@serbus That worked. Thanks. But why is it doing that? Who can inform the devs to fix that for PFSENSE?

@nafeasonto said in Squid no longer working on latest development branch:

/usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf

i'm unable to reproduce this, everything seems to work fine on my side
the generation of the squid.conf is ok idk maybe some glich on your pfsense

It looks like it should be producing a line like: http_port ipaddress:80 accel defaultsite=mysite.com vhost

It should be choosing the IP address from an array of the ip addresses on the interfaces by the interface it's listening on.

I would guess that last change that went in to add IPv6 missed something for the reverse proxy case.

I also note 'vhost' is a deprecated option. Reverse Squid could use some love.

In reverse mode?

[kiokoman]

i put some random stuff inside and it was working, i will try again

[stephenw10]

May be something else required to 'tickle' it. Like something in the array contents... or a lack of contents etc.

[kiokoman]

ah ok found it.. yeah it put Array in the config
bug https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/10367

    foreach (explode(",", $ifaces) as $i => $iface) {
            $real_ifaces[] = squid_get_real_interface_address($iface);
            if ($real_ifaces[$i][0]) {

$real_ifaces[] contain only "Array"

[nafeasonto]

Good job finding it. I love when people listen to me. Thanks for taking the time to read the post.

[stephenw10]

Rapido!

[kiokoman]

nice work as always viktor

[nafeasonto]

@kiokoman you updating the package on Pfsense?

[kiokoman]

nope, i'm just a regular user like you, viktor have done the work, now Jim and Renato will do the update

[stephenw10]

Pretty simple patch, you could just modify /usr/local/pkg/squid_reverse.inc yourself to test it.

@stephenw10 The modifications in the link you told me worked. Thanks.

Will you be modifying the package for the future?

[stephenw10]

Not me personally but it will almost certainly be pulled in, yes.

Steve

[nafeasonto]

@stephenw10 okay great, thank you.

[nafeasonto]

@stephenw10 For some reason on reboot, it went back to the old settings.

[stephenw10]

It reverted the file? Curious.

You could apply it using the system patches package. You can set that to auto-apply if required.
