      Hi

      We have squid(2.7.8_1) & lightsquid (1.7.1) installed with all logging enabled on 1.2.3-RELEASE.
      LightSquid generates a report of visited sites but does not display a hostname, IP address etc. we have the IP resolve method set to 'demo'.
      Looking at the squid logs manually I can see IP addresses in there.
      squid is running in transparent mode.

      Is there some magic trick to getting this working?

      Cheers
      Gordon

          It seems that the Demo mode (as shown below) doesn't actually return the IP. Setting this to IP does indeed return the IP

          thanks for responding.

          IP  - return IP 
          Demo  - return AUTHNAME, else DNSNAME, else IP 
          DNS  - return DNSNAME 
          Simple  - return AUTHNAME else IP 
          SMB  - return SMB name of pc 
          Squidauth  - return AUTHNAME else IP, allow cyrilyc name

            Operation Demo is given in the description (check one AUTHNAME > then DNSNAME > then IP). If demo eturn IP then DNS not resolved you IP. This can be if you pfsense dont resolve local IP's by DNS.
