It looks like I am back with the FreeBSD and WCCP issue again.

I have installed FreeBSD 10.4 with IPFIREWALL and "pseudo-device gre "
enabled in the recompiled kernel. Since the documentation says that the
current version works without additional patches, I then proceeded with
installation of squid and edited the squid.conf according to the FAQs.

I used the following for gre:

ifconfig gre0 create
ifconfig gre0 My_SQUID_IP MY_ROUTER_IP 255.255.255.255 up ifconfig gre0
tunnel My_SQUID_IP MY_ROUTER_IP route delete MY_ROUTER_IP

and the following fro IPFW:

ipfw add 49 allow tcp from My_SQUID_IP to any
ipfw add 50 fwd 127.0.0.1,3128 tcp from any to any 80 via gre0 in

What I see happening when I do a tcpdump is that the router is forwarding
gre packets but are not being redirected by my 50 ipfw rule. Debug on the
router also confirms that the router sees the cache and sets it as "usable"

It looks like the last version of FreeBSD that I was able to successfully
configure Squid with WCCP was 4.6.2. I have tried to follow the postings on
the subject, but with no success.

Please help or direct me to any useful pointers.

Ralph
