Squid, SquidGuard, Lightsquid status on 2.3
-
And I was just going to ask this :)
-
I fixed some more issues in squid today and have a few notes for those who may be upgrading from 2.2.x or earlier to 2.3 and having problems:
1. Make sure that the most current version of the squid package is loaded (>= 0.4.12)
2. Clean up leftover PBI messes:
find / -type l -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l | egrep '(squid|perl|pbi)'Remove any symlinks still pointing to PBI dirs, especially things like perl, lightsquid, perl5, etc.
For example:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 39 May 7 2015 /usr/bin/perl -> /usr/pbi/lightsquid-i386/local/bin/perl lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 45 May 7 2015 /usr/local/etc/lightsquid -> /usr/pbi/lightsquid-i386/local/etc/lightsquid lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 40 May 7 2015 /usr/local/lib/perl5 -> /usr/pbi/lightsquid-i386/local/lib/perl5 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 45 Nov 5 10:32 /usr/local/www/lightsquid -> /usr/pbi/lightsquid-i386/local/www/lightsquid3. Blow away the cache:
mv /var/squid/cache /var/squid/cache.old squid -z rm -rf /var/squid/cache.old/pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/squid -z -f /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf' returned exit code '1', the output was 'FATAL: getpwnam failed to find userid for effective user 'squid' Squid Cache (Version 3.5.12): Terminated abnormally. CPU Usage: 0.018 seconds = 0.018 user + 0.000 sys Maximum Resident Size: 50000 KB Page faults with physical i/o: 0' -
That's a new one. Uninstall the package and install it again. The pkg code adds that user on install, or it's supposed to anyhow

It mostly worked for me. I was able to install freeradius but squid returned an error. Did you catch it in my other post?

Lightsquid is broken in many ways (see the earlier posts in the thread) – no hope of it working util we fix up nginx for CGI.
-
Fired up a test vm with a clean 2.3 install, squid appears to be working as long as I disable clamav and c-icap.
I seriously lack time lately, after a (really) quick check it doesn't seem to build the .sock file and it probably misses something else.
I think you guys are well-aware of it but I'll be happy to provide more info as soon as I can if needed.Thank you once again for the awesome job you keep doing.
See ya! -
We've made no attempt to test or work on clamav or c-icap, just the base functions of the forward proxy currently.
-
When ever i turn on Transparent HTTP Proxy i couldn't browse any website , but there is no problem if i use explicit proxy .
Any one have the same issue ???
-
I can't use transparent or adding it to my system direct. They both fail. Looks like a few of us having the problem but no cause or solution yet to my knowledge.
-
Clean install, restore configs, problem remains.

What does this mean? It's fixed in 2.3 final right?

I can confirm that, the transparent proxy does not work

The package version has no relation to 2.3 "final", it could be changed before or after release. Hopefully, before. It just means it isn't working or isn't tested now. The functions I stated we didn't work on may work fine, we just haven't tested them because they're not functions of squid we intend to "officially" support at this time.
Others are free to test and submit fixes as needed if they want, though.

Reading threads from older versions of pfSense, it sounds like this is a known issue, but I wanted to report that I am also having issues with the transparent proxy and getting "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE" on Chrome. However, my observation has been that everything works fine when the DNS response is still hanging around from the last time I visited the page (read: squid was off). To me, this might suggest that Squid is either having a hard time talking to the dns server (isn't pointed a the local machine/general DNS settings), squid isn't giving dns enough time to respond (timeout setting too short), or there's some conflicting setting between squid and dns.
-
There's a workaround for the transparent proxy issue in https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/5869
chgrp squid /dev/pfProper fix to come.
-
Work around confirmed working on my end! Squidguard also functioning now that squid is responding. Thank you!!!
Now I await the return of Lightsquid for reporting but for now the important part of content filtering has returned!
