      Did you enable it?  Even though it's running you have to check the enable squid proxy checkbox in Proxy Server>General>Enable Squid Proxy.

      Yes, I tried on only one interface - disabling transparent only - delete the package then nuking the folder from cmd
      I also did a clean install and tried it from scratch - then tried it loading my config.

      Nada.

      My other location still on 2.2.6 shows carp squid as a proxy when tested.

      I mean 2.3 is freaking amazing - just letting ya'll know i think squid is broken at the moment.

      Did you really check your cables?

        I got mine working fine squud+squid guard even updated…

        Do you use ACL, do you see the config you had before updating?
        Do you have dummy category on Proxy Filter? 
        Can you download blacklist?
        Did you try using backup from 2.2.6 on 2.3?

        Maybe you have other system variables that are making it worse?

          Nope nothing fancy, my gut tells me to mention that I'm using captive portal, though.  But I did try squid on a fresh install with no other packages and default only settings. 1 wan and 3 lans.

          Edit - if you run the dslreport.com/speedtest does it say you're behind a proxy?

          Did you really check your cables?

            Hello.

            https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=109733.msg610994#msg610994

            Ok after a couple of different methods to try and make it  work, uploading tar file, ungz , untar, create and delete folder, move thing s around,

            Frustrated I went to my original backup before updating to 2.3, restored it, enabled squid.

            And heres the magic, it appears I have to spam the download button (5+ clicks under 2 secs) in squidGuard>Blacklist>Download and tada, it started working.

            Hope this might help anyone with this specific problem,

            Cheers

            Its ok for me the "magic click" :)

            Thanks vagrant00

              I had the same problem of the blacklist not being able to be downloaded (Jumping back to 0% even after smashing the button repeatedly, 5 times in 2 seconds ) I was using Firefox… ended up trying it in Chrome and it worked fine on the first click. Blacklist update complete  ;D

                  I have 5 Pfsense Boxes running just basics with Squid and SquidGuard. I had the same issue with upgrading.  Here is what I did to fix it.

                  1. Uninstall both packages.
                  2. ssh into console

                  Delete these folders. ( I had to do rm -rf )

                  rm  /var/squid
                  rm  /var/squidGuard
                  rm  /logs/squid
                  rm  /logs/squidGuard

                  3. Reboot
                  4. Install Squid
                  5. Install SquidGuard
                  6. Reboot

                  Everything worked after that. All my settings were in tact and blacklist download worked. I tried reinstalling and it didn't work. I'm thinking there is a folder permission issue and by removing it all and deleting the folders it allows squid and squidguard to install fresh and set folder permissions correct. I always reboot anything to make sure it loads fresh and I don't get any surprises if later down the road when it doesn't boot up and by then I forgot what I did.

                  BTW. I use Squid and SquidGuard HEAVY. I have whitelist, blacklist, ACL's everywhere Groups, Common, Target Categories. All my settings fell right back in.

                  Worked for me. Thanks for this :)

                    Hmm..nothing works for me running on 2.3.1_p5

                    Removed the directories after deinstalling squidGuard…rebooted, reinstalled...just stops immediately when enabling:

                    07.07.2016 18:15:17	squidGuard stopped (1467908117.824)
                    07.07.2016 18:15:17	db update done
                    07.07.2016 18:15:17	squidGuard 1.4 started (1467908117.813)
                    

                    I might try a fresh installation on a spare pcengine gateway…

                      I've managed to make it work on all my machines by deleting the /var/squid/cache folder contents (rm -R /var/squid/cache/*) and then re-creating the folders with squid -z
                      Sometimes removing everything in the cache and then reinstalling squid and squidguard then running squid -z works. Be sure to check your system logs for errors.

                        Thanks this got it up and going for me as well. Interestingly this also seems to have solved the problems I was also having with the webgui crashing with 502/504 errors.

                            There is a command option under diagnostics. When you execute a command let it complete before giving it a new command.

                                First make sure the package is no longer installed and then…

                                chmod -R 777 /var/squid
                                rm -R /var/squid

                                    I'd look into using pfblocker for that and/or block it via DNS
