Squid3 - New GUI with sync, normal and reverse proxy

[dalex]

@Cino:

uninstall 2.7.9 then install squid3…  squid 3 does support IPv6, but it doesn't listen on an IPv6 address tho. So clients would need to connect to ipv4:3128. You can however in advance options add an IPv6 interface e.g http_port [xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx]:3182

lightsquid still has issues with its pbi but search for my workaround to get it working. It is compatible with squid3

Thanks a lot.

I can live with v4 clients, and i will try the custom addition.

I want IPv6 Internet behavior for Squid because my 6to4 Tunnel ends in a (very) faster local Gate (International circuits much larger/faster than my ISP's one).

Hello pfSense Gurus!

I have been using pfSense for about 2 years now and I love it. One of my favorite features has come to be Squid2 and Squid3. Right now I am using Squid3 to run both proxy and reverse proxy.

Using this forum thread and other threads on this forum I have my reverse proxy running. There are two questions if have to make it work perfectly:

1. How can I force Squid3 (the reverse proxy part in pfSense) to suppress the addition headers identifying the host as Squid? (picture of my headers attached.[Contained in the red box])

2. How can I get Squid (reverse proxy) to forcefully cache static (text/HTML) content?

Squid3 will query my web server on the local network every time I connect. I have two remote machines that I use for testing. When I look in my Squid logs both machines show their remote IP address separately and each time it says "TCP_MISS/200". (Picture attached)

I have a openVPN connection between two networks. One network is the public IP(site B) I use to run my website and the other network is my private network(site A). It works right now and the DNS has no problems resolving.

When i check the headers (in my example[contained in blue box]) it says that is has not changed for two days and has an eTag. That header is from Apache server itself(I have checked headers on localhost using [curl -I]).

If I understand how the reverse proxy is supposed to be working. Since it is being presented with a not changed since date it should be caching it at (site B), but instead it queries (site A) for each call.

tl;dr - Need help suppressing Squid's headers in reverse proxy mode and forcing the reverse proxy to cache static content.

Hi marcelloc/pfsense squid folks.

I've been using squid3/squidguard setup in a redundant CARP pair setup for quite some time and was just cooking up a new pair for a new site and ran into a problem that I guess I've pretty much always had.

Sync to configured system backup server - never sync's to the backup.  The configured system backup server is working as expected sharing my DHCP/DNS/Firewall rules but I have always had to turn on..

Sync to host(s) defined below - set the same server as I use in the system config and then everything does get copied over to the backup.

Since it was easy to fix/workaround it never really bothered me much but I'm just setting up a brand fresh install of 2.2.1 and it seems to still happen.  Am I the only one?

Thanks!

Hi,

How do I add this list http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt to squid3? or do I need squidGuard ?

I'd be VERY interested in the same feature.

I create this list myself. It's just one (domains) big list, which I pack together with f.i. shalla or mesd.
My main OS is Arch Linux, I use a program called hosts-update see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hosts-update/
From the hosts file, which is basically the MVPS list, I create the 'domains' file, which can be used by squidguard.

If there is interest, I could place this list (mvps only) on github.

Does the version on the pfsense packages ie:

beta
0.2.8
platform: 2.2

contain support for HTTP/1.1 ?

We are having a problem with keep-alives that need this support.
Thanks

BTW the link https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/commits/master/config/34 that is on the version number leads to a 404.

That should probably be this one then:

@hackersoft:

I am still experiencing the same problem.

I've got the time last week to reinstall pfsense amd-64 and the same problem exists.

So my solution right now is to reboot pfsense everyday using CRON @ 1 am. That way pfsense will be alive the next working day.

I'm suspecting one of the packages installed is messing it up at 12 midnight so I do a cron to reboot the machine @ 1am daily.

To heimdal, you can install the CRON package then add a cron task:

0 1 * * * root /sbin/reboot

I hope the fix will be released soon.

for some wierd reason im getting this too, a look at the logs doesnt show much so its been one of  those evil bugs that dont leave any traces. i did mitigate it by simply seting up a cron job that runs squid at 12.15 am …

currently i have squid, squidguard, ntopng and freeradius setup and running its just this but that is "bugging" me

Hello.
I need IPv6 support, so i think Squid3 is my only option.

squid 3 does support IPv6, but it doesn't listen on an IPv6 address tho. So clients would need to connect to ipv4:3128. You can however in advance options add an IPv6 interface e.g http_port [xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx]:3182

How can I use IPv6 with the Reverse Proxy? I currently listen on IPv4/80 and IPv4/443 and would like to additionally listen on IPv6.

Interesting error, while AV is enabled while navigating to most websites (not all websites) I get TAG_NONE/500 Status error. Any suggestions?

Wouldn't pfBlockerNG work better in this case?

Hi there.

I found a "bug" / "feature" when we have IPv6.
Seems that I have to add manually the IPv6 to listen on the squid (on the integration box)

Is this normal ?

Yes its normal. Its been that way since squid3 was added as a package. I would say its a feature that needs to be added to the GUI. To enable it and grab the interface IP from the interfaces you select

I installed version 0.3.0 today and ended my life. Computers with setted proxy manually, can not load pages. I had to take out the proxy settings of the LAN and did not want to do that.
Is there any way for me to go back to version 0.2.9?  :'(
hugs!
