      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.

        @pfsensation said in Unofficial E2guardian package for pfSense:

        @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.

        I must be doing something wrong, still not showing up for me.

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

              I use Squid Format and had issues too. Had to switch to E2guardian format temporarily, uninstall E2 Guardian, install again and then switch back to Squid format and then it started to work.

              Give this a go the other way around for E2 Guardian format, it is a weird bug but those are the steps that fixed it for me.

                @arch113 Follow these steps to enable unofficial repos and get E2Guardian to show up:

                1. Install "patch" package from package manager.
                1. System > Patches > click "Add New Patch" button.
                  Description: e2guardian patch
                  URL/Commit ID: Leave empty
                  Patch Contents: Copy/Paste all codes from here
                  Path Strip Count: 1
                  Base Directory: /
                  Ignore Whitespace: Clicked
                  Auto Apply: Clicked
                2. Save and then click "Apply" button.

                That's all for now. Now go to shell and add repo of e2guardian by following command.

                fetch -q -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/Unofficial.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcelloc/Unofficial-pfSense-packages/master/Unofficial.24.conf
                

                Go to Package Manager and try to search e2guardian. If you don't see any package reboot system.

                  Can you get the regular http block page for https sites as well?
                  Without getting the ‘Unable to connect’ browser error

                    Yes you can, however it will require you to enable MITM and install the CA cert on your client devices. This will also allow the phrase detection filters on https sites and allow the proxy to see the full URL.

                          @pfsensation Thanks mate. It worked. I had to select sslmitm and automitm in my group. Thanks again.

                            Hi all, another question... is it possible to send the e2guardian logs to a syslog server?

                              Is there a way to forward some website requests to a upstream proxy server?
                              Say if a user requests google.com that request will go through a proxy.

                                @pfsensation is there a way to use old e2g release?
                                my pfsense box is still on 2.4.1 i cant upgrade it on the latest pfsense release due to ipsec being broken.

                                  ?!
                                  Check https://forum.netgate.com/category/17/ipsec
                                  There is like no one complaining about IPSEC being broken in 2.4.4-p2

                                    @Rico we have IPSEC connecting to AWS VPN. We tried the latest release using clean install.
                                    IPSec cant connect.
                                    We tried 2.4.1 then upgrade to 2.4.4, still can not connect to AWS VPN.
                                    I'll try to boot the backup pfsense and upgrade it to get the logs.
                                    Maybe someone could help if i posted the logs..
                                    Will update the thread.

                                      I have a weird to me problem. Got the filtering all setup, blocking adult site works, going to playboydotcom, I get the denied page saying its block by category:adult. But if I remove the Enable checkbox from all ACL's (Site, URL, etc), the site is still blocked. If I remove the adult domains from all ACL's, the site is also still blocked by category:adult. Only way I can get to playboydotcom (for example) is to disable the E2guardian service.

                                      The reason this came about is, I am trying to get Software update to work on ipads on the network, i see in the real time log that a really long url starting with updates-http.cdn-apple.com is be denied. When I to the jsut that site, it works, but when I input the actual long url, I get denied by category:/Regular Expression URLs, and for the life of me, can't seem to get around it/unblock it.

                                      It seems whatever config change I put in the pfsense is .ot making to the actual e2guardian config.

                                        Sounds like you have things misconfigured. E2 Guardian has a lot of blocking methods, it's up to you to modify the configs and adapt to your needs and enable it.

                                        My guess is you have something enabled even when you disable the site list. E2G now has a few main blocking methods, Site URL, Phrase weights, Regex and Pics (although not in use much). If you make sure they're all disabled, your blocked site will work.

                                            I solved it by putting "updates-http.cdn-apple.com" (without quotes) in the Exception Config box in the URL lists ACL.
