      I have a pretty bare pfsense box

      HAVP, Squid  cache, and an OpenVPN setup. (No users but myself when I am remote)

      Yet, even streaming a 480p video in youtube is terribly slow!

      Anyone have a cause or way to fix it? :S

      HAVP proxy is parent for squid with max file scan size of 5000K

      Squid proxy is transparent with options:

      never_direct allow all;cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3125 0 name=havp no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default;

      AND 51200M cache with maximum object size of 1048576KB

      EDIT: I uninstalled squid and HAVp and now it is extremely quick. however, it upsets me that I cannot have my old setup :S

        You mean you upgraded your box from a previously working setup or something else?

          HAVP always gave me trouble with youtube.  IIRC I added www.youtube.com to the exception list for HVAP and everything has been fine ever since.
