      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

          Segmentation fault
          
          

          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.

                        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 :

                        for a in 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55

                         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

                         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.

                          @marcelloc:

                          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.
