Hi
I have a network which I have attached a pdf file with its topology inside.

There is an outdoor modem, an indoor router (with dhcp disabled) connected to it with cable and all the devices are connected to this router wirelessly.

My Question is what topology should I use for this configuration? Should I change the ip addresses or other things on the router and Keexybox?

I am installing KeexyBox on a raspberry pi 2, with only ethernet cable and no wifi module. Can I set things up in a way that wifi connected devices connect to the router, then checked by keexybox and after that they access internet?

Thanks in advance

Hi guys

Very impressive work, one question please :

Is it possible to block social media apps in profiles (Facebook, Instagram, ….etc.)?

Hi!,

I already have the application configured for each of the devices we have at home, and the following happens to me:

From my mobile phone, I have problems to use the Amazon app, every time I try to access any option of the application, it shows an error page and prevents me from using it (this happens when the device is connected and making the dns queries to via KeexyBox).

After reviewing the phone's logcat, I see that the requests made by the application against the Amazon servers try to establish the SSL connection and it fails (handshake failed) and this, I imagine, must be due to the self-signed certificate generated from the KeexyBox application.

Is it possible in some way to configure a trusted certificate such as LetsEncrypt in the application to solve this problem?

(As long as this is the cause ... which is not clear to me either).

I paste an excerpt from my android's logcat:

Hi

If i use the "Suggested topology",  does it only support wifi connection?  A rasbperry only have 1 rj45 connection so i suppose that device need to be connected as wifi.  Is that right?

Thanks

Hi, just 20 mins ago, I found about this project and it looks super interesting! I think I am going to try it now on a 3b+ laying around. I had a question tho. How does this box handle hard coded queries ? Like IPs and dns ?

This is a problem I had trouble getting my head around when using similar installations / setups such as keexybox.

Is this allowing for having access to full monitoring report? (filtered maybe). I mean not only graphs but lists of outgoing queries made by my devices and their protocols ? (sorry if I am not that clear, I am not an expert). I am hoping that this project helps me reveal potential suspicious traffic made by devices.

I guess an example or two would be best. So let's say the Unifi dream machine, it has been suspected to "phone home" without user knowledge before and, so far, I haven't seen someone showing test results about that.

One more example, android devices using hard coded DNS to send data even if a user is trying to prevent this (which apparently bypasses user's attempts to block those). Again all speculations, at least to me. And I like to test stuff so, would this be a proper project / box for me to do that kind of investigation ?

I know some tools that might already do this but I am not that great when it comes to networking yet. Still learning some basics...

Anyways, I figured I'd ask and worst case, it'll be a suggestion for you guys / gals

Edit:

Hmm funny that I had to make this post right before finally finding good info about this topic. Usually I wasn't able to get much out of my searches hehe. Here, this is what I mean. (idk how trustworthy this info is but it does describe well what I was trying to say)

Hi,

The last week I installed the software on my Raspberry Pi3 and have been doing some testing.

I am running into the following problem:

I have a device to which I have assigned a certain profile:



In connections, the device appears connected and with the correct profile assigned.



But when consulting the statistics, the records generated by this device appear in a different profile ... in fact, if I go to view the associated connection, the profiles do not match.

I think the rules of the wrong profile are being applied...





I have tried restarting the connections, and even restarting the service ... but it remains the same ..

Am I doing something wrong?
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

EDIT:

I'm checking log files and on devices.log I can see that the device has assigned the profile ID 4

Hi ,


I would you Keexy for parental control for my children( web filtering + time planning). They're using PS4 (over wifi) , one of my kids has it's own computer (over wifi) and there's the common computer for the family.
I have a 1Gb fiber access (with freebox revolution).
I guess I have to use it has wifi access point ? Because I would avoid to route all data , at least from the main computer , through Keexy, except if it's possible to get max bandwitdh with it (currently ~400Mb from main computer). Or using only dns is enough ? What do you think is the best topology for my case ?

And because this computer is shared , is it possible to use windows accounts to log in keexy ?

Regards,

Yann

Hello,

Thank you very much for this cool idea. 
What is the recommended hardware configuration for this? I've never used a Pi and I'm starting from scratch. Do you recommend Raspberry pi 4, 4GB RAM, Fan cooling? 

Will an old Raspberry pi 1 (512MB RAM) work? 

If I want Keexybox to sit before my router (Google Nest), it should be sufficiently powerful to handle the traffic. It would be helpful to list some example hardware configurations on your installation page. 

Thanks,
gs

Firstly - wanted to say what a great project this is - keep up the good work!! 

I seem to have an slight issue - I've noticed that as of 20:00 on the 16th Nov my stats have stopped displaying. Any ideas what would cause them to stop showing? It's for all devices and all profiles with statistics enabled.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I'm using RPI 3B+ as h/w for keexybox. When I tried to add the blacklist from shallalist it takes more than 3 hours until my box responding again and adding blocklist from v.firebog.net takes more then 1 hour. Is that normal operation?

Anybody have experience with RPI 4?

Thanks
