I've tested right now with

2.1-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Fri Apr 13 16:24:04 EDT 2012
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE

with no issues.

Squid 3 do not have pfsense 2.1 pbi packages yet, so you need to manual install squid3.

i386
pkg_add -rf http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/squid-3.1.19.tbz

amd64
pkg_add -rf http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/squid-3.1.19.tbz

Seems to be working so far.

hi marcelloc,

nice to see that there is now just only one package and not two like it was with squid2 and squid-reverse.
If I am not completely wrong - you made some changes on the GUI (re-order some options), right ? But you didn't add any relevant new options?

Another question is:

I am using squid2 at the moment with squidguard and many custom options.
If I update to squid3 - should I pay attention on the custom options ? In the new GUI there are two text boxes - one for custom options - and another one for squidguard / havp options. Will they be "imported" correctly when updating?

PS: Not really related to this topic - but will there be a dansguardian version which uses squid3 or better not forces any version of squid ?

Thank you for the very hard work - on all the many different packages :-)

Hello all, I just clean install pfSense (i386) and also I have installed Squid3 and Dansguardian. After that I reboot pfsense system. I got some warning on pfSense console like this:

Waring: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/pkg/squid_reverse.inc on line 103
Waring: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/pkg/squid_reverse.inc on line 146

There is some bug in Squid3 (squid_reverse.inc) on the line 103 and 146.
Again for Dansguardian does not appear on services menu (Services > …....),after I installed. I have to reinstall it and then appear on the services menu.

Also Squid and Perl have two version installed. Uninstall and reinstall, it is the same.

Any idea.

me too having this issue

Waring: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/pkg/squid_reverse.inc on line 103
Waring: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/pkg/squid_reverse.inc on line 146

and squidguard service does not startup in my case

There are new options just on reverse menu. Instead of text config, squid-reverse has config screens for peers and mappings.

They will stay all on Integration field.
After squid3 install, you can move your options from integration field to custom fields using a better viewing one per line option.
example:
integration field:```
auth_param ntlm program /usr/lib/squid/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp;auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic;auth_param basic children 5;auth_param basic realm Squid;proxy-caching web server;auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours


can be moved to:

#ntlm auth
auth_param ntlm program /usr/lib/squid/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp
auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours

on custom field

@Nachtfalke:

> PS: Not really related to this topic - but will there be a dansguardian version which uses squid3 or better not forces any version of squid ?

You can use this if you remeber to install squid3 after dansguardian or squidguard.

Waring: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/pkg/squid_reverse.inc on line 103
Waring: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/pkg/squid_reverse.inc on line 146

and squidguard service does not startup in my case

~~I'll check it today.~~

~~Try to apply squidguard config again and then re-apply squid config.

To workaround squid-reverse error, just select a interface on in and fill up host fqdn. It will not enable reverse proxy but will create xml config that stops inc errors at line 103 and 146.~~

I've included some checks on squid-reverse.inc file. I'm just doing some tests before publishing this patch.

Thanks for your feedback.

@Donny:

Squidguard as well dansguardian force squid2 install.

To avoid squid3 overwrite, install squid3 package after squidguard or dansguardian.

marcelloc

I've just pushed squid_reverse.inc fix.

Upgrade to squid3 pkg v 2.0.1 and see if it fixes inc errors.

Nachtfalke

I installed squid2 package
after that squidguard
and then squid3

when click on "save" on squidguard page this line appears in squid3 integration box:

çbç-¦º ©¿ºÊÿ–‡—öâŸû*º'F¹ªÝsû¬¯ùhq©z×?²«¢tkšßìªèæ«uÊ'~·Š·œ¶ŠÛÊ–¬²‰ëyØ«yË\†)]é÷

To "temporary" circumvent the integration gibberish, manually edit the custom options.
Integrations

(empty the edit box)

Custom
Options

quick_abort_pct 70
range_offset_limit 0
redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf
redirector_bypass on
redirect_children 8

(press save)

Squid should restart and activate 8 squidquard redirectors (temporary fix, because changing any setting in the proxy filter menu's will result in gibberish again)
Might also change at midnight because of squidguard crontab stuff.

