Squid3 - New GUI with sync, normal and reverse proxy

marcelloc

The best way is to use freebsd ports to compile.

Portsnap fetch
Portsnap extract

CD /usr/ports/www/squid31
make package

Hobby-Student

why don't we use version 3.2.1?

marcelloc

It's not on ports yet. To create the package for 3.2.1 we need first a port for it.
We can try to create it based on 3.1.20 dir

Hobby-Student

did it.

here we go:
compiled squid 3.1.20 with ports on FreeBSD 8.1. I modified the source and now squid is able to authenticate users with certs (all digests) in reverse mode… i try to find some place to upload the binaries.

EDIT:
forgot to ask… are you interested in including "my" squid version? I just added the mentioned one line in the source....

marcelloc

Post what you did. Maybe I can send it as a feature request to squid port maintained @ freebsd

Hobby-Student

this is what i did:

source file: ssl_support.cc, around line 593 (in squid 3.2.1 the file is located in "ssl" subdir named "support.cc")

function: ssl_initialize(void)

original:

SSL_load_error_strings();
SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();

to:

SSL_load_error_strings();
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms();
SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();

would you like to include my binaries in your package?

@namek:

I am using this mainly for content filtering/caching/logging…

squid3 has some new features on it's gui too, check it on a test machine first.

marcelloc

@namek:

Oh yes, one the features I found was 'patch captive portal' - which I believe that if the users are on a proxy they will not be able to bypass captive portal?

yes. I did it based on some topics on this forum with problems on using captive and squid.

@namek:

And ofcourse there are more features..are many users using this in production? as you have marked it as "Beta"
another striking feature are the realtime logs integrated in the GUI itself. So i believe that somewhat eliminates the need of using the 'realtime' feature of both sarg and lightsquid…

The realtime tab on squid3 package is to help debug access while using squid and squidguard.

Dns v4 first turned on was the latest workaround for this https issue.

Did you tried to stop and start squid after this change?

TyperX

It's working now, i have restart the pfsense. Thanks for the help ;D

Hi,

short question:
Is squid3 completly ready fpr pfsense 2.1 ?
It installs and it starts on pfsense 2.1 but there are some errors on systemlog because of the wrong path "/usr/local/etc/".

Further in the squid.inc there is no code to differentiate between pfsense 2.0.x and 2.1.
Did I miss something or does the squid3 package need some more work to be ready for 2.1?

Thank you :-)

@Nachtfalke:

It installs and it starts on pfsense 2.1 but there are some errors on systemlog because of the wrong path "/usr/local/etc/".

I've committed a folder check right now, check and feedback :)

Your commit fixed squid3 on pfsense 2.1 and it broke squidguard on 2.1 ;-)
SquigdGuard does not make any decision on pfsense version. But it seems that only "squidguard_configurator.inc" need to be changed but not "squidguard.inc".

Hmm, perhaps I should post this on this thread:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,50603.0.html

For curiosity squid3 and squidguard are marked as "working"…

Anyway - thanks for that fix on your package :)

Hi, I've been trying to get this package to work since it first appeared, I always get the same problem, it doesn't seem to cache any content, not in memory nor in HDD, I'm using NanoBSD, I always get TCP_MISS/200 on content that should be cached, is anyone facing this too? please help, its the only thing stopping me from using this great package, same settings work fine with squid 2.7x. I've posted about this here a couple of times but never got a reply :(

podilarius

I didn't think you could run squid in the Nano builds. Do you have to have an extra drive for the cache?

nesense

yes i use a separated CF for caching

marcelloc

try to uncheck dynamic content like YouTube cache option and see if it starts caching

nesense

Yes! disabling dynamic content caching fixed it. Thank you marcelloc, but honestly its the only reason I want squid 3 ;D

marcelloc

It needs some improvements, current dynamic cache rules are based on squid wiki.
