      Hello all

      This is absolutely NOT a solved problem. Someone should change this. I have several netgate devices with SQUID and SQUIDGARD installed. All of them has this problem. The SQUID service along with the SQUIDGARD service stops several times a day. I have been using SQUID /SQUIDGARD since 2015 . This problem started in 2019 after an upgrade. With the latest upgrade of Pfsense firmware and SQUID /SQUIDGARD it has become terrible. I have to manually start the services several times a day. For us using pfsense without SQUID is not an option and my staff is really questioning why we continue with netgate. The above solutions was not a solution for us. Its still the same.
      The error message in SQUID logs
      assertion failed: http.cc:1533: "!Comm::MonitorsRead(serverConnection->fd):
      Does anyone has any idea of this. I would hate for the first time in a very long time to be forced to go to other routers.

      /Toby

          Can you test it on the latest 2.5 snapshot?

            Finally, i have moved to standalone squid proxy, and I am not getting any issues in standalone, but we have another machine running pfsense and squid, same in my case as well, our company is asking about this issue, don't know why everyday morning 9 AM squid will be down, I had to put someone in a day to continuously monitor because even the watchdog is not able to start this.

              My Squid also start crashing.
              In Friday 13 :) evening Squid and SquidGuard services stopped working.
              When i tried to run it from services - webpages was opening, but after few seconds Squid services stopped again.
              I have rebooted server, but no luck - after few seconds Squid stop working and pages don't load.
              Then i disabled MITM and Squid falling is stopped.
              We are using 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 of Pfsense and 0.4.44_35 Squid with 1.16.18_9 SquidGuard.
              Where/which logs i should check for find what cause this crashing?

                Now this morning the problem is really bad. Several times SQUID is stopping. We did not have any other choice then reinstalling our old Fortigate and pay the licenses for the proxy. Anyone heard of a solution of this issue ?
                Someone mentioned to test a 2.5 snapshot. Maybe a bit risky in a production environment

                            Hi,

                            After I updated the squid to the 0.4.44_36 version it started to crash and show the same message inside the cache.log file.

                            I may be wrong, but I saw a correlation between IP 13.224.211.126 (Amazon) and the problem. So, I bypassed this network from the proxy to see if the problem can be fixed.

                            pfsense: 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1
                            squid: 0.4.44_36

                                So ... as I said, I'm not sure about that. It was more due to the coincidence in access times.
                                for example:
                                2021/01/12 13:46:38 kid1 | assertion failed: http.cc:1533: "! Comm :: MonitorsRead (serverConnection-> fd)"

                                When I bypass the proxy network, the problem no longer occurred.

                                  @volnei I have the same problem. The problem, even if it was solved, surfaced again in the latest squid versions 0.4.44_35 - 0.4.44_36.

                                    @a18g3 could you test it on the latest pfSense 2.5 snapshot?
                                    it uses squid 4.13

                                      This is a known bug of squid and has been fixed since version 4.11 according to this.
                                      https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/10608

                                      If someone can make a guide on how to update to the latest port of squid 4.13 using pfsense 2.4.5 p1 it would be really appreciated.

                                          Hi,
                                          Please remove the SOLVED flag for this problem as it has not been resolved.
                                          I opened a new ticket in squid's bugzilla: Bug 5101 - assertion failed: http.cc:1533:
                                          "!Comm::MonitorsRead(serverConnection->fd)" (edit)

                                          Thank you.
