Installed Squid and Squidguard but it's not filtering.

nambi · Nov 9, 2010, 10:13 PM

I had to reinstall my pfsense box where I had squid and squidguard working well.

I installed from scratch and manually set everything up, I followed the tutorials to the T but my squidguard will not filter.

I can't figure out why, as I had done this quite some time ago and it worked.

Do I also need to make changes under services/proxy server?

Other than that I am positive i set all the settings up correctly under services/proxy filter.

check your logs, specifically the squid and squidguard logs to ensure that squid is seeing the requests and that the squidguard redirectors aren't crashing or otherwise erroring out.

nambi · Nov 10, 2010, 3:50 PM

I reinstalled the packages, squid, then squidguard

made sure all logs

Enable log is checked
Check this for enable log.

then I go to the last tab

and it shows

Log type
squidguard_log report disabled

dvserg · Nov 10, 2010, 4:34 PM

@nambi:

Log type
squidguard_log report disabled

Enable this option and look this log for error messages.
Check squidGuard servicxe status.

It IS checked, services are also running, I did not setup any ACL's I removed them I thought this may be the issue so I only have General ahd Default Tab configured.

Thanks

Be sure, what you browser configured for proxy use.
And show you squidGuard config (look last Page/Tab)

My browser settings are Default just as it was before when it worked.

In Default Tab you setup default rule (last rule) to deny -> result: you clients can't browse sites.
Setup this rule as allow - this mean what you allow All sites, but deny blacklisted sites.

Thank you but this i recently switch so I could see if PF sense would actually block access. but it did not even with this set.

Now I set it to allow and no it is still not filtering, Could this be a file permission problem?

Thank You,

Not sure, permissions check each time while you configure SG.
Please do this :

disable squid transparent mode if you use.
delete Bypass Proxy option in squid (if you enter this option)

Sorry to pester you with this, when I Installed squid and squid guard I had only setup the "proxy filter area" I did not change any of the "proxy server" side, should I be? or do the default settings work?

Also when I try to change a few settings under proxy server I get an error saving stating.

The following input errors were detected:

* The field 'Log store directory' is required.
* The field 'Proxy port' is required.
* You must start log location with a / mark
* That is not a valid log location dir

This is because I had never initially set this up. Would this be the problem?

Thank You
Thank You
Thank You!

it's working now, it was the settings I omitted in the proxy server area which prevented the blocking to work.

though these settings are enabled, and if they are not the blocking is bypassed

squid transparent mode if you use.
