Cannot see logs in GUI

[geek0000]

Setup the latest nxfilter on an ubuntu system. I see no logs in the GUI whatsoever.
Logging -> Request is empty.

However, the /nxfilter/log/nxfilter.log file is logging all the blocked events.

/nxfilter/log file is for system events or internal logging. Logging for DNS requests are kept in /nxfilter/db/traffic.h2.db file and you can view it on 'Logging > Request'.

Check your client DNS settings first. And send some DNS queries using nslookup. Something like,

nslookup google.com your-nxfilter-ip

[geek0000]

I did. Infact all the users are now pointing to the nxfilter. But the Request page shows "No DATA"

[support200]

Then try this one and show me the output,

nslookup block.nxfilter.org.

[geek0000]

Here is the response:
Non-authoritative answer: Name: block.nxfilter.org Addresses: ::ffff:172.16.1.16 172.16.1.16

Also, for some reason. opening any page on nxfilter is very slow. Its taking 30 seconds to load any page!

[support200]

So, 172.16.1.16 is your NxFilter IP? Can you show me the capture image of your command and output? And show me a capture image of this command as well.

ifconfig /all

And send more traffic to your NxFilter using nslookup,

nslookup google.com
nslookup mlb.com
nslookup espn.com

If you can show me a capture image of one of these command, that'd better. And you also can enable debugging and then run NxFilter in foregraoud and watch its log output. https://nxfilter.org/tutorial/i-faq.php#enable-debug

When you enable debugging, you should see every DNS request in your /nxfilter/log/nxfilter.log file or console output.

Anyway, showing me a capture image would be better.

Hello, please see everything attached.

It works fine. Do you see any .trace file in /nxfliter/db? If so, send them to 'support @ nxfilter.org'.

[geek0000]

Sent all trace files

[support200]

Your DB doesn't look good. Don't know how you get the problem, at least you need to rebuild local.db and traffic.db. Stop it and then do this,

rm -f /nxfilter/db/local*
rm -f /nxfilter/db/traffic*

And then restart it.

Perfect! Works now. the GUI is also superfast.
Thanks a lot for your help.
