squidGuard forcing incorrect redirect address

[Crlaozwyn]

I'm finally getting around to configuring squidGuard for my home network. I have a valid certificate (let's call it pfsense.site.com).

squidGuard redirects everything to the IP of 192.168.1.1 (pfsense IP), which doesn't have a valid certificate (name doesn't match, since cert is for pfsense.site.com). This results in the error: "Failed to establish a secure connection to 192.168.1.1". While I'd prefer to fix the IP certificate issue, a bit of searching indicates I'd have to do self-signed certs for the IP and, since that requires client-side intervention, isn't a workable solution.

No matter what I put in the "Redirect Info" box, it always goes to that same IP. I tried editing the config file, but it reverts when I try to apply changes. Individual target categories do the same thing. Doesn't matter if I redirect to pfsense.site.com or google.com - everything redirects to that IP. Here's an example from the config file:

dest Test {
	domainlist Test/domains
	redirect https://192.168.1.1:443/sgerror.php
}

Nowhere in any of my (visible) settings is that IP listed or selected. Any help?

I'm experiencing the exact same issue as you. This has only been happening since the latest SquidGuard update (1.16.18_10). I think it's a bug. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Yes, much thanks! My google-fu failed me and I didn't find that post. Appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
