Unofficial E2guardian package for pfSense

@kenrutt Are you using MITM? What authentication method do you use?

And are you using Squid?

kenrutt · Jun 28, 2018, 1:59 AM

@pfsensation
Yes I am using MITM. For Auth I have it set to ip address. And I am using the direct connect method.

@kenrutt That's weird. Does it happen to all browsers? Have you checked that your system isn't explicitly configured for the proxy too?

I guess theoretically in some cases it could make a loop.

how to uninstall e2guardian that will remove all its previous configurations and setups ?

I uninstalled and reinstall the package but still the same configuration that I made was still there. I wanted to uninstall the package and clean install the package coz I want to check something.

I hope the author will reply soon.

There is no option on the package to clean/reset all config yet.

If you are an advanced user, you can clean it direct on config.xml but If you do something wrong on pfSense main config file, you can mess up your firewall.

@pfsensation
Yes I have checked the proxy settings on my system and there is no proxy settings assigned. I don't know but there must be some configuration problem somewhere, I don't know what. The weird thing is if I setup NAT and redirect port 80 & 443 things work in transparent mode without a hitch. (That is with the transparent mode unchecked in e2gaurdian.)

pfsensation · Jun 29, 2018, 7:20 AM

It's possible you have a conflict somewhere, are the any other services on the firewall using those ports?

What other NAT rules do you have in place? Sounds like when you manually add the rules, it goes on top of everything you have and takes effect as it has a higher priority.

@pfsensation
You got me on the right track. I need to test things further but for now e2guardian is running in transparent mode. I am using PFBlocker and it seems the outgoing rules were interfering. Also it seems I need to select both LAN and Loopback on the first listen interface box.

Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

pfsensation · Jun 30, 2018, 8:27 AM

@kenrutt No problem! Glad I could help, I'm using pfblocker too :)

I came across issues before with this setup as E2 Guardian and pfblocker both redirect port 80/443. Managed to solve the issues adding a bypass for the pfblocker DNSBL IP. This means that transparent proxy won't touch traffic going to that IP, and it should work as normal.

And yes, makes sure the loopback interface has the proxy enabled as the transparent rule needs it.

Hi!
I´m trying configure "Download rate limit", but, unsucessull. I configured the limiter, applyed the mask and nothing. I checked de option Allow Users on Interface, but there is an alert below "This options must be selected to use bandwidth limit options under Groups tab", but I not find nothing about limits in Groups tab. Can someone help me?!

marcelloc · Jul 2, 2018, 8:32 PM

@eneiasmg , the per group limit is not implemented yet. I'll remove this info from this field on next update.

Are you trying the limiters with direct proxy or transparent?

eneiasmg · Jul 2, 2018, 8:48 PM

Hi, @marcelloc
I'm using direct proxy.

ravegen · Jul 3, 2018, 3:55 AM

my e2guardian -version shows '--enable-sslmitm' and not '--enable-sslmitm=yes'.

does it mean I cannot do ssl mitm ?

kenrutt · Jul 6, 2018, 1:40 AM

Does anyone know the situation with the "Content List" option under the "ACLs" tab? I can't seem to get any response from this option. Is this option not supported in v5? It had been working in v4.

@kenrutt

Is latest version of e2guardian 0.5.0.4 works on you like the http and https filtering ?

kenrutt · Jul 6, 2018, 2:19 AM

@ravegen Not quite sure what you are asking.
I have latest version of e2guardian installed and http and https filtering is working great. And I am using transparent mode with MITM enabled.

ravegen · Jul 6, 2018, 2:58 AM

@kenrutt

really? http and https filtering is working on your setup ?

I too have installed the same setup. I checked the transparent mode and ssl mitm.
Previouly I used version 0.5.0.3_1 and it works on that version but on the latest version it does not work anymore.

How did you install your e2guardian package? is it thru pfsense package manager on webgui ? Is you also installed squid package or not anymore ?

My pfsense version is

2.4.3-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Mon Mar 26 18:02:04 CDT 2018
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p7
Version 2.4.3_1 is available.
Version information updated at Fri Jul 6 10:49:08 PHT 2018

pfsensation · Jul 6, 2018, 6:28 AM

@ravegen I've got it setup and working really well too!

You just need to tweak the settings to tweak your needs, other than that v5 is looking very solid and comes with a lot of fixes.

PS: installed from the unofficial repo via Package manager.

ravegen · Jul 6, 2018, 7:38 AM

@pfsensation

ok, I will try once more from clean install

kenrutt · Jul 6, 2018, 11:11 PM

@ravegen
I am using version 0.5.0.4
I am not using Squid package. I installed using the pfsense Package Manager.
I have transparent proxy enabled and I also enabled SSL support. So yes https filtering is working for me. Everything that I need to use works without a hitch. I had some trouble at first with nat redirection which had to to with pfblocker. But that has been resolved and all working great. I have not tried every possible feature available but everything that I have tried works good except I couldn't get the content list to work.
