          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

                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.