Nachtfalke

@Tikimotel:

This helped and squidguard started (service). Couldn't test more.

redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf

SOLVED!, The Squid3 pkg v 2.0.1 has fixed this Waring: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/pkg/squid_reverse.inc on line 103 and 146.

Next step I just want to be sure, I will try to clean install pfSense again in my testing machine, after that > First install: Dansguardian > Second install: Squid 3.

I will inform you later, Thank u Marcelloc.

Check if I forgot to remove base64 info from custom_option on squid.XML

Custom_option should not have it but custom_option_squid3 should have.

You do not need squid2 package before squidguard.

I'm not at home right now so I could check this only tonight.

Removing the "encode base64" from squid.xml worked. Now the command is visible in the text box BUT the command from this box is not copied into squid.conf file. So it does not take effect.

Don't hurry up and don't stress with that fact. It is sunday and you should have a free day and a nice weekend, too :-)

Hi guys,

I'm testing new squid3 package, and after install it, I'm having a lot errors in http connections, squid show me a lot 'TCP_MISS/503'. This happen often in forms posts, so I need re-send form ou press F5.
I tested exhaustively the squid-2.7.9_1 + squidGuard and problem no happen. So I too tested exhaustively the squid3 + SquidGuard, and I give this problem.

All squid versions have the same config. And this problem only occurs in 'Transparent Mode'

Somebdoy can please test it and report the results?!

Thanks

Just in case others were seeing performance issues, I saw my bandwidth drop to <5mbps after installing Squid3, however changing from AUFS to diskd brought the bandwidth backup up to approximately 60mbps where it should be.

@Donny:

Yes :)

After clean install pfSense, I try first to install Dansguardian. I got the same result as I told you before. Dansguardian does not appear on services menu. So I wait a few minute and then try to refresh pfSense WebGUI and not thing changed. The last final "fantasy" I reboot pfSense and it does not appear again. (The final "fantasy" I just only make a joke because today is Sunday, you should be relax.). Then the way I have to do before I am going to install Squid3 is reinstall Dansguardian and finally Dansquardian is appear.

The next step I am going to install Squid3

Just let you know, Marcelloc.

marcelloc

Before using disk cache, I suggest you to enable softupdates on /usr and /var. The performance difference is huge.

Donny

Now Squid3 and Dansguardian is working. I don't find any error yet. The next step I will trying to configure firewall, NAT with HTTP and HTTPS for how Squid3 and Dansguardian work together.

harish

error is gone but could not start squidguard, i rechecked with reinstalling the squidguard, but fails to start.

Nachtfalke

@harish:

error is gone but could not start squidguard, i rechecked with reinstalling the squidguard, but fails to start.

As far as I can say that at the moment the "Integrations" box isn't working. So put the commands squidguard creates manually in "custom options":

redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf
redirector_bypass on
redirect_children 8

marcelloc

Just updated squid3 package to version 2.0.2 to fix integration erros.

Please update,test and feedback :)

harish

yes now its working after custom option.

Hi all,

After looking for some options o squid-wiki, I've included dynamic update options to cache tab on pkg v 2.0.3

Nachtfalke

@marcelloc:

Hi all,

Setting the refresh_pattern to -1 is not a really good solution because it always downloads the file even if the user aborted it. This causes that squid downloads most of the time on its own which causes more traffic usage for squid as it saves. it is better to set some values according to the update size:


Finish transfer if less than x KB remaining: 102400
Abort transfer if more than x KB remaining: 102400
Finish transfer if more than x % finished: 60

These are the same values you can set in squid - traffic mangt.
What is happening if I enable squid windows update and set different values on the mngt tab ?

