      Squid will use your firewall wan address. Does this ip is able to use internet? Try on console links www.google.com

      I enabled the transparent proxy and I was still able to ping 8.8.8.8 from the webui. However, websites do not load.. Only google does..

          Maybe You had better to give some more details of your configuration:
          tutorial you followed…
          Squid settings...
          Log messages...
          etc...

            have you blocked any port? check that the 80 and 443 are open and accesible from the lan to the wan. Have you tried diferent browsers?. have you installed any package?

              This is the tutorial I followed.  ::)

              Squid settings are pretty much default. Only the few setings changed in the video are put the same on my install..

              No ports are blocked and Firewall in pretty much default as my install is very new. I can access the internet completely without the proxy and if I manually set the proxy it works as well. Only packages installed are Squid, Lightsquid and Squidguard

                There are know issues with squid package and pfSense 2.3.4 32 bits.  Is this setup you're using?

                    tutorial seems ok…
                    Did you check the system logs?
                    are services started?

                      The services are started! I'll enable logging of squid and see what it reports once I have time :)

                        Squid only has 3 log files available and they don't seem to tell alot about network traffic.. Here they are anyways: (3 cache log files)

                        cache.log.0.txt
                        cache.log.1.txt
                        cache.log.txt
