      Did a fresh install of Pfsense 2.2 installed Squid3 and once again Transparent Proxy not working. https works, but nothing else. I've tried adding NAT for all traffic from 80 to 3128 and still nothing.  Soon as I turn off Transparent Proxy everything is working again, but when I go to a site to check and see if the proxy is working they all say NO Proxy Detected.

      What did I do wrong?

      Thanks,
      Rick

        Did you selected a interface to use in trasparent mode or just enabled the checkbox?

            For me, Squid3 under pfSense 2.2 never works until I reboot after installing it.  After that it works perfectly for me in standard mode.

              A stop service and start may do the same result as reboot.

                      @Mr.Hitman:

                      How to get transparent Proxy work on version 2.2.1

                      The same way you do on squid3-dev on 2.1.

                      check log files, squid -k parse, system logs on gui.

                        This is most frustrating. Broken since 2.2 and still no fix. This isn't user error. Many people report upgrading from a perfectly working pre-2.2 config and the find transparent proxy then simply DOES NOT WORK. I provided a lot of pointers to the problem being redirection rather than squid itself, but still no resolution.

                        Who's responsible for firewall redirection on i386?

                            Has this been fixed? I don't want to add this then end up rebuilding my pfsense to remove it again.

                            Thanks

                                The package uninstall/reinstall will keep settings. It just removes gui files and binaries.

                                  CMB has posted a fix in another thread.

                                  Pls. search the forum.

                                  For me it worked fine.

                                    Link please. There are a large number of threads on this issue, and if each could have a link to the solution posted that would save a lot of time.

                                    Thanks,

                                      I second this - I searched and can't find any fix described by CMB.

                                      I use pfSense in a public facility that depends on transparent proxy support mainly for logging purposes, and after upgrading to 2.2.1 last week we've lost that. I've worked around it by setting up WPAD/PAC, but not all clients honor it (and it can be switched off by the user if they choose). As many others have stated, this is not a config issue or user error - the same setup that worked fine for years in 2.0 and 2.1 simply stopped working in 2.2.

                                            Even on Pfsense 2.2.3 Squid transparent proxy is not working. Still waiting for solution.
