      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

                                I think I made a mistake
                                some sites do not open
                                Can you share configuration screenshots

                                thanks.

                                      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.

                                          Congratulations on your work
                                          it works fine but it will be my responsibility
                                          Do not have user (ip) site login authorization section? ips only has one group. why?
                                          for example:
                                          192.168.1.10 facebook block
                                          192.168.1.11 facebook pass - youtube block
                                          SquidGuard is very flexible and accomplished in this way
                                          but with SSL proxy problem

                                            Just create another group and change acl combination.

                                            SquidGuard is very flexible and accomplished in this way

                                            Definitely not. You will need more time to understand it's config style but e2guardian config is full featured.
