Squid ClamAv wrong redirect URL
0%
Description
After changing the pfsense hostname the squid proxy still redirects to the old hostname if it finds a virus. I also tried adding a redirect command in the custom squid config: no effect. I'm not the only one with this problem. Ref: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=115323.0

Why? It's configurable in the GUI.

No bug here, let alone "very high" severity, can be closed. This is configurable in the GUI as shown above.

This option is not working also.
At first I changed the hostname of the pfsense installation. After that squid still redirected to the OLD hostname.(This is BUG NO. 1) Then I tried to set the "Redirect URL". Squid STILL redirects to the OLD hostname ( BUG NO.2 )
So there is not only one Bug. There are two....

The default URL is set to the pfSense GUI URL on package install. Simply because that's the only sensible default. There is no hook anywhere to make the package discover that you all of a sudden have decided to change your hostname. When you change the hostname, kindly do your job properly and do it everywhere as required.

And as for "the GUI does nothing":
$ grep "redirect http" /usr/local/etc/c-icap/squidclamav.conf redirect https://gw.testnet.local/squid_clwarn.php
$ grep "redirect http" /usr/local/etc/c-icap/squidclamav.conf redirect http://proxy.example.com/blocked.html
After making it empty yet again:
$ grep "redirect http" /usr/local/etc/c-icap/squidclamav.conf redirect https://gw.testnet.local/squid_clwarn.php

I'm seeing the same redirect behavior. I can confirm that changing the GUI does update the squidclamav.conf file as indicated, but I'm still redirected to the original URL when testing with EICAR. You can see a sample browser window in the third image. I did not change my host name, I'm just trying to redirect to another server (using the word "flooby" as a placeholder for the other server URL)

Exact my problem.
So please reopen the issue. @Kill Bill

Solution:
when I installed pfSense with all packages I use, I gave it a domain name.
After some while, I changed the domain name to my DC, somehow SquidClamAV keeps the old data so I get pointed to unavailable address.
To fix this issue I edited 2 files: (Diagnostics - Edit File)
/usr/local/etc/c-icap/squidclamav.conf
/usr/local/etc/c-icap/squidclamav.conf.pfsense
- Why them both? because every time I edited the .conf file my settings get back to what it was. after changing them both pfSense kept the configuration and problem were fixed.
