      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

                          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.

                                    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.

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

                                        Version 5 can really be scaled both horizontally and vertically.

                                        I have a box with 15k working process running really nice.

                                        Amazing work e2guardian team did on it.

                                          You're right. I just jumped in today, taking extra precautions. I cloned my pfSense VM twice and then jumped in. So far the transparent proxy is working brilliantly and exactly how I wanted it. I've got my pfSense box entirely virtualised in ESXi and it's running brilliantly so far at home. Hopefully it continues to run stable, I've got it running under Squid for some light caching. In addition to this, when changing the settings around in the GUI, E2Guardian no longer lags or locks up like 4.1, it applies the config nearly instantly and is back up and running.

                                          @Marcelloc could we add some filters to the logs? It would be really useful to go through denied websites based on groups, logs, times and categories. And would help tune E2Guardian better.

                                            Install
                                            You can enable Unoffical repo creating or downloading the file below using diagnostics -> command  prompt -> Execute Shell Command prompt menu:

                                            2.3 AMD64

                                            
                                            fetch -q -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/Unofficial.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/master/Unofficial.conf
                                            
                                            

                                            2.3 I386

                                            
                                            fetch -q -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/Unofficial.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/master/Unofficiali386.conf
                                            
                                            

                                            2.4

                                            
                                            fetch -q -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/Unofficial.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/master/Unofficial.24.conf
                                            
                                            

                                            After fetching the repo file, you can see these packages under System -> Package Manager

                                            Without enabling Unofficial repo, you can add it using console/ssh with

                                            
                                            cd /root
                                            fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/master/pkg-e2guardian/files/install_e2guardian_23.sh
                                            sh ./install_e2guardian_23.sh
                                            
                                            

                                            E2guardian requires a cache/upstream server , so if you do not want to use squid together with e2guardian, point e2guardian proxy configuration to 127.0.0.1 port 8888 to use tinyproxy cache server instead.

                                            http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz is one of compatible blacklists for e2guardian. Configure it under blacklist tab.

                                            Once it finishes, all must be in place. If you do not see the menu after it finishes, try to install any pfSense package from GUI, like cron for example.

                                            WARNING

                                            Use it at your own risk.

                                            This script install packages from freebsd and change your config file.
