      Hi, so I have been setting up pfsense  for the past few weeks tweaking and working out bugs for my network. I just noticed I can not access my 
      cups interface anymore. I think it is related to squid. I tried my other linux box and it just hangs. I have tried to look at the firewall logs but I dont see anything.

      Here are my running services
      –pfSense 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1
      ----squid (transparent mode)
      ----squid guard
      ----pfblocker
      ----snort
      ----openvpn
      ----dynamic dns
      ----dns resolver

      Here is the error I get

      ERROR

      The requested URL could not be retrieved

      The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://localhost:631/

      Connection to ::1 failed.

      The system returned: (60) Operation timed out

      The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

      Your cache administrator is admin@localhost.

        Are you using IPv6 on your network?

          Well I figured out the problem (with one computer) for some reason on both computers cups-browsed.services was inactive/dead I restarted the services which now say active but only one computer can access the cups menu at this time.

          The laptop still times out. Yesterday I disabled IPV6 under "System, Advanced, Networking" on the pf Server, I do not have an ipv6 address set for my pfbox and I also disabled the IPV6 stack on the two computers in the kernel.  I really wish I could just build cups into pfsense. The printer is wireless.
