Squid proxy not working after boot/WAN reconnect

[Steve Evans]

After boot or if my WAN connection drops and recovers I've found that my squid proxy isn't proxying. Changing the config (disabling and re-enabling transparent proxy, for example) kick starts it.

I found that the "pfctl -sn" command reports the following when it's running:

rdr on msk2 inet proto tcp from any to ! (msk2) port = http -> 127.0.0.1 port 3128

but not when it isn't. After some googling I found that the service would be started if I executed the following:

/etc/rc.filter_configure_sync

I've now set this up as a cron job that runs every 15 minutes, but that's distinctly sub-optimal.

Why is this necessary? Is this expected behaviour? Am I simply being impatient and it would recover in time?

I'm running the nanobsd version; not sure if that's relevant.

What squid version are you using?

[Steve Evans]

2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.3

Is this a known problem?

I was a bit hesitant to try other versions as I've tweaked the web interface somewhat as shown HERE.

Thanks,

Steve
