      so turned on Squid, set it up, and went to a speed test site for my ISP and downloaded a couple of .bin files with no change in speed after i downloaded them the first time.

      Settings

      Proxy interface: LAN
      Allow users on interface: Checked
      Transparent proxy: Checked
      whitespace char. in URI: strip

      Hard Disk Cache Size 30000 (megabytes)
      Hard disk cache system: aufs
      Hard disk cache location: /var/squid/cache
      Memory cache size: 50 (megabytes)
      Minimum object size: 50 (kilobytes)
      Maximum Object size 700000 (kilobytes)
      Level 1 subdirectories: 16
      Memory replacement policy: LRU Last Recently Used Policy
      Cache replaceent policy: LRU
      Lowe Water mark %: 90
      High Water mark %: 95

      Allow Subnets: 192.168.0.0/24

      All other options are set to blank, 0, or are greyed out.

      Local users is completely blank.

      Not sure what i'm missing here, i added the Allow Subnets address on top of the Allow users on interface cause it wasn't working in the first place to make sure everyone on the switch was able to use the proxy but still no dice….

          the pfSense router has DHCP enabled, and the LAN card connects to 48 Port switch with 3 vlans, so turning off transparent proxy is not useful to me  :(

          I suppose i could try non-transparent on one computer to see it i can get it working at all for troubleshooting…
