Hi there,
When using squid and the traffic shaper is on, all downloads from the
pfsense box to the LAN seem to be limited by the download bandwidth
limit as set on the traffic shaper, even for cache hits.
Is there any way to speed up the serving of squid data to the LAN, as it
kind of defeats
This couldn't have been a more timely question. Here's a post from
the author of pf that explains all you'd ever want to know about
shaping.

This question pops up frequently, if this reply is too wordy, that's
just so I can reference it in the
Only hack I can think of is to lie and tell the traffic shaper that
your inbound pipe is 10mb (or whatever.)
Ah, that's sharpened up my understanding of traffic shaping quite a bit.
So, the bottom line is that to really make the most of squid, you should
be running it on another box?
I could do the hack of upping the download limit, but this would remove
any benefits of traffic shaping in that
The hack almost works, but I've had issues with it myself and I'm
still working on tracking down the bug that's causing the traffic to
end up in the wrong queue.

Is it feasible to add a rdr rule to send outbound http traffic to
another box on the lan? I'd do that myself
You can do that now...
