SQUID Making the connection too Slow

kavirus

Hi,

I have pfsense 1.2.3 with squid, but for some when I browse anything behind the proxy the connection is too slow. I already tried things like change /boot/loader.conf to be like this:

autoboot_delay="1"
vm.kmem_size="435544320"
vm.kmem_size_max="535544320"
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="32768"
kern.maxfiles="65536"
kern.maxfilesperproc="32768"
net.inet.ip.portrange.last="65535"

But nothing changes, also I realize in my access.log I'm getting lots of these messages:

TCP_MISS/200 4051 GET http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/WTWvXj1tNCU/default.jpg

Any help will be really appreciate

Thanks

Do you have traffic shaping on??…This will limit your speeds depending on what's set in the shaper. Also, in Squid, what is set in cache mgmt for memory, min/max object size?

Try making your loader.conf like this one and see if it helps….

@ColdFusion: " Also, in Squid, what is set in cache mgmt for memory, min/max object size?"

May i know what's the right cache mgt to put there? Specs: 160HD, 2.5GB RAM, users: 25 task: browsing

ColdFusion

As an example,,,I have memory at 384MB….min object is 0 and max is 307200 and Hard disk cache 20000.

Thank you ColfFusion :)

Mine: 2.5GBRAM 160GB HD. Users: 25
min object is 12 and max is 8000 and Hard disk cache 1024.

Is this okay? :)

ColdFusion

If it works for you the way you want it..then yes..if you want to cache larger files then increase the max, decreasing the min object size lower than 8 will cache smaller objects as well.

Thanks. Im gonna observe this for 1 week.
