[Solved] eBlocker function test: Web filtering (HTTPS) failure on iOS eBlockerOS 2.9.1

@ruky Thanks for the comprehensive overview👍

Please verify if the cloaking is working by visiting the Privacy Check in the upper right corner. If this works, the cert is installed correctly. If ads are gone as well: eBlocker works properly from my perspective.

Not sure why the test fails, but maybe the test has a glitch under certain circumstances? I‘d guess the DNS response is cached still with your client. 🤔

Please check Settings>Doctor for any info on issues - and share here.

Btw: You‘ve done great by posting the images straight into the forum. No need for extra PDF in future as there is no additional info contained.

THX!

Hello Random,

Here's how it looks at www.heise.de:

How can I tell if the advertising has disappeared?

At www.audi.de, for example, there is no icon:

I have not recorded www.audi.de as a secure website.

However, with other websites like www.bosch.de, www.allianz.de, www.stern.de I already get the red square.

The doctor also brings only green lights.

However, what I notice additionally.

Some Office 365 IMAP mailboxes are no longer synchronized! Does this mean that the FB 7590 also belongs in the exception list for network setup for Individual configuration like the FB 7490?

Thanks Peter

Just hit Pause in the Dashboard and reload the page. You'll see the website without using eBlocker.

That's fine. eBlocker works. Check this support article.

You probably need to add the eBlocker certificate to your IMAP client or enable the Trusted App for Microsoft / Office.

The Individual Network Configuration is always the much better choice than the Automatic mode as this is 100% fail save. Depending on your client devices Auto Mode can cause interrupts with streaming media.

@random,

"You probably need to add the eBlocker certificate to your IMAP client or enable the Trusted App for Microsoft / Office."
-->  I would not know how to add this certificate in my iMac for Outlook Office 365  (in the forum and FAQs I have found nothing).
The individual network setting leads to the fact that my IMAP mailboxes can be read again. 

The DNS firewall error in the functional test is also gone.

The Web Filter (HTTPS) error is unfortunately not gone. Is it right that I can ignore this if the Red Squares work?

Thanks

Again: Please enable the Trusted Apps for Microsoft / Office using Settings>HTTPS>Trusted Apps. Type "micro" or "office" in the search field and make your choice. Sorry, I'm not using Mac nor Office and can't help more in detail.

Yes, I would ignore the test if everything else works fine.

THX!

You can do a test in the macOS Terminal app to verify the HTTPS connection via eBlocker.

Just open the Terminal and run the command:

curl -i  https://setup.eblocker.org/_check_/routing 

The expected result is:

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

This response comes directly from the eBlocker. It shows that HTTPS is set up correctly.

Please post the output of the curl command if you get another response.

@bpr 

my result:

The default interactive shell is now zsh.

To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

Thanks! The result shows that a request from your Mac to setup.eblocker.org does not go via eBlocker.

But if you see the eBlocker icon on other HTTPS websites I can only think of two reasons:

• The site eblocker.org could be defined as a HTTPS exception. To verify, go to Settings / HTTPS / Trusted Websites and enter "eblocker.org" in the search field.
• The network routing could be unstable, so sometimes requests go via eBlocker and sometimes directly.  This can happen in automatic network mode. The solution would be to use "individual network settings" (see https://eblocker.org/en/docs/eblocker-individual-network-setting/ ) which means that the DHCP service is running on eBlocker instead of your router.

@bpr 

Thanks!

The first bullet has hit it. After I deleted this, the HTTPS function test is also green.

The Individual Network Mode I already had, because the Automatic Mode on the FB 7590 also does not work.
