[Solved] Eblocker license

ad 1) If you have a eBlocker Family Lifetime license than you might want to keep it. Otherwise you should rather use Open Source license to get full features lifelong as well.

ad 2) There are no limits at all built into eBlockerOS (but of course in RAM, CPU limits thruput). The 10 devices was for claiming a limit as we never tested it with say >100 devices - as a warranty prequisite. 

ad 3) If you want full >100 MBit/s thruput while being protected with all standard blockers enabled: yes. But if you are happy today: never change a running system.

Last: eBlockerOS loves RAM. So you might want the brand new Raspi4 8GB to be future proof - and „limitless“ if you upgrade  😋 😎 

THX!

Thanks a lot for your Answer Random.

Great. 😎 

1 - YES my License i Family License = OK!

2 - Do we have a possibility to see some HW monitor to validate usage (like CPU, RAM, HDD, ETH port, Monitor), or some report (syslog etc.)?

3 - rapsberry PI4 4G offered with 8G at the moment 6-8 week 

Iam using/working with Linux/MacOS/Windows and with smart devices at home.

Time to clarify my Question:

After initial configuration in Ubiquiti network (Home), starting without httsp interception. 

All work good without stopping connection to internet, 2 time in two week problem with DNS Resolving.

Solved by Changing DNS Server to one internal DNS and one DNS external - no problem at moment.

After 2 Week:
Starting on 5 devices with https interception and eblocker freeze connection to the internet. Local eblocker IP is online and allow me restart device. After Restart works all OK.

2 days later and all back - internet connection freeze, restart eblocker help to solve this issue.

Now i hope you understand to me why iam looking for HW setup on eBlocker or other limitation.

As i do more forensic analysis for my Company iam interesting about, how it works and how can work it better 🙂

Not sure if PI4 4G can help me, when you wrote 8G should be a better, let me try and see.

Again thanks a lot for your Anser and help to me.

see https://eblocker.org/community/feature-priorities/status-display/ and https://eblocker.org/community/feature-priorities/eblocker-logging/

With the core team we have no plans/ressources to implement. But you are more than welcome to do so.

Raspi 4 8GB ist the future proof version. Raspian (the base of eBlocker) is available as 32bit at the moment so it can only address 4GB anyhow... but in future... it‘s future proof 😉 

Freezing connections: You are probably using VPN/Tor. If your VPN service is down, client gets no connection and „freezes“. s. https://eblocker.org/community/main-forum/kill-switch-when-vpn-connection-drops/#post-1285  and/or DNS servers you are using are unstable (as you found out already).

eBlocker does not freeze any connection or it‘s a new bug that has not been discovered in years. If you feel it is: pls help drilling down and send diag report at next „freeze“. But pls make sure it‘s not VPN/DNS being the bad guy...

Tech docs and everything about how eBlocker technically works are on github. Pls check it out there. Here it‘s for end users. Github is for developers.

THX!

Thanks a lot again for your Reply!

Great give me some times to read all of this Docu.

Iam not using Anonymiser or VPN connection on eblocker. At first iam trying and testing basis funcitions of Box.

I will try to make diag file by next freeze.

Perfect. But please make sure it‘s not your dns infrastructure by at least pinging some IP, say 9.9.9.9 ...

@random

Sure 🙂 🙂
