        You can't do load balancing, but failover is possible if you enable default gateway switching.

            Configuring pfSense in Dual WAN Failover Mode

            Just a guess, but I'd say it's an article that goes into depth about what JimP just said – you can run multi-WAN in failover mode.  squid will use the default gateway so you can't load-balance it.

              use two pfsense, the first one with proxy or you can also cascade use parent proxy. make sure not to proxy the parent proxy else you end up in a loop.

                I think that the fual WAN fail over mode only work for LAN out rules with the gateway group, you cant assing to Squid service a Gateway Group it use the default WAN interface.

                  I can be done but it's not implemented on current squid package.
