    Can I use pgblockerng aliases in Haproxy?

    80758505-9bad-4dad-a80b-c159be1045a2-image.png

    If it was a firewall rule, typing pfb would produce a dropdown to select.

    Here it has to be written, but will it work? Is it supported?

    I saw where the Netgate kernel developer updated the Suricata package in the pfSense 25.07 development branch to work with the new kernel PPPoE driver. But so far as I know that updated package has not been migrated to 2.8 CE.

    Here is the commit into the DEVEL branch: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/68a06b3a33c690042b61fb4ccfe96f3138e83b72.

    The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat.
    With "Backup Files/Dir" we are able to do backup or also with a cron.

    https://help.zerossl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060119933-Certificate-Revocation

    edit: oh you prob out of luck

    You can revoke any certificate issued via the ZeroSSL portal. Currently, certificates issued via ACME can not be revoked from inside the portal - please follow the instructions of your ACME client for revoking those certificates.

    the gui in pfsense does not have the ability to revoke - you prob have to move the certs to something you have certbot installed to and revoke that way.

    I had a similar issue with Routed VTI over IPsec recently. FRR lost its neighbors after rebooting or when a tunnel went down. It never re-discovered it automatically. Only restarting FRR (either in GUI or via CLI) brought the neighbors back.

    When I manually added those under the OSPF neighbors tab in the GUI it seems to solve the problem as well.

    For 25.07 RC, this worked for me (run sh first)

    [25.07-RC][root@r1.lan]/root: sh # export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes # pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.84.2.pkg # service tailscaled restart # tailscale up # tailscale version 1.84.2 go version: go1.24.4 # tailscaled -version 1.84.2 go version: go1.24.4

    @patient0 Thanks for further suggestions. The tunnel is definitely up and so I don't think this is a CGNAT issue after all. WAN firewall rule is in place for UDP on port 51823 (otherwise the tunnel wouldn't work, right?). I can ping from client 1 -> client 2 and visa versa and also ping all points in between like you suggest. I just can't open an HTTPS connection from pfSenseB from Client 1 using a browser. But I can do this the other way round i.e. from Client 2 to pfSenseA

    I will try and do some packet capture to see if that reveals anything.

    I had to play with the squid configuration last month, before the GUI made it to the webConfiguration.

    First off, correct me if I'm wrong, but blacklisting domain names (or anything other than an IP adress for that matter) will require a RegExp match of some sort (check out the squid doc).

    As for losing the squid configuration, I had that problem too. Its because it is dinamically generated on boot. The 'real' permanent configuration parameters are in the config.xml file (if I remember well) … changing them there will make your changes persistent.

    I would really, really like to see RegExp ACL's (black & white listing) in the next squid webConfigurator interface. These filters can block dangerous file extensions, which is a must for a proxy on a security appliance.

    Hope this helps ...

    Did you configure it to listen on an interface? You at least need to hit save once at the config page after you selected the Interface to write the config file for darkstat.

    OK.

    When I try to fill that blank line instead of deleting it, the blacklist gets added just under the other ones configured and the first line is still blank.

    Weird indeed.

    I'try to use it this way and make some tests. Let you guys know if spamd misbehaves.

    @KiaN:

    Hmm  :o I have no dspam.conf file, only the sample !

    There you go …

    Most packages will be installed with an accompanying sample configuration file (here: dspam.conf.sample). It should be pretty obvious, that DSPAM refuses to run, because you did not configure DSPAM (i.e. no configuration file). You NEED to configure DSPAM manually, cause there's no way for DSPAM to guess for example which DSPAM backend driver you are going to use.

    Please read the DSPAM README in /usr/local/share/doc/dspam to figure out how to configure DSPAM appropriately.

    There is no real problem with static ports. some consider it a bit more secure when the prts are changed while going through a nat, however this breaks the SIP protocol unless you use a STUN server or the provider has some kind of proxy to fix it again at their end. You should be fine. I also would only use the static port option for your SIP device or the SIP portrange, you can make everything else use the default port translation by adding the default rule below the special rule for the sip device.

    @Cry:

    Just make sure you work from the current fetchmail (6.3.x) as found at www.fetchmail.info.

    Blah Blah - He surely will use the fetchmail package from the FreeBSD ports collection, cause this is the way to go.

    Set your DHCP leases pretty high so all your users get "kind of static" IPs or add static mappings. Set up a syslog server that logs DHCP leases (status>systemlogs, settings). This way you can get the information you need. However, really detailed reports are not available with the darkstat package. You might have a look at ntop.

    FreeNAS only works with our development version.

    It's clearly stated in the package notes.
