    I have installed squid3 on a fresh pfsense install at home (details below). It works great on the LAN interface. However I am in a configuration where I have an OpenVPN client on my pfsense tunneling to an external server, and want to use that interface exclusively.

    The VPN setup works fine without squid (OpenVPN client setup + specific interface + NAT outbound rules + Firewall rules setup so that all traffic goes through the VPN client by default)

    However I can't get squid3 to bind to the OpenVPN interface - when I do that the browser just can't connect ("there is no internet connection") - transparent mode on/off having no effect. And there's nothing in the logs or on the proxy monitor page.

    Is there another trick to bind squid3 to a VPN client interface, that I'm not aware of ?

    thanks

    my setup:

    • dedicated machine
    • pfsense 2.2.4-RELEASE (amd64)
    • squid3 0.4.7 (only package installed)

      try in squid to add the network on the ACL tab add the network of your OpenVPN in the allowed section

        What mode of OpenVPN connection are you using?
