Squid and "Bypass Proxy for These Source IPs"
0%
Description
It might be a Squid issue and please let me know if I need to file this issue at Squid upstream.
Following is what I'm experiencing with Pfsense 2.3-RELEASE and perhaps older version of Pfsense(I've been using Pfsense for quite a while now, oldest version unknown).
If I set any hostname(s) in Squid "Bypass Proxy for These Source IPs"(I add my TV and DVD/Blue Ray players for Netflix, may be there are other workarounds but this was the simplest workaround!) and I restart my Pfsense box Squid related services stop working when the hosts added to "Bypass Proxy for These Source IPs" are offline. I haven't "fully" tested if restarting Pfsense box when the hosts added to "Bypass Proxy for These Source IPs" are online.
Please do let me know if I can provide additional information.

When you put a hostname into that field it is only resolved when the ruleset is loaded. If the hostnames cannot be resolved at that time, they won't be resolved again until the next filter reload.
What you need to do instead is put the hostnames into an alias, and then put the alias into the bypass field in squid. When the hostname is in an alias, filterdns will periodically attempt to resolve it again, so it will work once it can be resolved after bootup.
