        @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.

        https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/WPAD_Autoconfigure_for_Squid

        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.

                Hi guys, I added the dummy target but it still wont start, the log just shows it starts then stops immediately.

                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
