Squid transparent proxy + SquidGuard error "transaction-end-before-headers"

xalex1977

Hi,
i have version 2.4.5 of PfSense, i have installed squid in transparent mode (SSL/MITM Mode Splice All) + squidguard:

Squid proxy SSL/MITM Mode Splice All and SquidGuard Default access ALL DENY and only a few domains allowed;

in the squid log , from all clients I find many of these:

NONE/000 error:transaction-end-before-headers
NONE/503 http:443
NONE/200 http:443

Why?
is it a problem?

xalex1977

reading here:
https://www.freshports.org/www/squid
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/squid-4.11-RELEASENOTES.html#ss3.2

that with version 4.11 they solved the problem?
how can I update my current version to 4.11?

Thanks

xalex1977

I installed the latest updates 0.4.44_26 but the Squid version is always 4.10

MITM is always some pain in the back and it took me a while to make it work. Without to know your current config & ACLs it is impossible to point you in the right direction to find a solution but I can tell you that it works, if the setup is done right.

@CaliPilot
in Squid there are no particular ACLs, the whole network passes through the transparent proxy,

in SquidGuard Common ACL Target Categories "Default access [all]" is DENY and "Lark" is ALLOW
in SquidGuard "Target categories" (Lark) witch Domain list

the "error: transaction-end-before-headers" problem be fixed on version 4.11 or not?
how do i update it?

CaliPilot

@xalex1977 You should post your squid.conf because (with no offense) I guess there are other issues. With splice all it should work more or less out of the box if the setup is right. You can also check this post ...

@xalex1977 said in Squid transparent proxy + SquidGuard error "transaction-end-before-headers":

reading here:
https://www.freshports.org/www/squid
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/squid-4.11-RELEASENOTES.html#ss3.2

that with version 4.11 they solved the problem?
how can I update my current version to 4.11?

Thanks

when will squid-4.11 be installed from packages?

xalex1977

can anyone tell me when squid-4.11 will be available to solve the problem?
thank you

srlek

Have sam issue here, after update to 4.10, users started to complain and have same errors in logs, squid 4.11 is not available for now in package manager

xalex1977

@srlek have you encountered the same problem? how can we solve?

Same Error..... too bad .....

tchadrack

Same error here, squid-4.10

I found some release notes about squid version 4.11, here:

http://ftp.meisei-u.ac.jp/mirror/squid/squid-4.11-RELEASENOTES.html#toc3.2

Section 3.2 Changes to existing tags:

Unused connections received in http_port or https_port or transactions terminated before reading[parsing] request headers are logged with URI error:transaction-end-before-headers.

@xalex1977 larksuite.com is running on a CDN. We faced the same issues like you, with other and more dramatic consequences (squid crashes and so on). We pinned it down to DNS. We changed from Google-DNS to the local ones from our ISPs, we made DNS-Resolver work (and played with minimum TTLs), fixed our Windows-DNS Servers and disabled the name caches (which doesn't work, we clean them now manually every 5 Minutes via a script) and we disabled name-caching on our clients. Key is that your DNS between Pfsense, internal DNS and your clients is always sync. Squid is a b*tch if one of your boxes is responding with the wrong host or ips.

We made for critical sites (like SAP C4C) static host overrides because they drive crazy with changing their IP every few minutes. All in all i'm very happy right now with or setup!

Another trick we learned that you can use an Alias in Squid to Bypass traffic like for services hosted by Apple (iTunes, App-Store and so on). Key is that you add all known cnames from that cdn-hosted site to your Alias and add that Alias to Squid in the "bypass proxy for these destination IPs".

I'm not a hardcore linux or network specialist but if you check your config, fix your dns and have everything in place it works pretty well. It is some work in the beginning (GotoMeeting, Teams and Apple stuff) and sometimes it's challenging but it will work!

@CaliPilot hi, unfortunately larksuite has a lot of third level domains and it is impossible for me to create aliases;
we use the windows active directory server dns, I would not want disabled Windows-DNS Servers name caches and name-caching on our clients, it is too uncomfortable.

Will this problem not be corrected with a new version of Squid?

Thanks

The error in your log seems to be a CONNECT issue.
The Browser opens a CONNECT session to the target site and will only accept a socket address, not a URL.
The Rewrite URL from squidguard https://site.com/sgerror.php is parsed as a socket address like host:port

We have squid with SSL MITM, ClamAV and Squidguard with correct url redirect working with the following setting:

squid mitm: splice whitelist, bump otherwise

additional advanced options:
url_rewrite_access deny CONNECT
url_rewrite_access allow all

This will deny CONNECT sessions for non-whitelisted sites and will let the redirect work.

As redirect function in squidguard you need to set "ext url move", not redirect.

@xalex1977 também tenho esse mesmo problema! Estou com pfsnse 2.5.0 + Proxy Transparente + interceptação SSL. Notei que esses erros está diretamente relacionado ao dispositivo que acessam via wifi. Não sei se tem algo relacionado ou só consciência.

kasalencar

Amigo onde você insere essa informação adicional?
Seria no campo "Opções personalizadas (SSL / MITM)" ???

xalex1977

@kasalencar i have version 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 + squid in transparent mode (SSL/MITM Mode Splice All) + squidguard and i still have the problem
