Squidreverse (squid3): problem after each ip change!

[dneuhaeuser]

Hallo!

I have a small but annoying problem with the squidreverse function of squid3 package (version 3.1.20 pkg 2.0.5_3) on pfsense 2.0.1 (i386).

After a WAN ip change the new interface ip address for squidreverse isn't written to the config.

I think in the proxy config file this line should be automatically updated:

# Reverse Proxy settings
https_port xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 …

At the moment I have to re-save the reverse proxy config after each ip change to compensate for this.

Any help or workaround is appreciated!

Thanks

same point as postfix

That's because config files are created during "save" on gui.

did you tried to reboot it at 03:00 as an workaround?

Another way could be a php script that calls package_sync feature.

I finally came up with this patch:

 fi</endoff<br></eod<br> 

that works very well for me.
on each package restart squid is resynced now (the config is rewritten)
so I always have the correct WAN IP for reverse proxy in my config.

perhaps something like this can be integrated in the next release…

Maybe a "force package resync on restart" option on gui could help on it.
