      Looks nice.  I'll have to give it a try.  A couple of questions:

      2.  Is there documentation to get up and running?  It looks like you create separate entries under the various ACLs and then create a Group and assign the ACLs to it.  There's a lot of options on a lot of screens and they aren't all clear to me.

      The e2guardian configuration is really complex but extremely powerfull. Some options you get on general configuration but most is applied per group.

      A basic setup:

      • Apply the shalist under blacklist tab

      • Configure the default group under acl

      • save config

      At this point, E2guardian users are required only when you have more then one group. All unauthenticated users or unlisted users will match first filter group.

      So if you want to test a user based configuration, create a second group

      • Configure squid as your parent proxy under daemon tab

      • Select the Auth Plugin you want to interact with your squid configured user authentication

      • save and apply config

        Is there any difference in the AV of E2guardian vs Squid?  They both appear to be Clam but Squid seems to give more options for custom databases.

          IIRC e2guardian has per group scan options but I agree clamd on squid has more options.

          Maybe you need to test both bu for now, you can keep on squid.

          we need a lot of tests to archive the best config for e2guardian on pfSense.

          I'm planning an captive portal integration just the same way I did on squid.

            I'm going to try to get some testing done tomorrow to see what I can come up with.  Looking through the config options is a bit daunting, especially the Pics area since the value ranges keep changing.  And where do I add in phrases to block?  Can we create our own phrase lists?

              sure.

              This is a wiki of Dansguardian. Most options works the same way on e2guardian.

                I've changed the submenu display style. I think it's better to see and undertand where you are.

                What do you think?

                images style1 are current pkg framework

                images style2 has new style view.

                What do you think?

                  To me, the original style is better.  I can see that I'm in ACL's -> Phrase Lists by the underlining.  It just sticks out better.  In the second one I can see that I'm in ACLs but can't tell which sub-menu I'm in becasue it isn't showing any different.  The bread-crumbs up top show it but it just isn't as easy to follow.  I like your current style better.

                    I think style 2 is cleaner but would be even nicer if it did highlight the sub menu item too  ;)

                      I'll put the highlight as an option. For now I've changed de text on each xml to identify what tab you are.

                        I'm starting to test e2guardian but it won't start.

                        
                        /root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/e2guardian.sh start

                        Can those files be regenerated?  I've pointed to shallalist but that's about it.  The Default values in bold, those are the values used if the boxes are left blank?  They don't need to be filled in do they?

                        EDIT:
                        I copied the e2guardian.conf.sample and overwrote /usr/local/etc/e2guardian/e2guardian.conf and I'm getting further.  Now it tells me:

                            What page has that option?  I don't think I intentionally selected anything, just clicked through.

                              I have it working on my setup, including ssl interception. Try to selext just one interface. I'll try another clean setup and see how how to reproduce this.

                                I have LAN and loopback selected since the default is Lan/loopback.  It's working with the sample config in place.

                                I ran a diff on the config file and the sample file and there is quite a bit of difference since the rows don't line up.  I cleared up the commented lines and here is what the config options are in the broken file:

                                  Looks like it was because I had both LAN and loopback selected.  You may want to remove the verbage of "Default: LAN/loopback".  For the other fields it states what is used when nothing is entered.  In this field you still need to select the Interface.

                                    I concur. You have to select only one interface (LAN) to get it to work. When loopback is also selected, it wont start. I haven't had a chance to test the different options other then installing and enabling it using default options.

                                    Need to figure out an easy/clean way to convert my old Dansguardian config to E2guardian (within the config.xml)

                                      Easy as renaming it on xml(except for some config change from dansguardian to e2guardian) but I can help with a php script if you want.

                                        FYI:

                                        When I go to ACLs -> Antivirus, the lower menu bar disappears.

                                          It's a missing div on pkg_edit.php I've updated on install script.

                                            How do we download the blacklists for them to work?  On the Blacklist Tab I'm using http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz as the Blacklist URL but when I go into the Default Site List and remove the "#" from in front of items on the list, e2guardian won't start.

                                            I'm changing:
                                            #.Include
                                            to
                                            .Include

                                            and the error when starting is:

                                            /root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/e2guardian.sh start

                                            I'm guessing it's because the blacklist isn't really downloaded and applied.  I've tried changing the Update Frequency on the Blacklist Tab to Download and Update Now and I get an alert that says "E2guardian - Blacklist update process started" but I don't know how to see if it is doing anything.  After 20 minutes it still doesn't start if I uncomment the lines.
