Pfsense 2.2 + Squid3 Transparent HTTP proxy Not working again
-
no fix about this error? i also have the same problem. :(
-
Even on Pfsense 2.2.3 Squid transparent proxy is not working. Still waiting for solution.

Mine is working fine, I just finished the setup and AD Filter is doing well for multiple Interfaces (squidguard).
-
Somewhere in forum posts, I saw people who are using traffic shaping limiter and transparent squid proxy facing this issue. Could you confirm that?

It's broken allright.
To make long story short - I've found out UI incorrectly configures http_port directive(s), and squid.conf has to be fixed manually.
In regular forward proxy case (no transparent), at least one port directive needs to exist:
http_port [ADDR:]3128In transparent proxy case, at least two port directives are needed:
http_port 127.0.0.1:3128 intercept
http_port ADDR:3128where ADDR is LAN interface address.
Of course, that's not enough - something needs to intercept and redirect traffic to squid.
Luckily, that's clickable, and generated rdr works just fine.
Just make sure you click on correct interface(s) on Services->Proxy Server. (Use loopback as proxy interface if using transparent proxy)HTH

I've just installed pfSense 2.2.4 with squid3, squidguard, and lightsquid. This all worked fine under pfSense 2.1 but not so much under 2.2.4 so THANK YOU for your help. Just a couple of questions: "that's clickable, and generated rdr works just fine." Sorry but, what's clickable?
Are you saying you should select "loopback" for Transparent Proxy Interface(s) instead of LAN?
I still can't get lightsquid to work, even with these changes. But, I'll take all the help I can get with this!

I have the same issue. :( pfsense 2.2.4 64bits transparent proxy + limiter

I'm having the same problem whenever I activate transparent proxy pages won't open, this is my first time installing and using pfsense and I thought I configured something wrongly and luckily I came across this page in a search after a day of wrestling with this problem, I'm wondering is there going to be a work around or an update to squid because that is one of the main reasons for installing pfsense.
EDIT: I forgot to mention this is on i386 platform

The solution is to stop using transparent mode. Worst thing in the world. It won't handle any HTTPS sites without MitM warnings, and you really don't want to screw around with having to install certificates on every client that will use the proxy. Put squid in explicit mode (uncheck Transparent mode) and then implement WPAD to enable auto-detection of the proxy.

But in non transparent proxy mode, the Lightsquid doesn't work :(
