      Also pleased to report that enabling antivirus is working too! I attempted to download the eicar.txt file and it was blocked with a virus warning as it should be!

      Only thing left I notice is on the realtime log page.

      Message

      Everything else looks good to my knowledge.

        Work around did not survive a reboot. Reapplied and things work again. Just an FYI.

          That's expected, it's just a temp workaround.

            New revision of the squid package is up now for testing. If you did the chgrp work around you need to change it back to 'proxy' or reboot before upgrading the package.

              Rebooted, updated squid package. Seems to be ok. Content filtering and virus scanning are working.

                  I'm noticing that between the 12-24hr mark, DNS issues return. Timing has seemed relatively inconsistent and I haven't really narrowed down any possible causes just yet.

                  Here's what I've observed so far:
                  I restarted unbound, and the issue persisted.
                  I disabled squid and the issue went away.
                  I re-enabled squid and everything stayed good.

                  Next time, I'll check the squid logs and restart the service and report back.

                    Update on Lightsquid: The package now runs in its own web server instance using lighttpd, on its own port and with password protection. It was the smoothest way to get perl cgi support without dragging extra dependencies into base.

                    Note there are some subtle changes to navigation in the package.

                      There is a port issue when you click Lightsquid. I see myip:9000:7445

                        I'll look into that.

                          Also nothing happens if I hit refresh buttons.
                          It seems like it is working but I have no data in the logs.

                          When I: /usr/local/www/lightsquid/lightparser.pl from console, data appears.
                          In logs I have: /pkg_edit.php: [lightsquid] Parsing today's entries in access.log using '/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/www/lightsquid/lightparser.pl today'

                          There has to be something wrong here…

                            Oh and one more thing..

                            If I manually do: /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/www/lightsquid/lightparser.pl today
                            This is in the crontab.

                            Output is /usr/bin/perl: Command not found.

                              I fixed the perl path (should be /usr/local/bin/perl) and fixed the parsing of the link with the port.

                                I split the unrelated hit % posts off into their own thread and cleaned up the references here.

                                  One more thing:

                                  a) After reboot Lightsquid Web Server wont come up b) Starting it from status_services.php wont start it
                                  c) Saving settings in pkg_edit.php?xml=lightsquid.xml will start it.

                                  :)

                                          That`s odd.
                                          I cleared browsers cache and now it starts correctly.

                                            Turns out that my issues are symptomatic of packet loss with my ISP and nothing to do with pfsense.
