      I've been getting a few crashes recently here and there. Not sure if it is just my configuration, E2 Guardian just randomly seems to stop.

      I've got 1000 HTTP workers, and resource usage seems to be fine. The below is what I see in system logs:

      Apr 4 08:17:44 php-fpm 76879 /rc.start_packages: [E2guardian] - Detected boot process pr:1 bp:1 rpc:no
      Apr 4 08:17:44 php-fpm 76879 /rc.start_packages: [E2guardian] - Aborting config file generation

        Why do you need an upstream proxy?

        Under General Misc settings you have misc options

        "If you have the "usexforwardedfor" option enabled, you may want to specify the IPs from which this kind of header is allowed, such as another upstream proxy server for instance If you want authorize multiple IPs, specify each one on an individual xforwardedforfilterip line."

          Is this a question?

            Hello Marcello
            i just installed e2guardian5
            direct connect and certificate selected
            Sometimes I click the link and the page is empty
            Pressing f5 or clicking again will open the page
            for example
            http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/
            http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/gundem/
            set up a manual squid
            and e2Guardian settings
            parent mode - use automatic embeded parent config
            I do not have this problem if I choose
            why am I having this problem?

              I saw this on firefox on my labs. If it's easy to reproduce, we csn open a ticket on e2guardian project to see what developers suggest.

                I think it maybe best to wait for them to fix the issue before diving in

                It's fixed now.

                It's down again, darnit! It looks like better blacklist to use, when compared to ShallaList as it's a paid provider and has more categories. However, would those extra categories automatically appear on the GUI if we were to replace the ShallaList blacklist link with the Squid one?

                  If it has the same folder structure, yes.

                    Well, it was specifically designed for E2/DG therefore it should work just fine?

                    However, I wanted to ask if you had any problems with E2G randomly stopping sometimes? I've had it happen once or twice, a simple start fixed it. It's a bit odd.

                      Not yet. I have three productions environments working fine. But I also keep running watchguard.

                        Just applied a config, then saw that E2G wasn't started. I've got softrestart enabled.

                        Here's what I saw in the configs: kernel pid 17852 (e2guardian), uid 106: exited on signal 11

                        Strange…

                          Okay… I've managed to re-produce and figure out what's been stopping E2G.

                          When I go to for example: https://hidemyass.com/

                          It's stopping E2Guardian, whether I have MITM enabled or not. I've tried a reinstall of E2G and it hasn't helped. I'll enabled the watchdog now and see how it goes.

                          EDIT: After messing around with it, restarting pfSense, turning off MITM and enabling it again. It seems to have stopped... That was quite a roller coaster ride, not sure what happened. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. E2G started shutting down on all HTTPS denied pages.

                                      Latest version is not being detected by pfSense for me. I haven't checked yet, but have you bumped the version?

                                        I've updated the binaries but no changes on gui pkg.

                                        An uninstall/install should update e2guardian to 5.0.2_1

                                          Awesome, I've just gone ahead and updated it. How many HTTP workers do you use Marcello? I was initially using 1000 for home, but it seems it's not enough anymore lol. Sometimes all workers become busy and the internet becomes slow, so I've bumped the HTTP workers up to 2500.
