Varnish is not so easy to configure, the gui helps, but it still need some varnish knowledge.
@crazyzoar:Please tell me the configuration of varnish. i am new on pfsense.
i don't know that what values i shall have to write on varnish setting:
Listening port (usually 80)
Managment interface (usually localhost)
Advanced startup (usually empty)
Storage type (ram for better performance)
Cache storage size in megabytes/ (depends on how much ram/disk you have)
Minimum worker threads (could be 32 but depends on your hardware)
Maximum worker threads (could be 1024 but depends on your hardware)
Worker thread timeout (could be 300)
Client identity method (ip address is more compatible with sessions)
Don't cache posts (yes, don't)
Session Cache (per user is a good choice ) take a look on field documentation link
Cache static (when possible cache only in session, always remove cookies before cache)
Fix gzip compression recommended
Be RFC2616 compliant recommended
