      Hi all,

      [edit: mods, please can this be moved to the squid sub forum of packages, I've just found the section following posting this]

      Being new (1 - 2 days only) to pfsense and all things lovely, I have been trying to set up squidguard so I can filter categories of website for my company, but when enabled, browsing is so slow I am wondering if there is a guide on how to correctly configure things so that the users don't complain. I'm using it as a transparent proxy on HTTP so that I don't have to re-configure all users' computers internet connection settings.

      pfsense 2.3
      intel core 2 duo e6600 processor
      4GB DDR2
      quad port intel pro/1000 vt NIC

      Thanks,
      Simon

        Just to say, this was actually solved by simply a reboot, now I have a transparent squidguard proxy blocking dodgy HTTP stuff without the speed issues.

        Thanks,
