        Don't.  It breaks the web and it hurts your brain.  Use WPAD instead.

          I had this same problem for a while until i found this post.
          I'm using:

          2.2.6-RELEASE (i386)
          built on Mon Dec 21 14:50:36 CST 2015
          FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p25

          This still seems to be a problem in the current release I'm using.

          As of now the "fix" still works as described above.

            Hello my friends, some time ago I did a video explaining how to do this solution on pfsense, here is the link:

              Thanks. Is this good for caching HTTPS data or is it purposed for traffic filtering only? I'm more interested in caching to save on data.

                      I have the same issue. Can't start squidguard :

                      • pfSense 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (arm) on Netgate SG-3100
                      • SquidGuard 1.16.4
                      • Under 'General settings'-tab I entered the Balcklist URL : http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz + clicked 'Download'
                      • Under 'target directories'-tab I create a dummy category
                      • Under 'Common ACL'-tab I selected some categories from the categories including my dummy category.
                      • Under 'General Settings'-tab I enabled squidguard and  tried to start. But it remains in SquidGuard service state: STOPPED
                      • In the log I see that I starts and immediately stops.

                      Can someone please advise?

                      Thomas.

                        Hello @Idawallace,

                        Thank you for the answer but this link does not mention a tutorial on the subject. Can you give us the direct link explaining how to solve the problem?

                        Best regards
