    @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.

    Hi. Is there any way to get Suricata working with the new PPPoE driver (available since version 2.8.0). Unfortunately, after enabling the new driver, Suricata doesn't report any alerts.

    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.

    @pavlos said in Telegraf stopped working after update to 2.7:

    The question remains, why different built dates? 2.7.2 stable should have a frozen repo. All of us who d/l pfsense CE 2.7.2 should have the same built date.

    Very interesting. I stumbled upon this post looking for something else. Well, my build date is different from your two:
    2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64)
    built on Wed Dec 6 15:10:00 EST 2023
    FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT

    I wonder what's up with that.

    @waffull
    I've been trying tot HAproxy to work how I want as well but I think I am missing a step.

    I can get it to work so long as I include the port number with the address. Which is what I was trying to avoid. I think the problem is that if youre using a port other than 80 or 443 it doesn't forward to those ports (e.g. 5055). The problem I seem to have is that I have a linux box with a handful of apps that all run on different ports. I could set one of them to 443 or another to 80 and I think HAproxy would work how I want, but that would really limit how many apps that box would be able to run. Unless I am missing some step.. With my understanding if plex is on its default 32400 then you couldn't go to plex.myhouse.com without adding the port to the end.. If I am wrong I would be happy to know where I am wrong and what I can do to fix it.

    Thanks. Looks like it has the ability to create a file but no way to add a file or edit/delete a file. There is also a sync tab but the documentation appears to be missing for that. It just links to the pfsense docs so no idea what that does or how to use filer to modify the auto config backup xml.

    Hi @Finger79

    have you found any information about it?
    For me it looks like PFsense itself does also not support RadSec as it is defined in RFC from 2012. Nevertheless only a view vendors support it at all.

    Maybe this changes after the Radius-blast issue.

    @Gertjan your instruction is make sense to me. I already applied that too except turn on/off ssh via GUI when needed. That's another tip. Thanks you so much.

    Suricata by default places the physical interface in promiscuous mode, so all traffic traversing the physical interface is seen by all Suricata instances running on the physical interface. That means there is no benefit to creating separate Suricata instances for each VLAN, because a single instance will see the traffic from all VLANs.

    You can, to a limited extent, tailor how a given Suricata instance responds to traffic by using customized HOME_NET and/or EXTERNAL_NET variables and making sure all the rules you are enabling use the $HOME_NET and $EXTERNAL_NET conditionals in the rule text.
