Description
The page https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/list.html contains a big red warning about using Squid/SquidGuard/Lightqsuid. The warning has been around for a few years, so is it still relevant? It seems that either the warning or the Squid packages should be removed by now.
Danger The add-on packages Squid, SquidGuard and Lightsquid are deprecated in pfSense Plus and pfSense CE software due to a large number of unfixed upstream security vulnerabilities. Netgate STRONGLY recommends that users uninstall these packages. The packages will no longer function in the next major release of pfSense Plus and pfSense CE software.

The packages are still deprecated, we don't support them any longer, but they still function so we have not yet removed them. Users are free to use them, at their own risk, while being informed of their problems.
