squid proxy blocking soundhound searches

4o4rh

I currently have squid proxy enabled for both http/https (without squid guard for the moment).
All my usual stuff is working fine except I cannot do soundhound searches with squid enabled.

If i disable squid the searches are working,
if enabled I receive an error on the application that it could not connect.

I can't see anything to indicate what is blocking it.

I can i enable the soundhound search through the proxy ?

@gwaitsi it appears to be the SSL on the proxy that is blocking the search function. Turn that off and the search works.

To fix this you do this

setup a WPAD (make web browser use it )
Manual configure any device that cannot use a WPAD
Use transparent proxy with MITM splice all to catch the rest

@aGeekhere

setup wpad according to your instructions
have confirmed it is working i.e. disabling squid, i can't browse internet in 80/443
google dns redirect does force safesearch

i still get "couldn't connect to soundhound" when trying to open the app for song searching.

If i allow 80/443 amd disable squid it works. so definitely related to squid config

But i can't see a log, etc that can show me what is being blocked, or what i need to bypass.

With SquidGuard disabled and the soundhound IPs added to the bypass proxy of SquidProxy;

Test Case 1

Port 443 blocked, IPs Bypass proxy, Squidproxy On - Soundhound Error
Port 443 blocked, IPs Bypass proxy, Squidproxy Off - Soundhound no Error

Test Case 2

Port 443 unblocked, IPs Bypass proxy, Squidproxy On - Soundhound Error
Port 443 unblocked, IPs Bypass proxy, Squidproxy Off - Soundhound no Error

No body has any idea? Is squid not so much used on pfsense?

Which device has the issue? PC, android or iPhone?
