Hello fellow Squid users,
Does anyone use pfSense squid package that knows a possible solution to this issue ? I have went as far as to remove all custom config and go to complete splice all and it still occurs with or without cache enabled and or squid guard enabled. It is something I just don’t know how to correct it. I worked on testing it in command line a while back but could not find a way to get the status page working again.

Bug #15410: cache_object://URL Scheme is removed in Squid-6 - pfSense Packages - pfSense bugtracker https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15410

As discussed in that bug report the "cache_object://" scheme has been replaced by "http://(visible_hostname):3128/squid-internal-mgr/"

The scheme can be "https://" so long as the proxy listening port is configured with the https_port directive.

visible_hostname should be replaced by the contents of the visible_hostname directive, or listening IP address. This is just one of the many reasons that directive needs to be a DNS resolvable domain name.

The port 3128 can be another forward-proxy or an 'accel' mode port if you wish. Cannot be an 'intercept' or 'tproxy' *_port, nor an https_port with SSL-Bump enabled.

FTR; What we are familiar with as an "index page" is not provided by the Squid cache manager by default. I provide a basic UI at https://github.com/yadij/cachemgr.js that makes accessing the reports a bit easier for humans.

For all of this unofficial guide
UPDATE:

WARNING: Per recommendations use a different mount point mnt is used during upgrades so create a custom location to do this with

I created a new location /nvme/LOGS_Optane to use in place of mnt

Do not use mnt as a mount point create a custom location.

Some photos you can still see mnt just ignore them and replace that with name

Update: Set your SSH on the wpad to only allow access during business hours. This can be done with the PAM

edit the following file

/etc/security/time.conf

add:

sshd;*;*;AL0500-2300

Meaning I can only access ssh into my wpad durring 5-2300

After adapt /etc/ssh/sshd_config

make sure your listenaddress is the ip of the wpad set your AllowUsers to your login

Example

Port 8085 #change port if needed AddressFamily inet #ipv4 only ListenAddress 192.168.1.6 #address of wpad AllowUsers Jonathan@192.168.1.* # any device that is 192.168.1.X

Change

PermitRootLogin no #no ssh login for root UsePam yes # turn on pam for use with time restrictions

after adapt
/etc/passwd

for added security also change your login to use the shell rbash and lock down the wad.

Also if you use ipv6 and ipv4 you will have a race condition and sshd will not start on reboots you must also adapt

sudo -i systemctl edit --full sshd.service

under [unit] add

Requires=network-only.target After=network-only.taget

This will only start sshd once the network target is running in my example 192.168.1.6 I also have ipv6 running so it would cause issues unless I changed this. If you do not use ipv4 forget about this.

@michmoor
Yes, it works for them, unfortunately only there :(

@JonathanLee tls 1.3 has been used for quite some time.. Any time I bother to look at the connection to pretty much anything its tls 1.3.. This connection to the forums is using tls 1.3

ensi is dead but long live ech, that could be problematic I would bet..

But again I don't do any sort of mitm, its not good practice - I want my ssl/tls to be end to end.. As the internet gods intended it to be ;)

I have no need or desire to run a proxy.. If I want to block someting I would filter on IP or DNS.. Yes I block the bane of filtering doh and dot.

I run a reverse proxy, but not as a filtering method or as a way to do mitm.. But as a way to offload the ssl connection because the actual services have no ssl support at all, or are a pain to setup. These connections are tls 1.3.. And I don't even allow 1.2, if your not using 1.3 then your not accessing it. And use strict sni - so if you don't send the valid sni your not being proxied in either. This keeps rando port scanners from being able to actually get to the sites interface.

And I block most of the known scanners from talking to any of my forwards anyway, and only allow access into my forwards if your coming from US IP, etc.

So generation 2 proxy technology can help if its built right...

Hi

I hope you are doing well.

I have reinstall pfsense OS ,i need to reconfigure squid Proxy, I am unable to download pakage from above github link.Can you share the new repo link.

@mcury I also had to disable some ethernet rules that all the sudden showed a lot of activity

Store ID program:

I am using the built in program attached here..
/usr/local/libexec/squid/storeid_file_rewrite

#!/usr/local/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Pod::Usage; =pod =head1 NAME storeid_file_rewrite - File based Store-ID helper for Squid =head1 SYNOPSIS storeid_file_rewrite filepath =head1 DESCRIPTION This program acts as a store_id helper program, rewriting URLs passed by Squid into storage-ids that can be used to achieve better caching for websites that use different URLs for the same content. It takes a text file with two tab separated columns. Column 1: Regular expression to match against the URL Column 2: Rewrite rule to generate a Store-ID Eg: ^http:\/\/[^\.]+\.dl\.sourceforge\.net\/(.*) http://dl.sourceforge.net.squid.internal/$1 Rewrite rules are matched in the same order as they appear in the rules file. So for best performance, sort it in order of frequency of occurrence. This program will automatically detect the existence of a concurrency channel-ID and adjust appropriately. It may be used with any value 0 or above for the store_id_children concurrency= parameter. =head1 OPTIONS The only command line parameter this helper takes is the regex rules file name. =head1 AUTHOR This program and documentation was written by I<Alan Mizrahi <alan@mizrahi.com.ve>> Based on prior work by I<Eliezer Croitoru <eliezer@ngtech.co.il>> =head1 COPYRIGHT * Copyright (C) 1996-2023 The Squid Software Foundation and contributors * * Squid software is distributed under GPLv2+ license and includes * contributions from numerous individuals and organizations. * Please see the COPYING and CONTRIBUTORS files for details.

Could it be set flags SYN ACK ? and or state type keep or sloppy ?

@mcury Thanks for the information

@JonathanLee said in StoreID and Squid "helper program":

Does anyone work with Store ID?

Unfortunately no, I didn't.. splice all with cache disabled for me.
Squid/Squidguard was just to filter SNI header..

@jimp thanks for looking into this. I will use that URL for future items. I did not know about that other URL until today.

Добрый
@ao_kalachev
В баг-репорт смотрели ? Может там чего есть на эту тему.

@JonathanLee Thanks Jonathan!
