        That is normal.  It only uses SWAP when it needs it.

            No it isn't.  Memory and hard disk.

              It is possible but squid can't make use of loadbalancing/polcybased routing. Only connections going through the pfSense can make use of it. A squid that is installed at the pfsense itself will always use WAN only.
