            When using DNSSEC it uses localhost as a resolver

              So this happened again after I reinstalled squid about 2 hours ago.  I swear it showed my 40GB drive as ~50% full and now it says 100% but I could be wrong.  I lowered the cache size to 2MB.. it was at 50MB.  We do stream video service.  Could this be the cause of the problem?  Even if it was full from streaming, it is supposed to delete files correct?  Should I blacklist streaming ips?

              It does seem like a caching issue.  I tried going to sites I don't ever use and they worked.  After reboot, sites only work once, then I cannot reload them.  I am going to leave squid uninstalled.  Does it remove the cache directory if I uninstall it?
