      I have a VPN client configured, and a rule configured to route all outbound traffic from the local subnet to it.  It works great.

      When I enable Squid as a transparent outbound proxy and go to SpeedTest.net, the http traffic goes via squid and then the VPN interface, but the non http traffic goes out via the WAN interface. I can tell this by the fact the adverts are in Italian where my VPN client emerges (and going to a whats my ip site confirms), but the Flash element of the site shows my IP as being that of my Wan address.

      I'm not entirely sure how to solve this.  Untick the box that enables Squid and it all goes out by the VPN interface which is how I wanted it. I do like having the anti-virus capability of Squid though.

      Using pfSense 2.3.3-RELEASE (amd64)  built on Thu Feb 16 06:59:53 CST 2017

      Any help gratefully received.

      Regards,
      Dave
