Bug in SafeSquid’s Time profile entry
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2022 6:39 am
Time profile won’t be applied when the minute range has the value of (From:00 – To:00).
Minute range of (From:30 – To:59) will only be applied for the actual minute range 30 to 59 rather than from 10:30 till 4:59 it will be applied from 10:30-10:59,11:30-11:59,12:30-12:59 and so on till 4:30-4:59.
You can validate if time profile for the connection is being applied, Using logs.
Output of find_client_id.sh, from which we can validate, time profile is not getting applied.
(Note: If you don’t know how to use find_client_id.sh check out our post on how to use find_client_id.sh)
log line profiles: is appended when time profile is being applied to the connection.
A workaround for this problem is to not use end minute range as 00 in your time profile entry.
For example, you can use time value as 10:59 AM, when you want the time to be 11:00 AM.
Use the time range (From: 00 – To: 59)
