      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.

                @susamlicubuk:

                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.

                it is very easy to reproduce this error
                you can open your ticket e2guardian forum?
                thanks.

                          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.

                                    I still getting some random E2 Guardian crashes here and there, its severely reducing performance. Sometimes. Anyone else having this issue?

                                    I'm also using pfBlockerNG with this, not sure if it matters.

                                    @Marcelloc why did you remove the E2 Guardian start log? It was pretty useful in situations like this.

                                      I didn't. It was removed by robotman3000.

                                        Ah yes, you're right. He removed the entire watch dog code because it caused problems like switching on E2G when it was set to disabled.

                                        However, have you got any ideas why my E2 Guardian could be randomly crashing? It seemed to start when I started experimenting with Traffic Shaper, but I really can't be sure without anything useful in logs. Have you checked to see if it has crashed in your production environment at all?

                                        Other than the hiccup here and there, I've been loving v5. Transparent proxy is awesome, and seems to work well!

                                        EDIT: Found this in the logs now: status_services.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/e2guardian.sh stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'kern.ipc.somaxconn: 16384 -> 16384 kern.maxfiles: 131072 -> 131072 kern.maxfilesperproc: 104856 -> 104856 kern.threads.max_threads_per_proc: 20480 -> 20480 e2guardian not running?

                                          Apr 11 13:44:19 kernel pid 95365 (e2guardian), uid 106: exited on signal 11

                                          Really unsure how to go about debugging this mess.. But eventually the watchdog wins the battle agains the E2Guardian crashing.
