Anyone deploy e2guardian only to run into trouble with evolution?
Specifically, evolution will complain that it cannot connect to the
proxy. I set up proxy in gnome3 on a Fedora 29 system. I can get
around the problem by telling evolution to go direct. This is fine
unless I put the Debian 9.8.0 AMD based proxy Linux system in between
the cable modem and the Fedora 29 system and transparently proxy all
html traffic into e2guardian. This is the sort of setup, transparent
proxy in front of the Internet connection, I was planning on doing once
I verify that e2guardian and squid are working satisfactorily.
Doesn't evolution use the imap protocol anyways? Why is it trying to
make an html connection? Can I put the appropriate sites in the
exceptionsitelist to get around this problem? Can I adjust the
iptables rules that enforce transparent proxying so that a connection
to my mail server or appropriate html sites from evolution does not go
via proxy?
A problem, for whatever reason you have to add pornhub.com to the
explicit bannedsiteslist file, e2guardian doesn't detect that it's a
porn site anymore. There is something called squidguard and apparently
a maintained list of sites that e2guardian cannot detect, but I don't
know how to install that list. I manually searched for porn via google
and added about 30 sites to the bannedsitelist that e2guardian won't
block by default. Is there a more expedient way to get this list that
doesn't involve trying these sites one by one? Maybe I should be using
lynx instead of firefox so that I don't see pictures and video clips?
A question, there is an alternative dns server called opendns that has
a filtering capability. Should I combine e2guardian with opendns to
get better filtering results overall?
I don't consider filtering a solution to a porn consumption habit, but
I do consider filtering a useful tool as you build up your will power.
Personally, I think Spectrum should offer filtering for all devices,
not just Windows devices which I hardly ever use.
Set up a 64 bit AMD computer to deploy a Linux based filter, too
expensive ar ~$172. I should be able to use a Raspberry Pi, but I
couldn't get e2guardian to even start on my Pi 3. Just doesn't have
enough ram I guess.
