      problem found in 2.0 beta 4 32bit
      when i enable PPTP VPN, web filtering stops!

      bug? :)

      maybe same problem with 1.2.3.? i mean maybe is related?
      Because i notice, that, after pfs receive connection to vpn, squidguard stops with filtering, but it is random, not every time.

      any suggestions? comments?

      thanks

        I have been having the same probem with suid and squid guard.  It will work for a bit, then stop working all together.  Very frustrating.  I have tried so many times and things to fix it.  I gave up.

        Good luck

            Guys, I think I have a workaround for this issue. I had (hopefully HAD) the same issue. squidguard stops filtering and allows everything to go through every day or two.

            Running 1.2.3 Release. Possible solution: I've ssh'd into the pfsense box, and I´ve set cron to kill squidguard 03:00 everyday. pfsense seems to restart squidguard automatically. Seems to work fine now!

            Command: killall -9 squidguard

            Simple as that. Let me know if that fixes for you guys as well.

                I have too problem with squid+squidguard randomly stop filtering and pass all traffic.
                (pfsense 1.2.3, squid 2.7.9_4, squidGuard 1.3_1 pkg v.1.9)

                I find in filter log this message:

                07.03.2011 06:07:45 going into emergency mode
                07.03.2011 06:07:45 overflow in vsprintf (sgLogError): Unknown error:

                in emergency mode squidguard according to documentation pass all traffic.

                I think if squidquard package is by mistake buid without this patches (or one of them):
                http://squidguard.org/Downloads/Patches/1.3/Readme.Patch-20091015
                http://squidguard.org/Downloads/Patches/1.3/Readme.Patch-20091019

                or is new similar bug.

                I apologize for my English  :)
