Squid blocking external visitors to our websites (Solved)

smicschool · Dec 17, 2015, 1:49 PM

I'm running pfSense 2.2.4 with Squid 3.4.10.

Squid is working but it would block external visitors to our websites (displays the standard squid error page).

How to I let visitors in? (I don't want to use reverse proxy now if possible, I just hope to get one thing working at a time)

I have googled for several hours to no avail.

Thank you!

BY default, squid will only act as a web cache of the public Internet for your LAN users. In that scenario, I don't know how squid would be blocking external users on WAN from accessing your web site. Did you enable the reverse mode settings?

I cannot see how on earth is Squid involved here unless you produced some giant PEBKAC such as transparent Squid on WAN.

Thank you all! Much much appreciated!

Yup, that's it, I selected my WAN's in my proxy interface setting which is wrong.

OK, good that it works now. :)
