      Thanks Shuon, this is very helpful. I'm suspecting I have something wrong with the firewall rule, I have a very simple limiter and squid setup, will do everything afresh and see.

      Update:
      I can confirm that squid + limiter works on 2.5.1, I couldn't get it working on 2.2 & 2.2.1…guess I'm going to stick with 2.5.1 for a while atleast until someones confirms this setup works with any newer version of pf.

      Thanks alot Shuon

                doktornotor  ,    Please Share the reason , why it is working on 2.1  and not in 2.2 .  I'm using squid 2.7.9 with pfsense 2.2.1 and facing the same issue.

                  Because it's broken. SIGDUH! If the devs knew what's broken where, they'd fix it.

                        Just a thought…. in 2.2.x they introduced Unbound as the default resolver.

                        Could it be related to that?

                        If changing DNS forwarder to the former one also available in the GUI, will it work??

                          Hmmm? Not really sure how's this related to unbound, or even any resolver at all? When I put limiters on a NAT firewall rule, the traffic stop flowing. As simple as that.

                              Ditch the proxy, or wait, or get debugging and coding.

                                Problem is at the same time transparent mode and traffic shapper doesnt works.
                                If i disable limiter then no block internet. But i enable limiter block internet.
                                Or i disable transparent mode and enable limiter then works fine but doesnt work filter.

                                What do I need to work both at the same time?

                                  Go re-read the previous reply a couple of times.

                                      I also noticed this yesterday. After limiters added to pass all rule and logging enabled, the rule blocks all traffic for that interface and fills up the System logs.

                                        Your "fills up the System logs" non-issue has nothing to do with the topic here. When you log ALL passed traffic, then yeah, your logs are going to fill up, limiters or not.

                                          This should be fixed in 2.2.3 snapshots.
