          I'm on 5.2, everything running all good for me. Very stable now too! V5 in general has been really good.

            hi how can i update to 5.2 ? i installed 5.1 but it doesn't show up on my installed packages hahaha weird

            also i can't seem to block any website. i followed a youtube video that was provided here. and also viewed a blog by @ucribrahim

            im using mitm, transparent proxy. should i also configure squid or leave it as is? i use my squid with squidguard last time so i already got it configured, also lightsquid.

            edit: ok wait i did manage to block facebook, but i can still access youtube.com any tips ?

            edit: ok nvm i get it now . i manage to properly display a blocked https website like fb and yt.

            thanks to e2guardian and you guys for the help!

              One thing I'd like to do in a new version is improve the acknowledge button. It's meant to be a bypass for admins which means it doesn't need to be shown for non admin groups.

              I also recommend using a better Blacklist, I used to support Shallalist however they don't remove dead or parked domains. Which means it's become less efficient.

              Here's one I've come to prefer (out of the free ones): ftp://ftp.ut-capitole.fr/pub/reseau/cache/squidguard_contrib/blacklists.tar.gz

                  I think Marcello was talking to you earlier on his last post. He said to try the latest version, which I think you're already on?

                  Have you tried a reinstall?

                      Is anybody using the content lists under ACLs in e2guardian?
                      I have been experimenting with it and when I put in a more complex regex, e2guardian crashes when I go to certain web sites such as google.

                        Hello forum
                        I also have problem with 2.4.4 broken content filter. I tried almost everything ( uninstall, new install...) and nothing works.
                        Content filter doesn't work, can someone give me any advice.
                        Regard

                          Regex requires a lot of cpu power, if you do it incorrectly its possible you're running out of resources.

                            What do you mean? Content filter was never broken. You most likely haven't set it up correctly. Go to ACLs and block any categories you don't want users accessing.

                              Thank you pfsensation for fast response.My mistake, content filtering is working ( sitelist, urllist ) problem is weighted list filter which doesn't work. I have few systems active hardware and virtual on 2.4.3 and they work OK. Try search in yahoo "f***ing" and 2.4.3 weighted filter block search, 2.4.4 with same settings doesn't.

                                For encrypted sites like Yahoo, you need to make sure you have MITM enabled to phrase filter. You will need to generate a CA certificate and set it up within E2 Guardian and also deploy it to your clients.

                                    Works perfectly fine for me and all the others. First time I'm hearing about this. The only issue we had on 2.4.4 was log rotation although that's already been fixed with an update. What authentication method are you using? I am 100% sure you have some configuration error, as the code itself is fine and I've used it on a few 2.4.4 system and also have it running at home without issues.

                                      Thank you pfsensation, this information is very helpful. I will go over my config again and let you know. I use IP authentication.

                                        No problem, check the configuration again. See if E2 Guardian can see the traffic on the real time log and let us know if it works. :)
