Then the first thing you and your readers need to be clear on is that
SquidGuard was end-of-life'd many years ago. It is long overdue for
removal or replacement. This has impact such as the one you saw on HTTPS
traffic support which was only added to Squid-3 after SG stopped being
maintained.

The best thing to be doing these days is upgrading simple configs like
the one you presented earlier to using modern Squid features directly in
squid.conf - as I recommended earlier.

For very complex configurations (or emergency upgrades) the ufdbguard
tool can be used as a drop-in replacement for squidGuard while the
config migration is evaluated. It handles the HTTPS situation better
than SG does, but for simple configs any helper is still very much
overkill and a performance drag.
