Squid 6.5 !! Nov 6th
-
how does one install this package?
when i installed it, i already had the squid package installed from the package manager and then ran your update script to bring it up to date because i don't know how to install the package outside of the package manager.

@lg1980 The only Arm builds for pfSense are pfSense Plus.

@lg1980 I have an SG2100 arm processor. It's on pfSense plus however...
That's amazing news!!!
I made a new snippet and now you can update it through the package manager, just run the command below to show new packages:
I have separated and created parallel versions of squid and squidguard for now. They can be seen in the package manager, but they will conflict with the native packages (squid and squidguard), so you will have to uninstall the native packages to use these new ones.
The snippet with the source scripts is here: https://gitlab.labexposed.com/-/snippets/15
I hope this helps !

About ARM architecture (Pfsense Plus): Anyone who has some hardware available in the laboratory that can provide access, I can try to work on updates like this for the Plus version. If you have any questions, please contact DM.
Merry Christmas and happy new 2024 !
Thx -
@lg1980 I have not been able to test it, as I have an Arm with pfSense plus on 23.05.01. Please let me know if someone is able to test it on the 2100 appliance. I can test and work with it when I have more time to help you with my lab setup, I have to swap the M2 drive so I can go back to my known working version after. So I got to take apart the firewall the test this. I will do it no issues, I just can't down the thing while all the family is home for the holidays, they will have my head.
Next week I can test with Pfsense Plus in my lab set up for you.

It would be interesting to see what netgate have to say about this now,
it seems that alot of cve if not all have been patched in squid 6.4 and 6.5, IMHO it would be a shame to remove this package from the list now. any chance that netgate will retreat that statement and continue to support squid or is it the final decision? @stephenw10 ? -
@kiokoman I would too, if the update fixes all of the issues why not use it?

I have no economic interest in these updates and support from Squid, whatever I personally feel in relation to covering my hours/dedication to work financially.

Did you check this out Squid with all the updates !!!
-
@lg1980 result for use with arm processor
-
@lg1980 how can I test the package?
-
all these updates are great but what happens when it's finally done?
Netgate said squid will no longer be available in the package manager with the next major release of pfsense, so it seems squids days are numbered, at least for pfsense, which really sucks..
there's haproxy, but that lacks av integration.. people might say "it doesn't matter b/c internet traffic is encrypted.. yes, but if you're behind a proxy, then it works well!
so what are we supposed to do?
-
@jc1976 You just manually install it if you use it like us. It will be back alot of users use this.
-
ok, but if netgate removes it from the package manager and we have to manually install it, does that mean the gui portion of it will be removed and all configuring will need to be done via cli?
-
@jc1976 You would have to do it in cmd line after, and use the old packages to install manually

I would not use it but if you need it like me..
I did it with Snort to stop the core dumps
Just know that Netgate recommended it be removed.
