      Hello,

      I have 2.2.4 setup in a KVM environment (Squid and Squidguard in a transparent proxy setup without authentication). I have hardware performing SSL break and inspect (A10 Networks Thunder 1030S). I can successfully browse to http sites, and when I browse to https sites the SSL session is inspected and passed to the pfsense. When I visit 'black list sites' they are blocked. Victory…well not really.

      When I visit www.eicar.org and attempt to download the 'malware' using http clamav provides the requisite 'error' message; however, when I use https to download the 'malware' clamav does not inspect the download. What am I missing? Help.

      Thanks,

      James

        SSL inspection in Squid, on which clamav relies.

        Need full pfSense in a cloud? PM for details!

          Im no expert, but I was just testing clamav out on this. Im guessing traffic is passed from your A10 to pfsense "re-encrypted"? If so, clamav needs it to be decrypted to scan the https, so you'd have to use Squid's MITM feature to scan the https.

          Someone with more expertise can chime in here..


          2.6.0-RELEASE

            I checked and it is passing decrypted traffic. Has anyone tried to the perform SSL break and inspect with pfsense without using the native SSL MITM capability? Do I need to configure it with ICAP?
