      This thread from e2guardian forum shows hot to activate SSL support for FREEBSD using the ports.

      The same procedure can be used to turn other options that are turn off in the current package.

      What I am missing is how to get the e2guardian to be package with the SSL support or other turned on option to be able to install it in pfsense.

        In the following thread you can find how to compile and package the e2guardian software for pfsense with the last FreeBSD ports version.

        You can activate MITM SSL support and other options.

        https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=115276.msg658813#msg658813

        Some e2guardian configurations have to be made directly on conf files.  This present a problem.

        Every time you make configuration changes through the GUI and save, the custom/manual settings are removed.

        I guess will need to modify some of the scripts in order to keep the manual settings.  This will present a challenge.

          Maybe someone can modify the GUI scripts to include a custom text box field in the Groups section and the General section.

          Such that in the custom box anyone could add the settings not implemented in the GUI.

          For example the "nocheckcertsitelist" setting is not available for the Groups configuration.

          I guess for the e2guardian version the GUI was intended did not had that setting available at the moment of programming it.

          With the custom boxes the GUI can be extended to new versions by appending the box's text to the GUI generated configurations.

            @marcelloc:

            I've started fixing packages to 2.3. If postfix gets merged and works fine, e2guardian(on current port version) is on the list.

            Marcelloc.  I have not seen you comment in this thread since December/2015.

            Could you evaluate making the changes I am suggesting?

              I see that postfix was denied… My guess is he is out...  I HOPE not, but...  Someone else may have to take over the package.  I'm a little disappointed since many people including myself donated money toward this package.  I could understand if e2guardian was also denied, but as far as I know it's still just incomplete.

              It's also possible that PFSense would deny this package as well.  It's not as cumbersome as postfix is, but I don't know what direction they are moving since previously the postfix package was approved...  :'(

                This really would've been a big step forward for PfSense firewall, as web filtering goes. The standard SquidGuard is a nightmare. Really would've loved that HTTPS scanning :(

                    Here is some summary to install the current e2guardian in psense:

                    1. Create a virtual machine with FreeBSD 10.3 or the same version of your pfsense's FreeBSD.
                    Make sure it has Internet access and connectivity to your pfsense machine

                    2. Fetch e2guardian from FreeBSD ports

                    pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/e2guardian-3.4.0.3.txz

                    Fetching e2guardian-3.4.0.3.txz

                    3. Please have a look at https://www.freshports.org/www/e2guardian/ - by default SSL=off: by default- you need to switch it on.

                    portsnap fetch extract update && cd /usr/ports/www/e2guardian

                    make config

                    At this stage you need to check SSL to build e2g with SSL support or check other build options you need.

                    make install clean

                    4. Create package for personal use.

                    make package

                    But it says to run "portlint -CN" and that gives an error.
                    That portlint is only relevant if your developing a package yourself.
                    In this case your compiling an existing package and probably safe to ignore the portlint 'error' about to much files and cleanup to be done..

                    5. Copy the created package to your pfsense machine. 
                    If your FreeBSD virtual machine does not have a web server then use ftp or scp to transfer the file
                    If your FreeBSD virtual machine has a web server that can serve the package you can repeat step #2 using the corresponding path.

                    6. Install package
                    If you copied the package using the web server method the package is already installed.
                    If you copied the package by other means then install package
                    #pkg add pkgcopiedpath

                    There is a procedure to install a GUI for e2guardian but I do not recommend it because it was made for a really older version of e2g.

                    There is another problem that has to be addressed.  The mitm error page is made for apache as main web server.
                    pfsense uses gnix as main web server, so you have to configure e2g to use another web server or find a way to use gnix.
                    I use other web server so I can not help you with the gnix option.

                    It wont be easy to use the gnix.  I think you will have to change the pfsense https web site to use other ssl port
                    as e2g will need the default ssl port to serve the error page.  Before there where vhosts package available but now you have to do it withou the vhosts package.

                        I looked into the script and see that it will install e2guardian from freebsd ports as is, with defaults.

                        If anyone wants to use mitm with e2g the defaults wont work.

                        I do not know if pfsense will let you run "make config" and then "make install" to activate the ssl support option.

                        I think it wont because "make" requires to have compilation packages in the system.

                          If it's compiling fine on freebsd, I'll do soon a ssl compile to update the GUI to accept it and also test the upcoming v4

                                Thank you marcelloc.  I think that most of the guys waiting for e2g are expecting it with ssl support.

                                When do you expect for the package to be accepted in the freebsd ports?

                                  I did a first lookup on confi file changes. It will need some work to include all new features. But I could get ssl support working.  ;D
                                  I'll update the install process soon

                                  On the todo list I'll include on help tab a way to see what package gui you are using and if there is an update.

                                  If anybody wants to help the migration process, just look the TODO texts on e2gardian.conf.template and e2guardianfx.conf.template files on mu github repo.

                                      Just received noticed there is a critical error with Google Chrome that was fixed on e2g 4.1

                                      Please provide some partial package using this version as soon as posible, as previous versions are unusable due to the Chrome error. 
                                      It says to be backward compatible.

                                            Hello guys,
                                            first of all, thanks for all the work done due to implement this features!! Expecially Marcello!

                                            @pfSense2User:

                                            I am trying to enable the clamav in the e2guardian program, but alas, I get an error that is shown on my monitor:

                                            
                                            Aug 17 20:56:44 e2guardian[86361]: Unable to load plugin config /usr/local/etc/e2guardian/contentscanners/clamdscan.conf
                                            
                                            

                                            I'm guessing this is still in a working progress?  However, I'm glad that the squid3 comes with the clamav, but I like the e2guardian (formally Dansguardian) access denied error when it finds a virus on a site, like eicar's test antivirus.

                                            I'll post back if I found a solution (temporarily speaking).

                                            I have the same issue, I've tried to comment it on the conf file, but it's been recreated on every modify.
                                            How can I fix this?

                                            Thanks for any help!
