      to do so

      remove the squidGuard-squid3 version 1.4_7 pkg v.1.9.6

      and install squidGuard-devel 1.5_1beta pkg v.1.5.6 reconfigure it

      reboot and enjoy

        the SquidGuard dev version installed and it's running but still not filtering.
        I check the Squid setting and it reset the transparent proxy settings and SSL filtering.
        After Setting the squid proxy transparent settings, it works :)

          But squidGuard-Devel does not work with squid3 when I reboot the pfsense with squid-devel both are stopped, with Squidguard-squid3 the problem is that the service is stopped squidguard and the only way to start is to squidGuard -C all -d

              Hi,

              Same case here. We have a pfsense 2.2-RELEASE (amd64) built on Thu Jan 22 14:03:54 CST 2015. With the installed packages:

              squid3 -> 3.4.10_2 pkg 0.2.6
              squidGuard-devel  -> 1.5_1beta pkg v.1.5.6

              Transparent proxy mode on and the only way to make it work is to launch a blacklist update in the gui or in the shell with:
              squidGuard -C all -c /usr/pbi/squidguard-amd64/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf

              The the squidguard works well.

              Does anyone get this fixed?

              Bye.

                  Same issues. Squid crashing / stopping or squidguard not filtering.

                  Did a clean install today with exactly same results.
                  Infuriating as it is, I have an exact same setup running without issues.

                  not planning on touching either package with a 10foot pole for a while till they are stable.

                    I would prefer no to reinstall the whole system. I've tried to uninstall the packages delete al related files, reboot and reinstall and the problem persist  :(

                      Hi,

                      i've updated the system to the latest pfsense 2.2.1 and the problem persit  :( I've done a workarround by creating a file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ with the content:

                      !/bin/sh
                      /usr/pbi/squidguard-devel-amd64/bin/squidGuard -C all -c /usr/pbi/squidguard-amd64/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf &
                      /usr/local/sbin/squid -f /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/squid/squid.conf -k reconfigure

                      With this workarround the squid/squidguard is running after system (re)start.

                        Yep, did a full re-install and installed squid3 and squidguard-devel and all is working, except antivirus on squid3.

                        UPDATE: Clicked SAVE twice on antivirus settings of squid3, addressed stated config errors in red, and now antivirus is  working.

                        Snort, Squid3, and Squidguard-devel help contribute to make pfSense one hell of a firewall.
