      hi all
      i've been trying to install pfsense with squid guard and squid proxy
      but when ever i restart pfsense, they will crash ( i don't even thinck that they launch )

      from a fresh install or factory state this is what i do :
      1- setup ip's on the lan
      2- setup  captive portal (for using mac filtering or to use use name and password to be able to get access)
      3-instal quid proxy
      4- set to transparent proxy and tured up the cache
      5- install quid guard
      6- set it up and download a blck list

      once i've done that it works fine all until i restart pfsense and that when al of quid crashes or fails to start

            This happen to me too, whenever i reboot pfsense, squid & squidGuard doesnt work, the only fix is to re download the blacklist from squidGuard, any better solution?

                Go to pfSense console.  Press 8 for Shell.
