  @aGeekhere They just release Squid 7 and it is stable if you want to check it out

  "The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability
  of the Squid-7.1 release!

  This release is, we believe, stable enough for general production use.
  We encourage all users of any previous major version of Squid to upgrade to it,
  as well as users of beta version 7.0.X.

  It can be downloaded from GitHub, at
  https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases/tag/SQUID_7_1

  Since version 6, Squid offers:

  better support for overlapping IP ranges and wildcard domains in acl countless security, portability, and documentation fixes

  Since version 6, some previously deprecated features have been removed:

  Edge Side Includes (ESI) access to the cache manager using the cache_object:// scheme - use
  http instead the squdclient tool - use curl
  http://<squid-address>/squid-internal-mgr/menu instead the cachemgr.cgi tool the purge tool - use the http PURGE method instead Ident protocol support basic_smb_lm_auth and ntlm_smb_lm_auth helpers - use Samba's
  ntlm_auth instead

  Further details can be found in the release notes and in the changelog

  Please remember to run "squid -k parse" when testing the upgrade to a new
  version of Squid. It will audit your configuration files and report
  any identifiable issues the new release will have in your installation
  before you "press go".

  If you encounter any issues with this release please file a bug report at
  https://bugs.squid-cache.org/

  I am having issues with this right now

  "I got as far as this with the make clean install no matter what I do I can’t get this package installed. I have tried pkg install heimdal same error after install and pkg install krb5 and pkg install krb5-devel. I don’t know what I am doing wrong it does the make clean for a while and crashes for the bootstrap version the other one I could get going

Please report the problem to timp87@gmail.com maintainerl and attach the '/usr/ports/uuu/squid/uork/squid-7.1/config.log" including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system te.g. a /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static into -g -tal. *** Error code 1 Stop. makel1]: stopped in /usr/ports/www/squid *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/www/squid root@free:/usr/ports/www/squid #"

  it gets so far along and fails with this error.

  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.

  @pulsartiger
  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.

  @Laxarus This worked for me as well. Though I had to search the web how to edit the file (the easiest way).

  Therefore:

  Addition for anyone struggling to find where to edit files on your pfsense system.

  Go to Diagnostics --> Edit File --> insert the location of the file:

  /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.sh

  Go to line number 1232 by filling it in the Go to line field.

  That line should read:

  s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${masterfile})"

  replace only (leave the rest intact):

  masterfile

  to

  mastercat

  Then follow the above instructions from @Laxarus https://forum.netgate.com/post/1219635

  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.

  We have a very basic configuration between three locations. All are running Netgate firewalls (1x 4100, 1x 6100 & 1x 4200). All are on the latest firmware (03.00.00.01-2Ct-uc-15) and system versions (24.11-RELEASE).

  The local subnets are as follows:
  4100 - 192.168.5.0/24
  4200 - 192.168.4.0/24
  6100 - 192.168.1.0/24

  The VPN traffic between the 4100 and 4200 is functioning 100% as expected

  The traffic between 6100 and the 4100 works going from the 4100 subnet (192.168.5.0/24) to the 6100 subnet (192.168.1.0/24)

  Traffic from the firewall (i.e. the 6100 device) to the 4100 subnet works (i.e. I can ping any device on the 192.168.5.0/24 subnet from the 6100 firewall) but I cannot ping any device on the 4100 (192.168.5.0/24) subnet from any device on the 6100 subnet (192.168.1.0/24) - other than from the firewall itself.

  All routes are correct, but it seems that traffic from the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet hits the firewall and then gets lost - traceroute shows that it goes off into the internet.

  Note too that the 6100 has IPsec VPN configured on it as well

  Suggestions would be appreciated

  @patient0 Yes, have followed that guide and infact have set up quite a few Wireguard tunnels before with no issue. The difference this time is the CGNAT. I am pretty sure its some quirk of the CGNAT that is causing this but still unsure how to diagnose.

  My firewall settings on the tunnel interfaces are correct I think and are the same as I normally use, there is no blockage there.
