      @pfsensation:

      Found another issue with 4.1…

      I use the unofficial WPAD package, using the E2 Guardian proxy I'm unable to obtain the proxy.pac file via the pfsense machines IP address. However using the host name seems to work fine. When trying to download that pac file via IP when on the E2 Guardian proxy. I get "e2guardian 504 gateway time out. Unable to connect to upstream proxy".

      I don't it's an issue with squid as I haven't changed its configuration and I don't remember having this problem on 3.5.1.

      Why are you retrieving the wpad file through the proxy?  The wpad or proxy.pac are downloaded through the http port 80.  I think your "Internet Options" if in Windows should tell to connect to the pfsense bypassing the proxy.  I do not recall how is done in Linux or MAC. Your wpad file should also have a rule to go DIRECT when connecting to local network IPs.

      I was troubleshooting some issues with IOS devices on my network then manually tried typing it in to test. In dhcp I am advertising it using the IP, but it gave that error through it proxy. I changed the dhcp to use the host name to connect and download the pac file, but this still seems like a bug nevertheless.

        E2g and squid has a setting to block urls with IPs.  Verify that is turn off. If on the pfsense IP should be explicitly allowed, I think.

          but now we know those particular place holders are causing the crashes. This is just a heads up if you have trouble re-creating the crashes Marcello. Also try to use my exact same block page source code, with everything intact, including -bypass-.

          Even without report, just "access denied" the daemon crashes. I've started a watchdog script to keep e2guardian running but I'll need to run a debug version to try to identify where it's still getting segmentation fault errors.  :(

          also getting high values on e2guardian processes but low cpu load

              I've opened a new issue on e2g git

              At least here with e2g compiled with debug, it crashes when empty header happens

              If you want to try the same debug version to see if it crashes on the same place, follow this:

              
              fetch https://github.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/raw/master/repo/e2guardian-4.1.1_debug.txz
              fetch https://github.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/raw/master/repo/e2guardian-4.1.1_1.txz
              
              

              To force debug install, run

              pkg add -f e2guardian-4.1.1_debug.txz
              killall e2guardian && /usr/local/sbin/e2guardian -N
              
              

              This must be done using console to see debug output

              To back to non debug binaries:

              pkg add -f e2guardian-4.1.1_1.txz
              killall  e2guardian && /usr/local/sbin/e2guardian

                I realised the sudden memory spikes too. I had 350MB, didn't worry too much as I assumed it was for cache + I have 2GB total.

                I had another crash today after 2 days, it's better than the nearly instant crash every 30 minites - 2 hours I was getting before.

                  Any updates on this? Is there anyway I can downgrade for now?

                  4.1 is giving me a lot of hassle with crashing. Maybe you could make a script to automatically restart it if it crashes Marcello?

                    I have a watchdog script. I'll share here when I get home.

                      Let say the e2g has the watchdog script working.

                      From the perspective of the clients, is e2g as of now, doing all the features OK and they will not notice the crashes?

                      I want to know because if the features are not working OK then I will have to wait for the fixes to be able to use it in production.  Also if the crashes can be noticed by the clients then I have to wait for the fixes to be able to use it in production.  Maybe the crashes can be tolerated if they are noticed but in sporadic instances.

                        I guess the current crashes are related to a old exit status 11 that happens for a Long Time since dansguandian but with current thread version, the main process dies too. The issue is related with empty headers and connection that doesn't answer.

                          Run it every minute via cron. /var/log/e2guardian/start.log will log the crashes.

                            Run it every minute via cron. /var/log/e2guardian/start.log will log the crashes.

                            Just tried setting this up now. When I copy and paste your code into Cron, it becomes all jumbled. Here's an example of what happened :

                            #!/bin/sh
                            for a in 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55
                            do
                            if [ -f /var/run/e2guardian.pid ];then
                             cat /var/run/e2guardian.pid | xargs ps
                             if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
                               /usr/local/etc/rc.d/e2guardian.sh start
                               tail -50 /var/log/e2guardian/access.log >> /var/log/e2guardian/last.log
                               echo "`date` start" >> /var/log/e2guardian/start.log
                             fi
                            fi
                            sleep 5
                            

                            Went from the above code, to the below code

                            #!/bin/shfor a in 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55doif [ -f /var/run/e2guardian.pid ];then cat /var/run/e2guardian.pid | xargs ps if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then   /usr/local/etc/rc.d/e2guardian.sh start   tail -50 /var/log/e2guardian/access.log >> /var/log/e2guardian/last.log   echo "`date` start" >> /var/log/e2guardian/start.log fifisleep 5
                            

                            Will this cause any problems?

                            And also, since this cron job is running every minute. What if the case is that E2Guardian crashes just after the cron job is run, then you have to wait an entire minute before E2Guardian is put back up. It could be incredibly annoying in a production environment.

                              I have a watchdog script. I'll share here when I get home.

                              Let say the e2g has the watchdog script working.

                              From the perspective of the clients, is e2g as of now, doing all the features OK and they will not notice the crashes?

                              I want to know because if the features are not working OK then I will have to wait for the fixes to be able to use it in production.  Also if the crashes can be noticed by the clients then I have to wait for the fixes to be able to use it in production.  Maybe the crashes can be tolerated if they are noticed but in sporadic instances.

                              Pretty sure at some point it will be noticed, and it will become annoying. If the cause is actually an empty header, and someone is accessing a site which is causing the empty headers, you may end up with more crashes at once. And then you have to wait a minute for it to come back etc etc… I use this at home, and I can say that 4.1 is extremely fast, and nice to use in general. But the crashes for now are making it more hassle than it's worth. I'm stuck in between for now, 3.5.1 gave me redirect issues, and sometimes some slowness (not a huge deal) but redirect issue was annoying. But 4.1 is very very quick, fixes the redirect issues and sudden lag but is prone to crashes. And I guess it has some sort of memory leak? I hope the watchdog script at least takes some frustration out. D:

                              @Marcelloc, I have a NAT rule to redirect port 80 to my pfsense box IP and port 8080. Should I do the same for 443? Or will that completely break it? I don't mind being having to install the certificate, but is there a way to just force all the traffic through E2Guardian. In some cases, such as Android, it seems other methods such as WPAD etc, don't work.

                                You have to add spaces where they stick together.

                                Example
                                55doif -> 55 do if

                                It seems you lost carriege returns. But whats important is spaces between commands and parameters.

                                  Thanks for that. I will go edit the cron now

                                    Create a file on filesystem with the script and then call the file on cron.

                                      That rule will brake wpad retrival. Did you add that before testing Androids?

                                        Hmm how can I get that setup with WPAD still working? Somehow WPAD seems to be working. My pc is set to automatically detect proxy settings and it does, however it didn't work on IOS maybe this is it.

                                        I tested with this rule on android, works for http traffic. It'll successfully go to the block page if the website isn't allowed.

                                          Create the rule and try to fetch the wpad file. If it fetches, the is no conflict.

                                            Able to fetch it no problems, as long as I type http, since web config is on https.
