      @pfsensation:

      Thanks to some brilliant help from the Pfsense community, I think my crashes are finally resolved with some bootloader.conf.local addons.

      Think you could share please?

      Are you having crashes too? If so do let us know more in terms of your specs.

      Here's the lines I'm using currently.

      kern.cam.boot_delay=10000
      kern.ipc.nmbclusters=1000000
      legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
      legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
      hw.re.enable_msix=0
      hw.em.enable_msix=0
      hw.pci.enable_msix=0
      net.inet.tcp.tso=0
      hw.em.fc_setting=0
      hw.re.fc_setting=0

      Do keep us informed so we can get these issues ironed out!

        Those lines made the system more stable, but the system still seems to crash after about 7 days or so. I have fully confirmed that it's related to E2Guardian. As without E2 Guardian on a system with the same setup with all my other plugins, it's all good. The crash dump also shows E2 Guardian threads going a bit haywire. @Marcelloc please have a look into this, especially as new updates have been released by the E2 Guardian team.

          On a fresh install:
          When I navigate to ACLs>Site Lists and click edit on the default list the Save button is partially blocked by the lower banner.
          Thank you for your work on this package.

            My E2guardian won't start after a reboot, and the only way to get it working again is to reinstall the package. Anyone else getting the same problem?

              I have the same issue from time to time, after pfsense upgrades a reinstall is pretty much a must. I still seem to get crashes… I wish this would get updated.

                Hi guys!

                Version 0.4.2 is ready for download.

                whats new:

                • Included sample logic rotine to html report page, so you can back to original file at any time if you want

                • Improved e2gerror logic and added a denied only log feature to the package

                • Added e2guradian real time tab, processing e2guardian default logs, e2g squid format logs and logs form e2gerror.php page

                My real time logs don't show up like this. All the ip's are the same '127.0.0.1' on mine and it doesn't show me the 'detailed denied logs'

                  I've managed get the ip's showing by using these settings :

                  
                  forwardedfor = on
                  usexforwardedfor = on
                  
                  

                  But how how get it to show the 'Default Denied Log' ?

                    I've started migrating e2guardian package to version 5

                    according to developer, E2guardian 5 has

                    • Direct access mode

                    • ICAP mode to work as a 'helper' for squid

                    • transparent ssl

                    It requires a lot of tests and config file changes, so it may take some time.

                      I've started migrating e2guardian package to version 5

                      As v4.1 crashes without squid parent with ssl interception enabled, i decided to remove it from Unofficial 2.4 repo package list

                      What is working on 0.5.0.5 version

                      • Direct access mode

                      I'm using with direct mode access and ssl interception. Until now, no crashes. I'll start including ssl transparent rules code and fix xmlrpc sync.

                        package Version 0.5.0_9

                        • Fixed xmlrpc code to sync between master and slave boxes

                        • transparent proxy rules

                        Missing/ Need testing

                        • ICAP mode to work as a squid helper

                        I Did a lot of tests with E2guardian as the only proxy installed on pfSense and until now no crashes

                        A lot of lists and config has changed since v4.1, so testing and feedbacks are always welcome.

                              Hi Marcello,

                              you are great! I love V5.

                              Found a little mistake:

                              I change logfile format to "squid style". Because I want to you lightsquid to parse logfiles.

                              In the squid format there is a bug: internal ip of requestor is missing. :-(

                              Seems this was a bug on V4 who was already fixed, but is in V5 here again.

                              Another question:

                              Can someone give me a hint how to send e2guardian access.log to remote server?

                              I have graylog up and running. The Pfsense Logfiles could be sending to graylog sever, but I have no idea how to send e2guardians log.

                              Best Regards,
                              Kai

                                Addition: Just read about fixed issue in your former post - I´ll give it a try

                                          check if you box has the e2guardian logs on /var/log/e2guardian.

                                          You can also try to change log type under Report and Logs tab.
