What "traffic flow" would be right in a transparent "squid + dansguardian" pfsense setup?
My thought (I'm not sure if it's right):
LAN interface traffic comes into port 80
Destination port is redirected to 8080 (dans guardian)
dansguardian outputs traffic to port 3128 (Squid)
Squid outputs traffic out in WAN interface to port 80
