      For me, Squid3 under pfSense 2.2 never works until I reboot after installing it.  After that it works perfectly for me in standard mode.

        A stop service and start may do the same result as reboot.

              I have a same problem like Rickinfl.

              After go back to version 2.1-Release and to the same setting, it's working fine.

              How to get transparent Proxy work on version 2.2.1

              Thanks

                How to get transparent Proxy work on version 2.2.1

                The same way you do on squid3-dev on 2.1.

                check log files, squid -k parse, system logs on gui.

                  This is most frustrating. Broken since 2.2 and still no fix. This isn't user error. Many people report upgrading from a perfectly working pre-2.2 config and the find transparent proxy then simply DOES NOT WORK. I provided a lot of pointers to the problem being redirection rather than squid itself, but still no resolution.

                  Who's responsible for firewall redirection on i386?

                      Has this been fixed? I don't want to add this then end up rebuilding my pfsense to remove it again.

                      Thanks

                          The package uninstall/reinstall will keep settings. It just removes gui files and binaries.

                            CMB has posted a fix in another thread.

                            Pls. search the forum.

                            For me it worked fine.

                              Link please. There are a large number of threads on this issue, and if each could have a link to the solution posted that would save a lot of time.

                              Thanks,

                                I second this - I searched and can't find any fix described by CMB.

                                I use pfSense in a public facility that depends on transparent proxy support mainly for logging purposes, and after upgrading to 2.2.1 last week we've lost that. I've worked around it by setting up WPAD/PAC, but not all clients honor it (and it can be switched off by the user if they choose). As many others have stated, this is not a config issue or user error - the same setup that worked fine for years in 2.0 and 2.1 simply stopped working in 2.2.

                                      Even on Pfsense 2.2.3 Squid transparent proxy is not working. Still waiting for solution.

                                        Mine is working fine, I just finished the setup and AD Filter is doing well for multiple Interfaces (squidguard).

                                          Somewhere in forum posts, I saw people who are using traffic shaping limiter and transparent squid proxy facing this issue. Could you confirm that?

                                            It's broken allright.

                                            To make long story short - I've found out UI incorrectly configures http_port directive(s), and squid.conf has to be fixed manually.

                                            In regular forward proxy case (no transparent), at least one port directive needs to exist:
                                            http_port [ADDR:]3128

                                            In transparent proxy case, at least two port directives are needed:
                                            http_port 127.0.0.1:3128 intercept
                                            http_port ADDR:3128

                                            where ADDR is LAN interface address.

                                            Of course, that's not enough - something needs to intercept and redirect traffic to squid.
                                            Luckily, that's clickable, and generated rdr works just fine.
                                            Just make sure you click on correct interface(s) on Services->Proxy Server. (Use loopback as proxy interface if using transparent proxy)

                                            HTH
