Great, that clarifies a lot.

The problem is that NAT is being done on a separate box from Squid. The
current Squid attempt to be as fully transparent as possible in
intercept/transparent mode. That includes ensuring the domain/IP the
client was contacting is actually the one Squid is using too - that is
mandatory due to CVE-2009-0801 issues.

With NAT on a separate box Squid only knows its own IP as the
destination. So on the outbound things get looped.


What you need to do to fix this is move the NAT rule changing port to
3128 onto the Squid VM. Have pfSense route port 80 traffic with 10.2.0.2
as the gateway router (policy routing) unless it came from 10.2.0.2 in
the first place.

After that your proxy should be usable. But there are some additional
security issues that need resolving as well:

 1) renumber the interception port in Squid to something other than
3128. Squid needs to use 3128 for forward-proxy traffic from the
clients, manager API acces, icons, etc.

 2) update the Squid VM firewall to prevent external machines directly
accesing the intercept port you choose. It is only needed to be used by
packets between Squid and the firewall on the same machine. If any
outside machines do access it you will have looping problems and
potentially a DoS happening.

You should not need to set outgoing IP at all. Remove that before
testing the above changes.
