Hello, Make sure that all your squidGuard directories and files are owned by the same user that squid runs as.
I set mine to run as the same user that my Apache server runs as, i.e., nobody. In squid.conf, it is necessary to define the networks that you allow with acl our_networks src 192.168.1.0/24 ... For example, and then http_access allow our_networks # And finally deny all other access to this proxy http_access deny all The redirector_children option should look something like redirect_program /usr/local/bin/orsquidGuard -c /usr/local/orsquidGuard/orsquidGuard.conf and redirect_children 10 the default for redirect_children is 5, but that is never really enough. 10 or more is better, but not too many.
