      Hi,

      I have a pfsense box 2.3.4-RELEASE (amd64) that I have two dsl lines (both wans) and I have two lans. One LAN is my home network. The other lan (CAM) is my ip wireless cameras. My home network has access to the camera network but the camera network can not surf the internet. Anyway, I'm not a network guru. But this is working well and would love to add to add a squid server without changing much to this install. I would love to use squid to speed up my internet. Because I'm not a network guru, but repair computers, I have a new computer using a dual core Intel 32 bit version of PFsense with two gigabit cards with 4gig of ram and a 1TB hard drive that I want to insert between my dual wan PFsense and my Switch.

      I want this setup if possible..  2DSL –> PFSENSE ---> 1LAN(homenetwork) --> New PFSENSE(SQUID) --> Switch(homenetwork)

      I've searched google but can't find a tutorial that will help me set up a standalone proxy server that I can plug into the "circuit" of my network. Your help is appreciated.

      Scott

        Me, I would make a transit network between the WAN pfSense and the proxy pfSense and disable NAT on the proxy. I would not try to put the same subnet on both sides of the proxy.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
