            after uninstalling squid used wincp to delete squid files which was left behind by the program in /usr/pbi/(squid-amd64/squid-i386) to make sure find files in wincp using squid*.* what ever the result delete it manually then after that reboot reinstall squid package. :)

                The problem was cos I enabled transparent mode right after installation for some reason, so I installed squid3 restarted pfsense  setup and started squid3 restarted again then turned on transparent proxy and all is ok. Now last small problem when I enable transparent ssl https sites do not load any ideas on this?

                  This is normal and the reason you should avoid transparent mode unless you plan on installing a pfSense certificate into every client that will use the proxy.
