      Hi !

      Using pfSense (2.1.5-RELEASE) & squid3 (3.1.20 pkg 2.1.2)

      Squid keeps crashing for no apparent reason.

      Things get real slow when browsing the Web so I go into
      pfSense > Status > Services
      And I notice squid is not running

      So I start it again, then web browsing is really fast, and then it crashes again a few minutes after.

      I've been messing around in the reverse proxy configurations so I don't know if this is related…

      I've been trying to find something relevant in the logs but the only logs I could find are those located under :
      /var/squid/logs
      and these are the addresses and websites which have been accessed

      I don't see any error message or such.

      Any help to diagnose the problem would be greatly appreciated!

        No reply and I couldn't solve the problem so I went removing the package.

        Just stopping the service didn't help… web browsing was extremely slow, that's why I tried removing the package completely and things got back to normal.

        Then I reinstalled the package and it kept all my previous configuration, and it started doing the problem again.

        Is there any way to make a clean remove and clean install of a package (or more specifically the squid3 package) ?

        Thanks!
