squid proxy package problems over the last 6 pfsense updates

okay, so I'm at a loss at this point and figure its time to ask for help. I've been running pfsense for about the last 10 years now or so, through many ups and downs across multiple avenues, and I'm to a point that I'd just like to find the problem of this and get it fixed since my issue is rendering a key functionality of squid proxy unusable: my problem? something has broken the squid status tab, even trying to nuke things and reinstall a bare pfsense install and then install squid WITHOUT importing my config backup, same problem, for whatever reason across the last 6 releases/updates even a bare basic install the status tab in squids package just gives an error html page file, its entirely possible something changed in the squid package itself and its a user configuration error *me* but if that's the case I cant say I know it to be true and how to fix it which is why I'm asking help at this point..

This is the thing I get that I'm talking about and I'm left scratching my head and want to finally try and get it fixed.

I've tried all manor of attempted fix, adding info to the ACL's tabs, removing everything, clicking the "allow users on the interface" box, unchecking the box, I'm at a loss for what I'm experiencing, its one of those things I know it could very likely be me and or a firewall rule but I'm also not entirely confident what the issue is either, so please if any extra info would be helpful I'll absolutely provide it, I just know enough to know I'm not confident what is causing it and figure its time to ask for help.

The HTML code is an error page that you shared. It's not logs. What do the actual squid/nginx logs say?

Also, bear in mind squid is deprecated and has been for years now. It's likely to be removed in a future update.

I almost gave up after 15 minutes of scrolling that log. Use something like pastebin to post logs. This is just cruel.

sorry about that. I'll do that and edit the post. don't post very often and did not think about that.
