Squid and SquidGuard not starting

KOM

Don't waste your time on Squid2. Use Squid3.

I've never seen a 'bungled' conf error before.

This is happening because squidguard on pfsense is adding redirect_program and url_rewrite_program params. The second one is fine for squid3 but it's not working with squid2.
Deleting url_rewrite directives from proxy Custom Options solves the problem untill next reboot. You can edit squidguard_configurator.inc on /usr/local/pkg to avoid this.

Well there you go. I don't use squid2.

Good Evening,

I experienced this same issue & researched it for a couple of months. I am currently running the current Squid3 with SquidGuard. Each time pfSense reboots, you must go into the Proxy Filter & re-download the blacklist. After the blacklist downloads, both Squid3 & SquidGuard will automatically come back to life. I have no idea why this is occurring or why this works, but it seems to do the trick.

Best-

Darren

It's strange

Yep, I had the same problem. You just need to create at least one entry under the Target Categories tab and then both services will start.
