      Hello Community,

      after a buisy weekend I discovered that there was an update to the pfSense firewall.
      So I decided to click it … I guess that was the worst decission ever ... might have worked on a Tuesday, but never do that Mondays.
      Anyhow.

      The setup:

      • Squid 3.x as transpartent proxy , using the standart port on the LAN interface.
      • LAN is clicked on the transpartent setting part
      • Lan is also activated for general interfaces ( top part)
      • no additional ACLs added
      • no additional settings

      The result :
      Squid stopped working after 2 minutes. So I was trying to investigate what caused that mess.

      What I did so far :

      • reinstalled squid ( same result , no internet access)
      • upgraded squid from version 2 to version 3, no change
      • downgraded to the prior version of pfsense ( very bad idea, cost my 2 hours of me life to fix it afterwards and re-roll to 2.2)
      • checked all log files. No result, nothing there that shouldn't be there

      What I found out:

      • When you access squid on the designated server port (3125)  - it works.
      • When I take the settings of my browser off ( direct internet access ) - no connection

      My question :

      • Does Squid set up a NAT rules for the server ? If so, would I see that on the NAT GUI ?

      I hope the section I opened the thread is the correct one, wasnt qutie sure where to put it.

      Thank you very much for any idea how I can fix this issue in advance.

      Best Regards
      Andi
