squidGuard can appear to not be started since it gets called on-demand. The real question is, is it doing its job?

sjain

When I reboot the machine then squidguard service not starting and then when I am trying to start the service so it is showing me stopped, which i have drop the screen shot in my last message.

Thanks,

Yes yes I understand you perfectly but you didn't answer my question. When you go to a blocked page, does the page get blocked? In other words, does squidGuard work regardless of whether it shows as being started or not?

sjain

when I tried to open the any website it show me page not found and squidguard stopped showing.

Do you have blacklists enabled? If so, have you downloaded and expanded the list? Is there anything in the System log? Is there anything in /var/squidGuard/logs/squidGuard.log? Does squid work by itself without squidGuard?

sjain

1. Yes I enabled blacklists option.

2. Yes I downloaded list and expanded from this link (http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz )

3. I have checked the system logs and found error which mentioned below

pfSense php-fpm[12157]: /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/pbi/squid-amd64/sbin/squid -k reconfigure -f /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/squid/squid.conf' returned exit code '1', the output was 'squid: ERROR: No running copy'

4. Yes Squid is working without squidGuard.

Kindly help me from this issue.

Thanks,

When was the last time you rebooted the box? I have seen numerous cases where squid/squidGuard is misbehaving and a reboot fixes it right up. Which version of pfSense are you using? If it's the 2.2 branch then I can't help you since I suspect that one or more squid/squidGuard packages are broken.

sjain

today when I have open the ticket on this form and I am using Pfsense version 2.2.

So please can you tell me which version are the stable in PfSense.

Thanks,

I have squid3 3.1.20 pkg 2.1.2 and squidGuard-squid3 1.4_4 pkg v.1.9.6 working like a charm under pfSense 2.1.5.

sjain

It is possible to install squid3 3.1.20 pkg 2.1.2 and squidGuard-squid3 1.4_4 pkg v.1.9.6 in pfsense 2.2

Thanks,

1. Blocking of Facebook works for me using the Socialnet category. Are you running in explicit mode or transparent mode?

2. Read this -> https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=93097.0

Either Enable Secure Shell in System - Advanced - Admin Access - Secure Shell and then use SCP to copy files over or install the File Manager package and use that to copy files to & from.

facebook will be only block http not https unless you run explicit mode which then you need to configure WPAD.

facebook will be only block http not https unless you run explicit mode which then you need to configure WPAD.

You can block HTTPS in Transparent mode, but you need to install a pfSense server certificate on every client that will use the proxy, which is a massive pain in the ass.

Kindly suggest..
