            @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.

                                lets asume that is working properly.... my browser behavior will be... ask for the file, go to 10.30.251.59/proxy.pac and then overwrite it's own configuration with the proxy info I have set, correct? in this case 10.30.251.61:3128... in order to test if this is working I need to go to http://10.30.251.59/proxy.pac on my browser and a file should start downloading, correct? if that is the case I am not able to acomplish it, for some reason I am no able to download the file

                                  Yes to all. What error do you get when you try to download the wpad file?

                                      I have static IPs on my clients...

                                      is this script correct?

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

                                        Perhaps you should figure out why your web server at 10.30.251.59 isn't responding.

                                        Yes, your wpad.dat is correct, but it will force the proxy even for local connections. I use:

                                        function FindProxyForURL(url,host)
                                        {
                                        // If the requested website is hosted within the internal network, send direct.
                                            if (isPlainHostName(host) ||
                                                shExpMatch(host, "*.local") ||
                                                isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0") ||
                                                isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "172.16.0.0",  "255.240.0.0") ||
                                                isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "192.168.0.0",  "255.255.0.0") ||
                                                isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "127.0.0.0", "255.255.255.0"))
                                                return "DIRECT";
                                        // Else use the proxy
                                            return "PROXY 10.10.4.1:3128";
                                        }

                                          Thanks for all your help, I created a second instance of the nginx using this guide https://nguvu.org/pfsense/pfSense-2.3-WPAD-PAC-proxy-configuration-guide/

                                          Everything related to nagivations seems to be working perfectly fine now...

                                          but I have another tiny issue, when using the proxy mi clients are not able to use nat rules set on the firewall... as soon as I stop the squid they work perfectly, any ideas about this?

                                            Not off the top of my head with no detail about your config.

                                            Try posting a new topic for that issue.
