Unofficial WPAD package for pfSense software
-
I have set this up. I am using squid transparent proxy. Unauthenticated users can access the internet by entering the squid proxy:port on all devices. Do you have a fix for this?
wpad will send squid proxy:port to the clients. You have to configure an authentication under squid to deny unauthenticated users to access the internet.
This is more a squid question then a wpad one. It's better to open a specific topic for it.

Should I set the webgui to https before running the script or it will make the change for me?

It seems that does not do the change for me. I had to do it manually.
Anyway, I am missing something, because I cant find the file on my browser.
I saw that the file is created in /usr/local/www/wpad0/ folder. It is named proxy.pac but has symlinks to wpad.dat and wpad.da
I tried to download the file by entering in the browser "http://pfsense/wpad0/wpad.dat" and tried "http://pfsense/wpad.dat", but get a "File Not Found" error in the browser.

Manual. Set it to https and disable web gui redirect

Http://pfsense/proxy.pac without the wpad0 dir
Right now I cant test it, but why enter http twice?
In debian webserver I dont have to do that to download the file -

Just tried to do http://Http://pfsense/proxy.pac. Did not work. Tried http://pfsense/proxy.pac, this worked. So the problem are the symlinks.

Since this was a test VM I went back before installing the wpad pkg. Make the webgui https before installing wpad. Installed wpad and did the config for one proxy.pac.
Tried again with http://pfsense/wpad.dat and it worked.
So actually is important to make the webgui https before installing.
Maybe there should be an abort message in the script making the advice to do the change before running the script in full.

The package will install but will not enable if you have https and redirect checkbox selected under advanced settings.
I'll include a test for http only configured firewall even if package description says it's useful to keep gui on https and have wpad on http.

@ Marcelloc, the package will not install after i run the : sh ./install_wpad_23.sh.
I get this when I run : sh ./install_wpad_23.sh fromthe root directory:
/root: sh ./install_wpad_23.sh

No. The package info on topic was updated before I had time to update the repo.
https://github.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/commit/97a00996dfa0ef4b8dc60e48e9ddbe399eebb7d8
I did it right now, so you can run the install script again.

Thank you marcelloc for creating this package. I've been keeping the vhost package alive on my box just for this purpose.
Question, do you know of a quick way to suppress logging to the syslog? Notice its getting filled up as clients are accessing it for the wpad file. I need to dig deeper (wireshark) to see what is really causing it but figured I'd ask since I'm not familiar with nginx

Thanks Cino! :)

Take a look on /usr/local/pkg/wpad_nginx.template file. Change the log destination to a local file for example.
# nginx configuration file user root wheel; worker_processes {$wpad_workers}; pid /var/run/nginx_wpad{$wpad_index}.pid; error_log syslog:server=unix:/var/run/log,facility=local5; events { worker_connections 1024; } . . .https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-logging-and-log-rotation-in-nginx-on-an-ubuntu-vps

thank you sir!
Would it be possible to insert the application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig MIME?
/usr/local/etc/nginx/mime.types
application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig pac; application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig dat; application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig da; -

sure! check if new version is fine with mime types.

I see what you did there. Smart, it doesn't touch the defaults. Suggestion, remove /t and add 4 spaces. This way its consistent with the rest of the file layout. I dont see any tabs.

Hi Marcelloc,
Can you possible give us a full install documentation of this https filtering using wpad. I mean the whole setup. I have not followed this topic since I am new here and I want to know more about this. Thanks

The first topic has the install instructions. I prefer enabling the Unofficial repo and installing it using GUI, then access services -> wpad and configuring it typing suggested default settings.
