      So ever since an update in April, I have been unable to successfully use Squid or Squid3. It used to work and now it hasn't and I cannot find a way to solve this issue. So what I see under services is that Squid has stopped. It isn't activated. Now if I try to dabble with the settings and attempt to change it or activate it, I cannot connect to anything and it quickly stops the service. If it does work, then I have the "The requested URL could not be retrieved" error. I have tried reinstalls, restarts and just about everything I can think of.

      PC specs.

      AMD FX Quad core 2.6GHz
      6GB DDR3 RAM
      ASRock motherboard
      250GB HDD

      Is there anything I am missing? I have tried everything all the way to reinstalling PfSense.

        Do you have a backup you can try to restore from?

        System -> Firmware -> Restore Full Backup
        or
        Diagnostics -> Backup/Restore
