Unofficial E2guardian package for pfSense

marcelloc

I've updated the binaries and GUI to include dnsauth and icap antivirus integration. The idea is to call clamv exactly the same way squid does to avoid package conflict.

marcelloc

Latest TODO as far as I can see

add gui group ssl options introduced since E2guardian 3.1
fix search acl tab and configuration
increase tiny proxy config values to March E2guardian start process configuration
Configure clamav icap

danjeman

A method of configuring it to listen on a CARP address via the GUI would be great too - Squid you can do this from the 'Advanced Features - Custom Options'… or is this not possible with e2g, looks like multi interface listen causes problems at the moment?

marcelloc

@danjeman:

It looks like multi interface listen causes problems at the moment?

Not anymore. I've hard coded a config option util multi auth psr port is better implemented on gui.

How do we update? Rerun the script? That's what I've done and I've got some changes.

Yes, rerun. Few days ago I've updated the e2guardian binaries to include icap and dnsauth.

Stewart

I reran the script and suddenly e2Guardian wouldn't load. The error was:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/e2guardian.sh: WARNING: failed to start e2guardian
Error parsing the e2guardian.conf file or other e2guardian configuration files
Error loading auth plugins
auth_plugin_load() returned NULL pointer with config file: /usr/local/etc/e2guardian/authplugins/proxy-header.conf 
Unable read plugin config plugname variable /usr/local/etc/e2guardian/authplugins/proxy-header.conf

I was able to get it to start by uncommenting the last 3 lines in /usr/local/etc/e2guardian/authplugins/proxy-header.conf:


low case
header = ''

plugname = 'proxy-header'

Not sure what uncommenting them does but it allows it to load.

Stewart

Well, it loads but it doesn't do anything. Whether I try to create a NAT rule or just set the browser to 8080, no pages load. They all just time out. I'm watching /var/log/system.log but it isn't showing anything.

marcelloc

I'll what's different from my working e2guardian. Did you selected any authentication method?

Stewart

I've tried Proxy-Basic and none. Now, some pages load. Others are blocked but show a category of NA. I also can't get to the pfSense GUI from the local network. Is there a way to reset to defaults in case I've done something?

Edit: i am getting a bunch of:

Unselect any autentication, save and apply(and maybe restart the service). The small documentation on proxy-header says that you must select a http header field to identify as users, and then add them on groups


# Proxy-header auth plugin
# FredB August 2016
# Identifies users with header;
# relies upon the upstream proxy.
# Eg: in groups file
# Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0=filter3
# here:
# header = 'user-agent'

Have updated looks ok so far except on the menus if you go to IPs then ACLs changes to Access Lists - will clear cache etc. and check again…

Don't believe sync has ever worked with the default 'Sync to configured system backup server' either - this is the log entry..

Apr 11 11:57:52 php-fpm 69222 /pkg_edit.php: [E2guardian] xmlrpc sync is enabled but there is no system backup hosts to push squid config.
Apr 11 11:57:52 php-fpm 69222 /pkg_edit.php: Reloading E2guardian

Every other package syncs fine with this setting.

Is there a difference between "None" and not having any selected?

With no authentication set I now get an Access Denied page from Squid.

When I access a page the Squid logs show:

1491926079.428      3 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/403 4185 GET http://forum.pfsense.com/ - HIER_NONE/- text/html

/var/log/e2guardian/access.log shows:

No matter what page I go to, I get those same 5 lines. The first 2 vary depending on where I go but the last 3 are exactly the same. If I point directly to the Squid proxy port then pages load. If I pass through transparently then it works. If I point to the port 8080 for e2guardian it fails. I've gone back and undone the changes I made to proxy-header.conf and everything loads properly now. I've deselected all auth plugins on the General page.

EDIT: Well, not every time. I also get

Wanted to say, thanks for bringing this project back alive. Been waiting an extremely long time for E2 Guardian, as it seems to tick all my boxes in being able to scan HTTPS traffic properly, without having to rely on a black list or DNS based blocking. Most people don't seem to understand the importance of HTTPS scanning, even knowing that there's always new proxies, and websites coming along to bypass blocks.

How is the status of the package now? I see Stewart is saying that it isn't working, is it working for everyone else?

marcelloc

I've tested normal proxy and SSL interception. Did not started testing authentication and antivirus integration

I've wiped the box I was having problems with and will go back to testing once my other projects simmer down since I couldn't ever get it to work properly. I'll report back here once I get back on it.

pfsensation

So I got this setup at basic level, and have got a phrase list up. However, how do I get it to scan HTTPS sites? I have a phrase list up for pornography, and it seems to be working for http sites but not HTTPS. And now it seems more and more websites are moving to HTTPS.

I am purely trying to test the phrase matching system, and make sure that this system is able to block those sites.

Create the CA on pfSense
apply it on e2guardian config
Install ca certificate on browser

I thought it could be done transparently in e2Guardian. Is that not so?
