I've been trying to get this to work for days now and its not working. After bashing my head against the desk enough times, I've decided to man up and ask.

I'm desperately trying to set up a reverse proxy on the pfsense box itself. One because its a pretty powerful box and its not being utilized to the maximum at all and two because I don't have any spare machines to setup squid (or any other reverse proxy [capable]) server on.

So, on pfsense, everytime I set up rules (on Services>Proxy Server>General) as so:

acl surveillance dstdomain surveillance.myweb.local;
acl camera dstdomain camera.myweb.local;
http_access allow surveillance AND camera

(ad nauseum)

when I check the services, squid stops and refuses to restart until I remove them pesky acls that are supposed to make my life easier!

  1. What am I doing wrong?
  2. How can I get it to work?
  3. Is there another way/package I can use?

Thanks
