    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)

    @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've had success doing exactly what you are trying.  Not sure where you're going wrong.  I just double checked my config and added a new allowed site by IP, it worked, take it out of the whitelist, it blocked it.

    The only other thing I could suggest would be to make sure that the WebConfigurator is using https so as not to use port 80 at the same time that Squid needs it.

    Make sure you're running the latest snapshot and build of the package, good luck.

    You can install packages from the ports collection (see http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3881.msg23723.html#msg23723 ) but we don't recommend it nor do we support it. pfSense is a firewall and should not run desktop like applications.

    There is no pfSense package for this yet. Everything else is unsupported though you might be able to hack it in.

    I am going to review the code shortly, since I have seen this issue as well. For some reason, in order for snort performance settings to take effect, you have to click save twice under Snort settings.

    Depending on the version you run you see more or less packages (some packages need yu to be at a special version). openntpd should be there. However siproxd is broken afaik and is hidden atm.

    @rafael.cardoso:

    I need help with one trouble, squid works now and very thanks for job to do its possible, but i have one site www.caixa.com.br, this site has problems when its cached, how to do for dont cache or passing from squid this or more sites? It´s possible, in linux iptables the option is -d, pfsense has something like that?  ???

    Hello Rafael,

    I dont understand your question.
    In the "cache management" tab you can enter domainnames or IP addresses which will not be cached.
    Enter
    www.caixa.com.br
    there and this side should not be cached.

    I think there have been reports in the past that some of the rules can cause issues if enabled (either meaning they eat lot of mem or whatever). Maybe try to uncheck some rules and add them back one by one. I have snort running on a 1U server with 1.2GB with no issues.

    So it isn´t possible just to add two ACl lists to the code of Squid?
    Something like:
    acl semirestricted_hosts src "/var/squid/acl/semirestricted_hosts.acl"
    acl semirestrictedlist dstdom_regex -i "/var/squid/acl/semiwhite.acl"

    acl lessrestricted_hosts src "/var/squid/acl/lessrestricted_hosts.acl"
    acl lessrestrictedlist dstdom_regex -i "/var/squid/acl/lesswhite.acl"

    Then further in the code I give them access

    I can´t figure out how to do that? I am trying to give for each part of the company a different permission to the internet.

    ANY help is welcome….

    @hsiang:

    Yup, the problem solved. but when i configure some setting in cache management, when i save it, i prompt
    The following input errors were detected:

    * The field 'Hard disk cache location' is required.

    I thought that this field by default is empty?? we do not need to key in any entry unless we want to change the default path?

    Not sure.  I would ask in an active squid thread.

    So if I understand correctly if you set the maximum object size to 0, it will still memory cache but not disk cache?
