Hi, This morning it appears my ClearOS 6 Professional box updated , notably a content filter update and bumped me from kernel 2.6.32-642.11.1 (installed Jan 26) to kernel 2.6.32-642.13.1.

I noted that all traffic in my content filter logs stopped at 5:35, the exact time the clearsdn-content-filter-6.1.20170131.1142 was installed. The clients that access the internet via this router display a Clear OS Error page with the message of "Invalid website /" which is not the typical content filter block message since the proxy is running but the filter is not.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with this update? The web proxy was running (transparent, no auth). I shut down the proxy and restarted. Tried to start content filter....no luck. Rebooted the entire box, ensured proxy is running, still content filter will not start. I checked diskspace, it's fine. Disable content filter and proxy and I can browse fine. No other settings have changed as I am a proponent of "if it's not broken, dont fix it."

    It appears that by the time I logged back in to follow your instructions, the update had already installed. I turned on the proxy and content filter and things appear to be working fine now, thanks!

    I hope this helps someone else out....I was prepared to start digging, but thought I would just see if anyone else was having the issue. I appreciate the prompt response!

    A zero-sized blacklist in ClearOS 6 is causing grief. A new blacklist with the fix is now available. To install it right away, run:


    rm /var/cache/yum/marketplace/* -rf
    yum upgrade clearsdn-content-filter


    The blacklist update sanity checks the lists, but it did not take into account a zero-sized list. Our apologies!
