I tried uninstalling and reinstalling squidguard with no luck. I will try a rebuild now. Could this have something to do with HYPER-V?

KOM

I doubt it. Hypervisor issues are almost always related to hardware. Why did you have to create the log dir? SquidGuard logs are normally in /var/squidGuard/log/squidGuard.log.

I made the directory since that is where the output from squidGuard -b -C all was looking for it.

Weird. I also notice you're running squid 2. It shouldn't affect your problem, but I would recommend running squid3. 2 is ancient and doesn't support a lot of the newer directives and web tech.

I installed squid 3. I have not used squid 2 in a long time.

It was the OP that was running squid 2. Seems like we both had the same problem with squidGuard though. I will post back after trying a clean install.

I had to uninstall SquidGuard , because it is production environment and can not do testing .
is there any way to achieve content and url blocking, without squidgurad .
I'm not using squid 3 , becuase it makes my cpu usage 99% (16 Gb ram , 8 cores , Intel Xeon)

KOM

is there any way to achieve content and url blocking, without squidgurad

You could try DansGuardian or E2Guardian.

Ok Sir , I'll try to test the mentioned packages and update you .
Right now i have done blocking on squid level itself for you-tube etc .

@KOM:

Squid2 is years old already. You should be using squid3.

I have installed Squid 3.4 , and running in Transparent Mode, I 'm able to see the SSL intercept option in GUI .
Can you please put some light on this feature (is there any change required on LAN PC's in terms of certificate import etc )
