      Hi,

      Is there a possibility to change the default cipher(s) for the Squid reverse proxy?

      I get always an ERR_SSL_OBSOLETE_CIPHER with Chrome and Opera.

      If I connect directly without my pfSense to the website it works. If I connect over my pfSense I get this error message. So I think it should be a configuration thing.

      Thanks,
      Christian.

        Hi,

        so far I found the following BAD solution:

        1. The configuration of the Squid Reverse Prox is saved under: '/usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf'.

        2. There is a section called '# Reverse Proxy settings'

        3. There are a lot of parameters for each entry. For the https stuff there are also the parameters which create the problem: 'cipher=' and 'options='

        4. I found this article: http://www.rawiriblundell.com/?p=1442

        5. I know, that I should not touch this file manually, but I wanted to see if this is the problem. So I changed the values for 'cipher' and 'options' like described in the article. I restarted the Squid service.

        IT WORKS!!!

        Does anyone know where I can set/change/choose this parameters over the gui???

        Thanks,
        Christian.
