[SOLVED]SquidGuard with HTTPS

Yann Richard

Hello,

Iam currently trying to set up a squid proxy with filter on PFSENSE. My objective is too allow access only to some URLs, for example google.fr.

With my configuration i can execute "wget google.fr" without any problem, but if i try to get this same url in https (https://google.fr), I get "Gateway Time Out: Unable to establish SSL connection" from my proxy.
In SquidGuard ACL, if I allow "all" I will be able to get my URL in https.

I have no idea of what to do now, below my configuration for squid server and squid filter.

squidGuard relies on squid. How do you have squid configured? Which version of pfSense & squid? Are you running in explicit or transparent mode? If transparent (boo!), are you intercepting SSL?

Yann Richard

thanks for this responses.

Iam running squid v2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.6 and squidGuard v1.9.14.

Squid configuration is stated in my first post, other than that i did the minimum and didn't see any mention of SSL interception in the GUI.
I'm working in transparent mode but it wouldnt be a problem at all to switch to non-transparent. (I already tested it to check if it wasnt the problem).

Which piece of configuration would be useful ?

OK

Don't use squid2. Use squid3. Squid2 is ancient and broken for some things.
Don't use transparent mode. Use explicit mode in conjunction with WPAD. Make sure to block ports 80/443 on LAN so that the proxy use is enforced.
Make sure your clients are set to autodetect the proxy. This has been the default in Windows for many years. Android may have to be set manually.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. In fact I downloaded the package from PFsense GUI, i had no idea i could get a more up-to-date version (or how, but this can be fixed).

My clients are in fact linux server, my goal being the access to some webservices exposed on the web for my applications.

Thanks,

Yann Richard

OK, so I set squid3 up.

But still the same error : "unable to establish SSL connection".
I tried to enable SSL Interception aswell but I'm not sure it does what i want, no transparent proxy, no idea…

Yann Richard

Okay problem solved :

the key was to declare urls in Domain List rather that URL list. It works now.

thanks for your help !
