Everlasting squid
-
May be a good thing in a restaurant but it playing havoc with my testing.
I have squid v2.7.9 on pfsense 2.2.2. Not going to upgrade it yet as it is a production machine.I just want to test some routing/load balancing and want to disable squid for now. The thing is whenever I stop it in services, within 30 seconds it has started itself again
I also stopped it from the CLI - service squid.sh stop which does stop it, but it starts itself back up again within a minute.
How do I stop my self-resurrecting squid short of upgrading everything?

Do your testing on the test bench?
-
Under Services/Squid Proxy Server/General uncheck the 'Enable Squid Proxy'. Hit save and then it will stop. If you just try and stop the service it will auto-restart itself..

Thanks - I did go in there, but can't see an option to Enable or otherwise:

Do you have the Service Watchdog package installed? That might explain zombie squid rising from the dead.
You really need to get off of that ancient squid 2.x. It doesn't support a lot of current HTTP features and has long since been EOL.

Ah, I'm on 2.3, didn't realize it wasn't like that on 2.2…

I've updated squid but not pfsense - I think that's the next option as it still won't stop resurrecting itself. No service watchdog installed.
