Havp blocking (?)

awsiemieniec

pfSense: 2.0.2-RELEASE (i386)
HAVP: 0.91_1 pkg v1.01
squid: 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.3

No install of snort.

when going to a site I get:

HAVP

The following server is down:
Connection failed

/var/squid/logs/access.log has:

TCP_MISS/200 1235 GET http://ebptllc.com/ - DEFAULT_PARENT/havp text/html

HAVP whitelist includes:
.ebptllc.com/

Any ideas why I can't get access to this site? If I access the site from a different network, it works fine. DNS is good - it resolves correctly, as does nslookup from the console.
?

Thanks.

I don't think HAVP is doing any sort of blocking, same with squid. But something in pfSense is not allowing the connection to the site: ebptllc.com.

Where do I look, what log would show something about why people are unable to connect to a web site? site in question is ebptllc.com. When people browse to ebptllc.com from the LAN behind pfSense, the site is unavailable. If I browse to the same site from another network, the site pulls up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Aaron

found one occurance of TCP_MISS/403 in the access.log for squid. Looks like the origin side is blocking the IP. Called host and removed block. Not a HAVP, pfSense or squid issue.

So do you have both squid and HAVP setup as transparent proxies?
If so, you should set HAVP as a "parent for squid"

That said, this is not how HAVP blocking will alert you.
If HAVP is working you should get a blue and orange graphic screen showing that HAVP has blocked a file.

Correct, that is how squid and HAVP are setup - HAVP as "parent for squid" and I do/did get the blue and orange graphic screen stating HAVP blocking.

Thx.
