HOW-TO: Fix Squid3/SquidGuard auto-start after reboot

HooKed

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:

@KOM:

Now would you kindly tell me how to transparently cache https (man in the middle) thanks! ;D

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

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
