Yes. Its the current v5 develop code.

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?

I'm just using IP Authentication, I tried DNS before but that would give me a seg fault instantly. So I'm sticking to IP for the moment.

No suggestions Marcello? I've got the watch dog running so it does restart E2 Guardian but sometimes it's just a mess. And will crash 5-8x in a row reducing performance and causing disruption.

May be related to https://github.com/e2guardian/e2guardian/issues/375.
I'll compile a version with debug and include some instructions on how to use, so you can see if it's something already related or not.

I just re-did my config as this was bothering me and other users a lot. It seems to be better, but I'll continue to monitor it. It's possible it could've been a config issue and without a meaningful error message it's hard to tell where the problem lies.

I've pushed a 5.0.2_3 binaries with some fixes from e2guardian team. check if you're on this latest binaries with pkg info under console.
-
pkg v 5.0.3 is out. Main changes on this version:
-
Apply firewall limiters to direct connect clients (wpad or proxy manual config).
-
New button to clear cert MITM cache data.(useful when you change MITM CA)

Unfortunately re-doing the configs didn't fix the crashing issue. I've just upgraded to the latest 5.0.3 version, and checked with pkg info. I'll see if this fixes it, thanks!
Also, could we apply the limiter to specific groups?

For transparent proxy, the rules are manual, so l guess yes.

@Marcelloc Just an update on the situation. The latest update fixed some of the crashes I had, everything's been running better today. 2500 workers, and I was able to use over 1000 without any huge problems. Its also been faster! Let's hope it stays that way, and improves until we can eradicate all crashes. There was time when my entire pfsense would crash, so I'm grateful for the improvements made.
I have a few suspicions that the crashes may perhaps be related to using pfBlockerNG along with transparent mode. I am trying to explore all the avenues to try locate the fault but it isn't easy without proper debugging. I have disabled pfBlockerNG for the meantime to try and isolate the problem, let's see if there's any improvement.
That being said, I think it's best to keep some debug code that can be enabled easily when required as we can come across quite a bit of unforseen issues with FreeBSD as the developers of E2G use Linux.
-
So disabling pfBlockerNG did nothing, I really thought that would've been it since the transparent proxy is sending all the pfBlocker domains through the proxy and crashing it or something.
I've checked and redone pretty much all the ACLs, removed all test and unnecessary ACLs and I'm having issues. I've even tried multiple restarts and reinstalls…
I'm pretty surprised and shocked no one else is having this.

I am also having issues with Transparent proxy mode. I messed with this for quite awhile and it would at times work with only https connections which seems weird. Then reinstalling and or rebooting some times would change things and it would work correctly for a little bit and then it would quit. Sometimes it would not catch any connections at all and connections would bypass E2 completly. But mostly it would not complete http connections while catching https. I know it would try because nothing would happen for awhile till browser would show error.
Also if I configure proxy settings on my computer things work correctly. It seems there are issues with transparent mode.

I've never had issues with it oniy loading HTTPS sites, however I have come across instances where HTTPS traffic just bypasses E2 Guardian. Usually giving E2 Guardian a restart fixes it for the most part. I'm not sure if this is somehow conflicting with pfBlockerNG. I've tried various things but the fact that both E2G and pfBlockerNG both forward traffic to themselves could somewhat cause an issue.
@Marcelloc do you use pfBlockerNG and have you come across any issues?
-
On my labs I do not use pfblockerNG but on a network with 850 workstations yes.
pfblockerNG basically create firewall rules, so the only way I see that can conflict with e2guardian is preventing it to connect to a remote site.
