Okay, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. When I went to reinstall, pkg_mgr.php reported that is was "Unable to retrieve package info from www.pfsense.com. Cached data will be used." I reinstalled Squid, apparently from cache, and it was nowhere to be found in the Services menu (but it remained to be listed in pkg_mgr_installed.php). So, I cleared the configuration from config.xml, removed /tmp/rules.debug and tried installing again. Still a no go -- nothing on the Services menu, and this time, it doesn't appear in pkg_mgr_installed.php. Any ideas?
Now that pfsense.com seems to be back online (what happened?!?), I have been able to reinstall Squid. However, there are some sites I need to use for work that simply refuse to work through a proxy, so I need occasionally to disable Squid. Well, I just tried stopping the Squid service an everything freaked out again -- the webgui totally stopped responding. Both the webgui and my ability to browse the Internet were completely cut off. The outage again lasted about 3 minutes, seemed to only affect http access (my SSH connection to a host outside of my network was unaffected), and then everything returned back to normal. I was finally able to stop the Squid service.
