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.