What do you use as refresh pattern for the windows updates ? I am using these for squid2


refresh_pattern -i .*microsoft\.com/.*\.(cab|exe|msi|msp) 259200 100% 259200 override-expire override-lastmod reload-into-ims ignore-reload ignore-no-cache ignore-private;
refresh_pattern -i .*windowsupdate\.com/.*\.(cab|exe|msi|msp) 259200 100% 259200 override-expire override-lastmod reload-into-ims ignore-reload ignore-no-cache ignore-private;

Thanks :-)

@Marcelloc Nice work man!!! I do have a request/wish for this… Would it be possible to setup the GUI to have squid-reserve run as a separate process? This would allow it to have its own options and the log file could be separate. I created a separate conf file and added some code to the squid.inc so it would start with squid processes on my box. Basically where it starts/stop the service and creates the squid.sh file, i added another like to include my squid-reverse.conf.

just a thought when you have "free" time...

Nothing, I just force range_offset_limit -1 when updates are set, all traffic mgmt are configured by users.

I clean installed this version
2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Mon Dec 12 18:16:13 EST 2011

Then went into packages and installed squid3 first. Same settings I have been using for over a year. Nothing has changed. I reinstalled pfSense again and again tried with your latest package.. same issue.

Hi,

so I post what I did and while I am doing this it will take more than one minute. (Remember your pm to me).

I installed squid3 package and sent myself personal messages. It took all times very long till they get sent - but that's probably a forum issue. Nothing uncommon in access.log.

After that installed squidguard - it break squid3 and squidguard so I uninstalled squid3 and reinstalled squid3. after that both were running. I created a target in squidguard to block google.de and it is working. Other pages can be visited. Nothing uncommon and not TCP_MISS/503 in access.log

I sent some personal messages myself and no problem.

Now I am writing this post and we will see what happens.

PS: I did not enable any additional options on squid - just basic settings on a VM to test.

–-- EDIT ----
Got the same error as ccesario:

When enabling all cache options (window supdates and so on) the squid.conf is not correctly formatted and needs some new lines before "range offset limit":

range_offset_limit -1
refresh_pattern -i microsoft.com/.*\.(cab|exe|ms[i|u|f]|asf|wm[v|a]|dat|zip) 4320 80% 43200 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern -i windowsupdate.com/.*\.(cab|exe|ms[i|u|f]|asf|wm[v|a]|dat|zip) 4320 80% 43200 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern -i my.windowsupdate.website.com/.*\.(cab|exe|ms[i|u|f]|asf|wm[v|a]|dat|zip) 4320 80% 43200 reload-into-imsrange_offset_limit -1
refresh_pattern liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com/.*\.(cab|exe|dll|msi) 10080 100% 43200 reload-into-ims
refresh_pattern symantecliveupdate.com/.*\.(cab|exe|dll|msi) 10080 100% 43200 reload-into-imsrange_offset_limit -1
refresh_pattern avast.com/.*\.(vpu|cab|stamp|exe) 10080 100% 43200 reload-into-imsrange_offset_limit -1
refresh_pattern personal.avira-update.com/.*\.(cab|exe|dll|msi|gz) 10080 100% 43200 reload-into-imscache_mem 64 MB
maximum_object_size_in_memory 256 KB

Further I would make the other pattern case insensitive, too ( -i )

An what about the subdomains of microsoft.com ? Are they covered with this regex ?
Or better put .* in front like:


refresh_pattern -i .*\.microsoft.com/.*\.(cab|exe|ms[i|u|f]|asf|wm[v|a]|dat|zip)
refresh_pattern -i .*\.windowsupdate.com/.*\.(cab|exe|ms[i|u|f]|asf|wm[v|a]|dat|zip)

Further I didn't have any luck with a short test on caching youtube.com videos.
access.log shows "x-flv". Perhaps add this format to the config:

refresh_pattern -i .*\.(x-flv|flv) 10080 90% 999999 ignore-no-cache override-expire ignore-private

Thanks, I'll fix it.
