How to completely remove squid and squidguard (need help)?
-
Hello.
Due to the unstable work of squid and squidGuard, I tried to remove the packages to install them again with the default settings.
However, after removing and reinstalling packages (I install squid only) my settings are preserved.
Does anyone know how to completely remove squid and squidGuard (with settings)?I tried the following:

Message from cyrus-sasl-2.1.26_12: You can use sasldb2 for authentication, to add users use: saslpasswd2 -c username If you want to enable SMTP AUTH with the system Sendmail, read Sendmail.README NOTE: This port has been compiled with a default pwcheck_method of auxprop. If you want to authenticate your user by /etc/passwd, PAM or LDAP, install ports/security/cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd and set sasl_pwcheck_method to saslauthd after installing the Cyrus-IMAPd 2.X port. You should also check the /usr/local/lib/sasl2/*.conf files for the correct pwcheck_method. If you want to use GSSAPI mechanism, install ports/security/cyrus-sasl2-gssapi.

Message from squid-3.5.19: o You can find the configuration files for this package in the directory /usr/local/etc/squid. o The default cache directory is /var/squid/cache/. The default log directory is /var/log/squid/. Note: You must initialize new cache directories before you can start squid. Do this by running "squid -z" as 'root' or 'squid'. If your cache directories are already initialized (e.g. after an upgrade of squid) you do not need to initialize them again. o When using DiskD storage scheme remember to read documentation: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/DiskDaemon and alter your kern.ipc defaults in /boot/loader.conf. DiskD will not work reliably without this. Last recomendations were: kern.ipc.msgmnb=8192 kern.ipc.msgssz=64 kern.ipc.msgtql=2048 o The default configuration will deny everyone but the local host and local networks as defined in RFC 1918 for IPv4 and RFCs 4193 and 4291 for IPv6 access to the proxy service. Edit the "http_access allow/deny" directives in /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf to suit your needs. o If AUTH_SQL option is set, please, don't forget to install one of following perl modules depending on database you like: databases/p5-DBD-mysql databases/p5-DBD-Pg databases/p5-DBD-SQLite To enable Squid, set squid_enable=yes in either /etc/rc.conf, /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf.d/squid Please see /usr/local/etc/rc.d/squid for further details. Note: If you just updated your Squid installation from an earlier version, make sure to check your Squid configuration against the 3.4 default configuration file /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf.sample. /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf.documented is a fully annotated configuration file you can consult for further reference. Additionally, you should check your configuration by calling 'squid -f /path/to/squid.conf -k parse' before starting Squid. Message from pfSense-pkg-squid-0.4.21: Please visit Services - Squid Proxy Server menu to configure the package and enable the proxy. >>> Cleaning up cache... done. Successbut my settings is still here…
Will be appreciated for any help.
My pfSense version:2.3.1-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) built on Wed May 25 14:53:06 CDT 2016 FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p3 -
I found squid configuration in the section <installedpackages></installedpackages>of the pfsense configuration file:
<installedpackages><package><name>OpenVPN Client Export Utility</name> <internal_name>openvpn-client-export</internal_name> <version>1.3.8</version> <configurationfile>openvpn-client-export.xml</configurationfile></package> <tab><name>Client Export</name> <tabgroup>OpenVPN</tabgroup> <url>/vpn_openvpn_export.php</url></tab> <tab><name>Shared Key Export</name> <tabgroup>OpenVPN</tabgroup> <url>/vpn_openvpn_export_shared.php</url></tab> <squidcache>!!!skipped!!!</squidcache> <squidremote><squidauth>!!!skipped!!!</squidauth> <squid>!!!skipped!!!</squid> <squidtraffic>!!!skipped!!!</squidtraffic> <lightsquid>!!!skipped!!!</lightsquid> <squidguarddefault>!!!skipped!!!</squidguarddefault> <squidguardrewrite><squidnac>!!!skipped!!!</squidnac> <squidguardgeneral>!!!skipped!!!</squidguardgeneral> <squidguarddest>!!!skipped!!!</squidguarddest> <squidguardacl>!!!skipped!!!</squidguardacl> <squidantivirus>!!!skipped!!!</squidantivirus> <menu> <service>If I remove all about squid from configuration file and restore pfSense through Backup/restore would pfSense work?

Solved for me:
I am not sure exactly how, but finally I got the squid with default config.
Several times in different sequence I made as follows:- remove all about squid from <installedpackages></installedpackages>section of configuration file and restore pfSense configuration from modified configuration file
- install squid with or without squidguard
- uninstall (check/uncheck checkbox "Keep Settings/Data") squid and squidguard
- enable and disable squid and squidguard
- reboot pfSense
- manually remove files squid from filesystem (including *.txz files)
- (not sure) restore configuration from unmodified pfSense configuration file (with squid settings in <installedpackages></installedpackages>section)
