SQUID+DANSGUARDIAN with WPAD/PAC

Akosikazim

Good Day everyone.

i got hired by a company and noticed their firewall was already old, watchguard x55e. (end of life device according to their site).
i replaced it with pfsense. Since we got old desktop with 1 gb ram.

pfsense filter works when manually entering the proxy in the browser,
i used pfsense version 2.2.1.

since many users, i want to try the wpad/pac so that i will not manually enter the proxy all desktops and laptops.
anyone know how?
i've tried some steps but none works.

Thanks in advance

@heper:

Afaik dansuardian is no longer a supported package

And with good reason, it's last stable release was 2009 and even the last beta is now over 4 years old.
