[squid-users] Squid 2.7.x No Transparent Smartphones issues with youtube?
Hi people. I setup squid 2.7.x My LAN works without issue, now I setup my WiFi network to test some smartphones example Atrix 2. Those devices doesn't have the option to auto discover proxy settings, I setup manually done. I could browse Internet, but there is something that took my attention, I could watch any video in youtube. I can search videos and that stuff but once I click to watch any of them it just show me loading... squid logs won't show any DENIED I still don't setup any ACL for this. Any comment about your experience with smartphones? My Setup is not Transparent-Proxy. Thanks.

Is there any particular reason you are using squid2.7? No offense meant, but you might consider upgrading to a newer version. - Original Message - From: Beto Moreno pam...@gmail.com To: squid-users@squid-cache.org Sent: Friday, June 28, 2013 4:32 PM Subject: [squid-users] Squid 2.7.x No Transparent Smartphones issues with youtube?

This is a test enviroment under pfsense, is all. I have the option to move to squid 3.x I can. Now related to smartphone, 3.x fix this came of issues? Running Squid under pfsense? Pardon me if someone finds what I am about to say offensive, But in my opinion, pfsense is a childs toy, and no sane man would put it into production in a serious environment, More specifically, in regards to squid proxy, I find that it is absurd the way they bury the squid.conf in some obscure xml scheme, as I have placed multiple inquiries to the pfsense community over this issue, the response I got... Was essentially that they are purposely making direct editing of configuration file difficult to do for the end users. I was offended by this, as I find their user interface for squid3 lacking in configuration directives, limiting the users ability to truly have the freedom to configure the squid proxy under pfsense in any sensible manner. But then again, that is just my opinion, and maybe I am wrong, but thats how I see it. Hopefully some serious squid enthusiasts/experts can assist the pfsense developerment team in developing a better interface for squid proxy under pfsense, or even simply allow an option in the pfsense web gui for direct editing of the configuration file for advanced or custom tailored options. Once again, I apologize if voicing my opinion on this matter if it was less than productive. Fix Nichols http://www.squidblacklist.org

Hi Ben. I have been using pfsense for more than 4 years without issue, I understand and accept your opinion. I have running squid with pfsense and centos to, love it. U point something interes about some advanced GUI to edit squid under pfsense, I'm with u, this is complex because but not impossible, squid have so much features that we I used I think 20% of features, is a huge program. But in my case, I edit squid under pfsense manually this way I have a better control on what I'm doing, I just the GUI to setup the basic settings and them boom, manually. Now returning to the problem, what can cause my smartphone to not display youtube video, but let me browse and search? Thanks Ben.

This might sound silly, but does your phone support flash? Have you tried http://www.youtube.com/html5 Might be able to get them to load in html5 if your phone doesnt support flash. Also, might I ask how you managed to edit the squid.conf in pfsense? Where is it located in pfsense?
Re: [squid-users] Squid 2.7.x No Transparent Smartphones issues with youtube?
Ben, remember that pfsense is based on freeBSD, every package u install goes to /usr/loca/etc/ There u find squid folder settings. Yes support flash, I have a hotspot to and there youtube works without issue. I will try that link u point me once I arrive at home.

Do you have a captive portal where the phones work? and manually configured they do not? I know that a lot of smartphones do not support proxies very well. Android on recently added proper proxy detection and most apps do not use the proxy settings regardless of manual configuration. Flash is on app which requires each scriptlet to have explicit proxy support or it does not work, it does not gateway requests to a proxy even if the flash interpreter is aware of one being needed.

Do you have a captive portal where the phones work? and manually configured they do not? Yes, before I test in my hotspot and works. But u have told a lot things that explain a lot things, lack of support by smartphones. I can surf, but youtube won't work, I'm fitting right now :-).
