Windows 10 update use also .esd files

thanks! good to have a decent pattern to start with.

FYI, Squid -k parse is complaining that 'ignore-no-cache' is obsolete.. So it has no effect.

For the first one, I think the problem is here:

(x-|)

There is nothing on the other side of the OR. I don't know what file type would be handled by the extension x-. To fix it, just remove the entire (x-|).

For the second one, I don't know for sure, but it seems like a lot of regex just to handle .google..

doktornotor · Feb 16, 2017, 12:32 PM

I would strongly urge everyone to ditch the pointless idea of trying to cache dynamic sites. It doesn't work in like 99% of cases, plus breaks Squid. And please ditch ALL those antivirus patterns. None of them works. The AVs are streaming updates with new sigs to clients every couple of minutes these days. There's nothing to cache.

saluto · Feb 16, 2017, 2:26 PM

So why use squid? Because most sites are changing to https.

Various web content are in videos, overloading the network.

KOM · Feb 16, 2017, 2:45 PM

So why use squid?

I use it as a filtering platform for squidguard.

Various web content are in videos

Caching videos is pointless unless everyone is watching the same ones.

I have seen commercial products that take squid and heavily modify it with all kinds of custom stuff, and they claim they can cache almost everything.

Valeriy · Feb 16, 2017, 2:55 PM

I use squid for caching, it saves bandwidth for Microsoft Updates and Apple updates + SquidGuard as Ad+Malware+porn filter

KOM · Feb 16, 2017, 3:18 PM

it saves bandwidth for Microsoft Updates

I have yet to see a working config with squid and WU. Most people give up and use WSUS.

Valeriy · Feb 16, 2017, 3:20 PM

I cannt use WSUS, PCs are not under my control.

KOM · Feb 16, 2017, 3:53 PM

If you have a working squid config that caches WU for Win7-10 clients, I'd love to see it.

danbak365 · Feb 16, 2017, 8:33 PM

These refresh pattern made a big difference on my WI-fi network.
Since I started using it my clients have been very happy with the speed.
Even though, now it seems like they need some update, I still appreciate this well done job.
Thanks

aGeekhere · Feb 16, 2017, 9:52 PM

You can use squidlite to check if the refresh pattens are improving the hit rate. I have found that the comodo antivirus updates were caching ( cannot retest at the moment) and so did window updates. The best thing is to test if the hit ratio is improving.

@KOM

Here are changes made to squid.conf (or through GUI on pfsense in corresponding custom fields)
that allows caching of Windows Update for me:

I had to rebuild my disk cache 2 days ago, so I assume not everything is cached yet. Or some of my settings needs improvement…

It might not be ideal setup.
If you have some comments, improvements, please let me know.

It is good.
This is result for yesterday:

21177
(18% HITS vs. 82% MISS)
[2.3.3-DEVELOPMENT]/var/squid/logs: cat /var/squid/logs/access.log.2 | grep HIT | grep windowsupdate -c

:o

81% miss rate seems awfully high for something that's supposedly working good.

Should look at the hit/miss ratio of file sizes. If you miss 99% of 1kB files it does not matter however it can through your ratio out.
