    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?

    @bmeeks So after upgrading to the newest PfSense 2.8.0 everything is now working like a charm!

    Suricata no longer seems to strip off tags like it did before! Which means I can now use my network segmented by VLANs and still use the benefits of Suricata Inline IPS! Very niiize!

    I checked in the Alerts section and it is indeed generating the correct alerts from the different VLAN sections, I put Inline IPS on the parent interface of all the VLANs.

    I assume this is because the FreeBSD version is also updated with the new PfSense 2.8.0 version?

    Because before, as soon as I selected Inline IPS mode, my entire VLAN tagging would break and nothing was reachable until I switched back to Legacy mode.

    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.

    @EChondo

    What's your pfSense version ?
    The instructions are shown here :

    1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png

    A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate.

    @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy:

    I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess.

    No need to wait x days.
    You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    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.

  • Discussions about the Tailscale package

    Hello,
    I am unable to get the Tailscale package to work. The page at VPN > Tailscale > Authentication is stuck. It displays the error "Tailscale is not online," but also shows a "Logout and Clean" button, with no option to log in.
    link text

    This state persists even after performing the following troubleshooting steps:

    Rebooting the pfSense router.

    Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the Tailscale package multiple times.

    Clearing browser cache and using a private browser window.

    Toggling the main "Enable Tailscale" checkbox in the settings.

    Checking the logs, which show the service gets a "terminate" signal and shuts down cleanly; it does not crash.

    Manually trying to delete the state file with rm /var/db/tailscale/tailscaled.state, which failed because the file does not exist.

    It appears that the package's configuration is corrupted in a way that persists even after reinstallation. Can anyone advise on how to perform a complete manual cleanup of all Tailscale files and settings?

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection.

    If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application?

    Thanks.

    Newest version of AIM is not supported yet.  Downgrade to a previous version.

    This was covered by Ryan in a different thread.

    You can't shut that behaviour down. Nearly all config files are generated dynamicall on reboot or at config changes when needed. I think we have some code to allow what you are trying to do already in our head code tree so you can configure it from the gui but that probably won't appear before the 2.0 release.

    Try using one of the techniques described here to fetch that file: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3256.msg19680.html#msg19680

    Not on future versions, you need to modify the config.xml file.

    I suspect the default value of 'largest item to cache' of 4kb has a lot to do with it.  Thanks for the tip…I'll wait a few days longer for the cache to fill.

    @rsw686:

    @rsw686:

    Hmm I just hooked up a ups to my ip330 on com2, and I couldn't get it to work. I have an embedded install on there so that might be part of the issue. When I try and start the driver control I get the error

    Can't uu_lock ttyd1: creat error: No such file or directory

    I installed the NUT package on a fresh hard drive based SNAPSHOT-02-14-2007 and get a similar error (for ttyd0) on a box that worked fine under win32 (com1) for an APC BackUPS Pro with the 95B cable in full signal mode.  I tried all the various permutations from the webgui with no go. Went to the shell and hand ran the various nut binaries to see what I could figure out.  At first I thought it had to do with settings in /etc/ttys for the various ttydX, especially ttyd0 due to the console definitions.  But after eliminating that and a few other things, I'm still at a loss.

    I'll try hand editing the ups.conf and try setting it to simple signaling like you did to see what happens.

    Does the /var/spool/lock directory exist? If you create that directory and run chown uucp:dialer /var/spool/lock does it work? If so I will put a check to make sure that directory exists and if not create it. All the full installs I've seen have already had it, but something might have changed.

    From your post you have the console running on ttyd0. The only thing I can think of is that there is some conflict when the console is being directed to a serial port and using other serial ports.

    Sorry for the late reply.  I saw you committed some changes to the package to address this and a few other items.  On fresh installs from the snapshots back then, the /var/spool/lock was created and did exist at the time with the proper permissions.  So the safety checks you put in would be just that.

    The ttyd0 was something else I was looking into, more of the serial port on the box I was testing not properly mapping.

    I'm getting ready to roll out a new test box on to this UPS (APC Pro) using snapshot-03-08-2007 and I'll see what happens with the latest nut package.

    Snort is currently limited to running on only 1 WAN interface, iirc.

    Thanks for the tip, it did the truck :D.
    I will keep my fingers crossed and hope to never see it again.

    I was not far away from a nervous breakdown ;D.

    Yes, vist /var/squid/log/access.log in the shell,  you have to have the box checked to log access in the gui.  This file can be grepped and searched.  Just make sure you rotate this log frequently, I've seen them as large as 8 or 9 gigs in the past.

    Yeah, Issue #1 is the main problem I've been having, next would be Issue #1 whitelisted machines getting blocked.

    Issue #1

    Each change or update to the config modifies snort.conf and ,/32 is added to the HOME_NET variable, then snort fails to start, manual modifcation to change it to reflect the hosts IP is required (i.e. 10.0.1.2/32) then restart of snort

    Issue #2

    Snort is blacklisting whitelisted IPs, (namely my DNS servers and an additional server in my DMZ.

    This may be something I have to work out on my own, but as stated my setup is

    WiFi Router (external IP #1
    Cable Modem–-----Hub----<
                                            pfSense/Snotr(external IP #2

    Snort picks up traffic between the WiFi router (ext IP #1) and things like my DNS servers. this is where I get the error

    (snort_decoder) WARNING: ICMP Original IP Fragmented and Offset Not 0! [ ** ] 
    03/06-21:50:51.235361 [[b]External IP #1] -> [[b]DNS server]
    ICMP TTL:64 TOS:0x0 ID:19164 IpLen:20 DgmLen:56 DF
    Type:3 Code:3 DESTINATION UNREACHABLE: PORT UNREACHABLE
    ** ORIGINAL DATAGRAM DUMP:

    Should I just add an additional NIC to pfSense, and rather then go inet,hub,split.. go Inet-> pfSense… thus bridging WAN to OPT1 and OPT2 on pfSense, and plug in my WiFi router into OPT2, giving it full * accesss... ( I don't wanna block anything for WiFi, I want full open access.) Only think is, snort will still function on that network as I'm listening on WAN...

    Could I listen on OPT1 instead? or would snort still function?

    [snort] OPT1 - Internal network
    I.e.  inet -> pfsense WAN <
                                          OPT2 - DMZ WiFi

    or would that work?

    Rather then
                              OPT1 - Internal network
    inet WAN [snort] <
                              OPT2 - WiFi DMZ
