How to setup: Pfsense + Squid Proxy + SquidGuard + Failover
-
I'm using PfSense
Version 1.2.3-RC3
built on Sat Sep 19 15:48:42 UTC 2009
FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p3 i386I have two internet connections; WAN, OPT1 use static ip.
I have set Pfsense as a proxy server with add-on Squid Proxy and add-on content filtering SquidGuard.
PfSense proxy server is now working normally with no problems WAN conditions, I want to ask someone solved the problem Failover when the wan error?1. WAN run is ok: LANs ==> Pfsense ==> Squid Proxy ==> SquidGuard ==> WAN (Default)
2. WAN error: LANs ==> Pfsense ==> Squid Proxy ==> SquidGuard ==> OPT1 (Failover)I only use a server PfSense.
Thanks for advance!

Squid and Squid gives trouble when used in a MultiWAN environement.
It has always givn me trouble.Until the next version of pfsense.i am using Smoothwall for all sorts of content blocking.

I do not use load balancing, I just set Default.
I do not rule set for MultiWAN environement.
I leave the default settings; Any Protocol (LAN) -> Any (Destination) -> Default gateway
My problem is a script to change Default gateway and Default root when the wan main
mistake. -
But inorder to use automatic failover you need to have your client using the load balancing gateway instead of the defult one.
So you need to create a failover gateway in services-> load balancer
