      Hi Team,

      I have installed squid then sarg and the HAVP on a pfsense system 2.0

      That site (A) is connected via vpn to another site (B).

      There is a intranet server that runs at site B and all the pcs at A goes to it by just typing the word "intranet" in the browser but now after installing HAVP, the are getting an error msg instead of the site.

      If they type the ip they can open it in the web browser.

      Here is the error attached.

      Could someone assist pls.

      Cheers,

      Raj

        try to include intranet and it's ip on /etc/hosts pfsense file.

        restart havp/save config to be sure it will reload config.

          Ok that did the trick.

          Another question if I may, now when installing things like adobe reader or flash , I get the error "Unable to unzip metafile file"

          If i switch off Havp Proxy and remove the rule from squid, it works fine.

          Any idea oon how to stop this pls.

          Cheers,

          Raj

              you can  add site exceptions using never_direct squid directive on custom options

                HAVP has already added the following "never_direct allow all;cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3125 0 name=havp no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default;"
                Could I just add a second directive?

                Cheers,

                    So the custom option is currently "never_direct allow all;cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3125 0 name=havp no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default;" and I change it to look like "always_direct allow all;cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3125 0 name=havp no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default;"

                    Would HAVP still detect viruses on http?

                    By the way thanks marcelloc for all the hard job.

                    Cheers,

                    Raj

                      keep never_direct acl the way it is and include always_direct acl before it with sites you want/need to skip havp

                        so if i were to allow adobe.com then the custom setting would be : "always_direct;adobe.com;never_direct allow all;cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3125 0 name=havp no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default;"

                        If I need more sites, it would be "always_direct;adobe.com;facebook.com;never_direct allow all;cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3125 0 name=havp no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default;"

                        Correct?

                        Cheers,

                          remove ; during acl declaration.

                          always_direct .adobe.com .facebook.com;

                            Hi Marcello,

                            Here is the rule that I have currently "always_direct .get.adobe.com .youtube.com;never_direct allow all;cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3125 0 name=havp no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default;"    and I am still having issues with adobe reader or flash player download.

                            I get the error "Unable to unzip metafile file"

                            Where did I go wrong pls?

                            Cheers,

                            Raj

                              I`ve posted just a sample, not a real config. You need an acl before always_direct directive, take a look on squid wiki page.

                              http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/always_direct/

                                I believe this should be the rule "always_direct allow .get.adobe.com .youtube.com;never_direct allow all;cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3125 0 name=havp no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default;"

                                According to the http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/always_direct/

                                "For example, to always directly forward requests for
                                local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
                                something like:

                                acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
                                always_direct allow local-servers"

                                What am I missing pls

                                Sorry to be a bit stupid but this is my first attempt with squid.  :-(

                                Cheers,

                                  change

                                  always_direct .get.adobe.com .youtube.com

                                  to

                                  acl skip_havp dstdomain .get.adobe.com .youtube.com; always_direct allow skip_havp;

                                  Take a good look on squid wiki web site to learn how it works  ;)

                                        Got it sorted spaces in the argument was the issue, here is the right formula for anyone out there "acl skip_havp dstdomain .adobe.com .youtube.com;always_direct allow skip_havp;never_direct allow all;cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3125 0 name=havp no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default;"

                                        A great thanks to marcello for all the help.

                                        By the way marcello is there a better way to add sites as this might get pretty ugly pretty quickly something like allowed websites list.

                                        Cheers,

                                          As squid3 package is beta, I can include an always_direct field on it's gui when I have time.  ;)

                                            try to include intranet and it's ip on /etc/hosts pfsense file.

                                            restart havp/save config to be sure it will reload config.
