What is the most suitable tool to replace Squid?

Good afternoon.
What is the most suitable tool to replace Squid?At the company where I work, we use Pfsense 2.8.1. Squid no longer starts. I researched and saw that Squid is no longer supported. I'm looking for a tool that can replace it.

@jucelio_rosa You can either spin up squid/squidguard on a separate system or convert your fw to something that still supports squid.

@jucelio_rosa Squid runs on 2.8.1 but there was a library bug IIRC. If you manually start squid then check the system log, do you see this error?
The command '/usr/local/sbin/squid -f /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/sbin/squid: Undefined symbol "_ZTVNSt3__117bad_function_callE"'

You have several choices depending on budget but none of them will be on your pfsense.
Your options will be- Replace pfsense with another vendor that can do content filtering
- Use another service while keeping pfsense in line .
