Squid3 - New GUI with sync, normal and reverse proxy

[mhab12]

I was getting the previously discussed msgget failed error and the squid service would not stay running.  The issue only appeared about a week after installing lightsquid, probably when the files were set to update.  I uninstalled lightsquid but that didn't seem to help.  I cleared the squid cache but that didn't seem to help.  The only fix I found was to reboot the box after removing lightsquid and now everything is up and running smoothly.

Recently we install the following:

• pfSense 2.1.5 VM
• Squid3dev 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.6
• Diladele 3.3.0.E807

We are running in transparent mode with HTTPS bumping.

Lately we have been getting icap errors:

The message is coming from Squid:

ICAP protocol error.
The system returned: [No Error]

Is there anywhere I can look for more detail?

Also, while looking in the /var/squid/logs/cache.log I have been seeing many:

parse error while reading template file: /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/squid/errors/templates/error-details.txt
WARNING: failed to find or read error text file error-details.txt

This file does exist:

-r–r--r--  1 proxy  proxy  7151 Nov 26  2013 error-details.txt

Hi guys,

I configured pfSync + CARP and both server are running ok. But Squid "Sync to configured system backup server" does not work. I'm getting this message in system logs

php: /pkg_edit.php: [squid] xmlrpc sync is enabled but there is no system backup hosts to push squid config.

But, if I change this configuration to "Sync to hosts defined below" and put IP address from backup server everything works fine.

This is a bug or I forgot some configuration?

Thanks

Hi!

With HTTPS/SSL interception enabled, some desktop apps like google drive does not work.

Any easy workaround for this?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am attempting to install squid3 from the packages menu and getting the following error:
pfsense version: 2.2-BETA (amd64) built on Tue Oct 21 13:21:00 CDT 2014 FreeBSD 10.1-RC2

Is this not available on 2.2 as a pbi? Do I need to install manually via CLI?

Hi!

Is there a way to revert back to 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.6 from the current 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.8?

Thanks!

[finalcut]

why do you want to revert back ,, i'm about to update ?

[edanpedragosa]

It seems that after the update, the squid real-time monitoring does not work anymore.

Also, the tweak to allow large downloads in cache also stopped working.

With that note, I want to revert to see if the issue was with this update or not.

[finalcut]

clear old cash
or
from console squid -k rotate

Hi,
I set it to portuguese pt-br and I receive the following error messages on startup:

2014/11/10 08:39:29 kid1|  parse error while reading template file: /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/squid/errors/pt-br/error-details.txt

Thanks,

[edanpedragosa]

I already cleared the cache many times, even uninstalled and reinstalled all the packages with the same effect.

I'm not pretty sure if rotating logs will make a difference, anyway, I'll try again later.

SARG can still display the realtime logs but squid realtime is not working.

I hope the next update will fix it.

[edanpedragosa]

It seems that squid does not cache anything at all.

I only get TCP_MISS/200 in the access log.

Here's my current squid config settings:

i made update it work flawless ,, thanks for update

Hello,
first you make a very good job. Pfsense as well all package developer. I look since weeks for a solution to use an webproxy with antivirus and contentfilter. First i want to use dansguardian, but the last version is from 2012 - very old. than i wanted to use havp, but this version is from 2010! and it looks like the latest security fix is not included in pfsense havp package. I use always stable version for my production environment so squid whould a good choice, but the version of the package is from 2008-2010! and the squid3 beta is also old 2012!

After reading lots of post here in this forum and the most of this over 23 pages in this thread i am not alight with a positiv feeling of using it. The package Info link of squid3 in pfsense leads also to this thread which is a bad overview for information to this package. In my eyes this part must created new with infos over the package and not to a thread with errors and other parts of an information to a package. So in short why are the packages old and what whould be the choice of using a webproxy with antivirus and content filter/security?
thx and this is no offense to anybody just my impression.

My country wasn't blocked, so I donated today!

[finalcut]

i am not kidding
also it happen with pfsense i try to buy two stickers (as simple first  donation) and they send the money back to me

any way i try to encourage my company to get pfsense support , they can buy any thing from anywhere

[sunghost]

You are right, donation for the developer and the project is always good. Thats not the question. i think its not good to use package which are older than 1 or 2 or more years. or packages which seems not longer develop. you know? All things getting faster, the development the bad guys and also the features of some packages which we cant use, while our older than 1 year. i also think its not in any case good to use the latest version, but one which is older than 6 month?! not good if the features or fixes alot. i think a security solution must be up to date. But the product pfsense and the idea behind it is great. dont misunderstand me.

[edanpedragosa]

@finalcut:

Are you on a 32-bit or 64-bit version?

Caching does not seem to work right now… I only get TCP_MISS....

Can you share us your configuration and settings for squid?

Thank you in advance!

[finalcut]

64-bit
do you have tcp_swapfail ?
