      Hi sorry if this has already been answered I can not seem to find how to disable squid and squid guard,

      I would like to be able to turn it off to see if it resolves the high pings from the server under heavy load

          Or just go to "Services" and stop the service - this "should" work, too.

            Hi thanks for you suggestions,

            I think I am a bit stupid today,

            If I highlight over services the drop down menu gives me the option to choose squid proxy,

            I can not see any way to disable it

            Please see attached screenshot

              Sorry i gave you wrong info, i looked twice at squidguard, but from status:services you have alternative option to stop those

                  only firewall rules on those ingress interfaces(usually lan)
                  pass tcp/udp any any any 80 usually for http, remember top-to-down and first rule wins
