      We are in a school (so local filtering at concil level)

      we went to be able to use our adsl line via proxy. (everything is proxyied anyway)

      Ive set up a box with pfsense on it

      ive set up the WAN and Lan connections

      ive installed SQUD and config it.

      I changed my proxy settings in internet explorer (to its ip address) and port to 80

      I was getting DNS Bindind errors (now turned that off.)

      Now when i go to www.bbc.co.uk it asks me to log in to the box and brings up pfsense status,

      Please help :(

        Squid is probably running on port 3128, not 80. The GUI is probably on 80.

        Check/change squid to be on port 3128, and configure your browser's proxy settings to use port 3128 and not 80 for the proxy.
