OPNsense Services: Squid Web Proxy will not run

[clnutter1984]

Hello, all I currently have a new install of OPNsense setup as a Transparent Filtering Bridge. I would like to do some AV scanning and went to setup  C-ICAP / ClamAV / Squid Web Proxy plugins.  c-icap and clamav run just fine.  But when I go to start the squid web proxy it errors out. 

I see the errros but I could you a bit of help here sorting them. 

Here or the logs.

Bump.

Anyone want to give me a pointer on how to solve this?  I have tried several times to re walk though the steps and it keeps giving me this error no matter what i tried.

If I not blind, their I can see the error...

ERROR: No forward-proxy ports configured.

Run on the console this command and read it carfully: squid -k parse

Regardas.

NOTE: AV, buy a bitdefender or other, open source AV cannot beat a comercial AV.

Let me be clear I have never setup squid before.  So, when I look at this I am not seeing what I need to see. Thanks for any help provided.
