Proxy logs - ERR: (65) No route to host

Hi there,

After I enabled transparent proxy, I got this lots of log entries on my Proxy server:

Either "Allow IPv6" option is checked or unchecked on my opnsense networking settings, still this logs appears. I also don't have firewall rules that blocks that kind of packet.

The proxy log is currently being flooded by that notice. If you have any idea guys how to turn this off or fix this, or it's just safe to ignore that notice, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi I have the same problem. Could you fix it?

thx

It looks like this might help, but it is an inherent problem of squid trying to connect via IPv6...

Or one could try to suppress the IPv6 responses by doing:

System: Settings: Networking: [ x ] Prefer to use IPv4 even if IPv6 is available

Turning on "Prefer to use IPv4 even if IPv6 is available" did not seem to get rid of the messages.  I don't have IPv6 defined on the interfaces.

I just enabled this, which might fix it.

Web Proxy, Administration,
