      That's good to know. For URL filtering, I would suggest giving the package pfblockerNG-devel a try. It's very easy to setup, very effective and doesn't require squid. SSL filtering via squid can cause problems, so avoiding it if possible would be best.

        I did considered pfblocker but the thing is... I have several subnets with different kinds of web access permissions, Maybe I did not looked for the whole information... but... Is it possible to set this kind of web access groups?

            How many users in your environment? You are probably having an issue with a low number of rewrite & SSL child threads. Look into sslcrtd_children and url_rewrite_children which are configured under Services - Squid proxy server - General - Advanced Options - Integrations.

                What do you mean? You already had those set, or you just set them now?

                          @la6er said in Squid random disconnects random webpages:

                          err_ssl_protocol_error

                          Post the squid access.log details from the time that the error happens. You may need to increase the default level of logging via the debug_options directive.

                              currently the main issue looks to be sites related to google, but sometimes if I wait just a few minutes without doing anything they work after I refresh

                                A 409 is a conflict. Strange. I don't have a definitive answer for you but start by Googling 'squid 409 conflict err_ssl_protocol_error'

                                  I have, I disabled 2 different things on my browsers, and so far looks stable, but it means I have to do that on over a 1000 pcs

                                    Does the problem occur when the proxy is running in explicit mode? I've always hated transparent mode for the issues it has always caused me. Explicit + WPAD has worked for me for years now.

                                      I indeed have it configured using transparent mode, everytime I tried using WPAD it does not let me download the files on the browser so I asummed it is not working properly in that way

                                        The wpad.dat and proxy.pac files must reside on an HTTP server, not HTTPS. They must have correct contents. Clients on your network must be able to resolve wpad.your.domain.

                                          what if my computer does not have any domain? I have set the files on another pfsense solution with the following script

                                          function FindProxyForURL(url,host)
                                          {
                                          return "PROXY 10.30.251.61:3128";
                                          }

                                          they are located on usr/local/www/ but if I set autodetect proxy it does not work, if I set manually http://10.30.251.59/proxy.pac (which is the ip of my http pfsense) on my browser it does not work, however if i set manually the proxy conf on the browser it works perfectly, I have set a host override on my dns resolver, and I am also using static ips on my clients

                                            WPAD relies on DNS having an entry for wpad on the default domain. I believe you can use a workgroup in place of a domain if you're using Windows clients. I haven't tried it but if you truly have no domain nor workgroup, you could still create an A record for wpad on your DNS and point it to pfSense LAN IP.
