      @Rickinfl:

      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

      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

                      @vagrant00:

                      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

                      It worked! :D
                      You saved me a lot of time.
                      Thank you!

                      Cheers
