Not able to run speed tests while using Squid Proxy

solaris81 · Dec 30, 2019, 11:11 PM

Hello,

I have a basic squid proxy setup going. I do not have any issues with the exception of not being able to run speed tests from every speed test site I have tried.

Some I have tried are:

speakeasy.net
speedtest.net
speedtest.xfinity.com/

I usually get an error saying unable to connect or that something went wrong. If I disable the proxy, I have no issues.

I have disabled all blacklists and ACLs.

Squid Access Table shows:

Hi,

Proxies need end user programs - like browsers, mail programs, etc to be aware of them.

"speedtest-cli" is a simple tool, at least the one you can install on pfSense, isn't aware of proxies so it can't get out.

I advise you to carefully select two meaningful words like speedtest-cli proxy, feed them into your favourite web search engine, and then do what has been said here.
