      Yeah, indeed. Upstream appears completely dead (HAVP was pretty much the sames story), plus the package would need rewriting from scratch. Noone fixes any bugs there in the pfSense package because you get lost in the code in 5 minutes and develop a severe headache due to the coding style.

        Ouch. I feel like I just got my wrist slapped for even using it.

          Done a lot more digging through log files today. Not squidGuard log files but system log files.
          It's looking like the squidGuard processes are not running as result of being fired up by squid
          but as a results of a cron task that performs a daily blacklist update.

            Ah found it!
            The plonk who setup the crontab entries (not mentioning who as I may incriminate myself) set the minutes parameter to "*".
