        No.
        You can have as many connections per IP's as you want.
        As long as you dont run out of states (per default 10000) or your client has more than 65535 concurrent connection attemps. (which would lead to errors on the clients…)

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Unless you have changed the advanced options in your firewallrules (hidden behind a button, it will reveal some settings where you could do something like you asked for) there is no such limit by default.

              Are you talking about squid running at the pfSense as package? I think the package was never designed to be run in bridged mode.

                  Your rules look a bit strange to me though they should not be cause of the issue. You usually don't want to have any rules at wan and only one rule at the opt1:
                  pass protocol tcp, source any, sourceport any, destination any, destinatonport 80, gateway default.
