Unofficial E2guardian package for pfSense
-
If you are using transparent proxy and you want any addresses to completely bypass e2guardian, there are places under the Daemon tab in the transparent section to enter bypass ip's.

I just spun up a new pfSense machine using E2guardian. I was using squid/squidguard in the old firewall. There are quite a few nuances that I don't understand. It was pretty simple to block or allow sites as needed. I think I've figured out how to add new sites to block but am not having success getting them to bypass the filter. I have a camera system that keeps getting blocked with NETERROR as the reason. I've tried adding the source IP to the exceptions in the IP config and the site to ACL/site lists but no change. How does one enter a site to be bypassed?
*edit: It looks like it tries to connect then I see a log entry like this:
192.168.1.x https://127.0.0.1 403 Default NETERROR -As @kenrutt mentioned, add the camera IP to the source bypass box under the daemon tab. Then it'll bypass e2guardian completely. Not quite sure why you're getting a NETERROR though.

I tried the source bypass and that didn't seem to work. Turning the E2guardian off for a while allowed it to do whatever and worked for that particular problem. There are other sites that are behaving the same (gocomics.com).
I used the instructions at this link to set up E2guardian:
https://lifeoverlinux.com/how-to-block-http-and-https-websites-with-e2guardian/It does not mention using WPAD for setup. I noticed that the instructions on the E2guardian github has a section on using it for ssl filtering. I had WPAd setup for squid/squidguard. Is that the part I'm missing here?
Anyone have a better set of instructions for configuring E2guardian on pfSense that's up to date?

Source bypass will only work if you're using the transparent filtering option. I've personally stopped using WPAD, transparent filtering can force the traffic through E2 Guardian quite seamlessly.

So, does grey and exception listing work in transparent mode?

Yes, no problem at all. I'm running pretty much everything through transparent proxy. This also allows me to completely bypass the proxy for certain things like Windows updates, or WhatsApp to save resources and keep things efficient.

Which list are you using. Shallalalist seems to be missing some things. It is unclear if it, or the french one, is still maintained.
Squidblacklist is interesting. Can anyone attest to its efficacy? Or, in other words, is it worth the price of the subscription?

I'm running pfsense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2, after running the command on page 1, I am still not able to see E2guardian package as an option for install, even after a reboot, what am i missing?

You're missing the patch that enables packages from unofficial sources to be shown.

I'm currently using https://dsi.ut-capitole.fr/blacklists/ it's French. However works well for English domains too and I've found it to be much better than Shallalist.

How do I do that? I ran "fetch -q -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/Unofficial.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/master/Unofficial.conf"
-
@arch113 Download the system patches package and copy and paste everything in here: https://github.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/blob/master/244_unofficial_packages_list.patch
Then give your system a reboot and the packages will show.

@ivanjong If you SSH into pfsense and goto /usr/local/pkg/ you will find template files there. I use winscp to ssh into pfsense. Makes modifying files easy.

Hi!
When i try to enable e2guardian with SSL Filtering, is there any way to avoid other interfaces to get affected except using wpad?
edit*
nvm i successfully applied wpad for my lan2 only and separate my lan1 for blocking on e2guardian while lan2 is for public wifi without no blocking.

Send a screenshot of the system patch screen where you copied and pasted the patch.
