Squid random disconnects random webpages

[La6er]

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?

[La6er]

this is the error

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.

alright, will do, thanks a lot for your support on this, I really appreciate it
