      Hi
      I implemented squid a few days ago and I'm getting this message in the LOGS.
      I Use Transparent SQUID + Splice ALL + SSL + Squidguard.
      I also use the captive portal to authenticate.
      I found some options to change the "url_rewrite_children" but it did not work.

      The Message i receive is:
      WARNING: Consider increasing the number of check_cp processes in your config file.
      WARNING: 5 pending requests queued
      WARNING: All 5/5 check_cp processes are busy.

      Thanks

          Maybe, but I do not know how to increase the processes of the captive portal.

            Not a "pfSense" process.
            So probably something from

            SQUID + Splice ALL + SSL + Squidguard

            The captive portal doesn't have a (software) proces. At most a couple of instances of the web interface that hosts the login page - several nginx processes. These processes are called "nginx'. As you can image, they do not much work, and they don't 'block' anything.
            "check_cp" is unknown to me (but I'm not using squid etc as it seems useless these days (to me)).

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
