Transparent squid-0.4.36_3 not working. Any help appreciated.

Pontiac_CZ

I confirm this behavior. I knew the transparent proxy did not work in pfSense 2.3 so I kept it off.

A while ago I upgraded to 2.3.3 (i386) and switched the squid on. I started to get timeout in web browser. Something is still wrong with the package.

Running Pfsense version 2.3.4 with squid 0.4.36_3, can confirm squid works only when in non transparent proxy mode

For me only HTTPS (with SpliceAll SSL/MITM mode) is not working in Transparent mode.

I do have the issue too for more than one year and no one trying to help.
I was hoping the new version would fix this but it's not the case

Indeed I managed to get it work as I stated here (you can find my conf also):
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=129450.0 (Pfsense 2.3.4 Squid 0.4.36_3 http/https (splice all)+ transparent mode + squidguard)

Instead I cannot get it work in NON Transparent mode. technicalicsti can you share your non transparent working conf?
Thanks

vielfede: I have read that thread but I am still sorf of confused. What was the key setting for getting the squid to work in transparent mode?

Still not working on 2.3.4 - I heard it is working on BETA 2.4 - is it true?

I have just upgraded to pfSense 2.3.4 and Squid 0.4.36_3.
Tried to switch the transparent proxy on but the communication on port 80 stopped as before.

Sorry, my mistake! I missed to clear proxy settings in client pc, hence I was suposed to use transparent mode. Indeed it does not!
Or better:

splice all + transparent mode: http works, https sometimes works and sometimes it does not, no idea about the causes
splice all + NON transparent mode works (flawlessly) http+https (you have to set proxy client settings)

Vielfede,
What about the "block page" while using HTTPS/Non-Transparent mode? Is it showing your "block page" normally? do you have your pfsense web-console using Https as well?
Thanks!
