    @ha11oga11o Your LAN DNS returns both pfSense and Nextcloud IPs, so clients bypass HAProxy. Add a host override in DNS Resolver for nextcloud.mydomain.xx pointing only to 192.168.1.1. Flush DNS, restart Unbound, and all local traffic will use HAProxy with the correct certificate.

    @kabeda If memory serves, that old version of ntopng did not run as user ntopng, but as user nobody. There are lots of problems in that old version. Anyway, check the ownership and permissions of /var/db/ntopng and make sure it matches the user that ntopng runs as. You may need to set ownership of the entire hierarchy. Example: /usr/sbin/chown -R nobody:nobody /var/db/ntopng However, the better choice would be to upgrade to a more recent version.

    @Gertjan Thanks a lot for your help. This really helped me: I'm not using "pfSense pfBlocker Web server logging" (DNSBL Webserver/VIP ) as the "you are blocked web page" only shows up when the end browser user visits http sites, something that doesn't exist anymore on the Internet. All sites are https these days, and https sites can be redirected to "another https web server" like the "pfSense pfBlocker Web server". With that hint I was able to resolve my issue by: Unchecking the Python Group Policy Enable checkbox for the DNSBL Webserver Configuration on the DNSBL tab in pfblockerng. Checking the Permit Firewall Rules Enable checkbox and selecting the appropriate interfaces for the DNSBL Configuration on the DNSBL tab in pfblockerng. Forced Update | All. It now appears that all the blocked domains are appearing on the Alerts tab in pfblockerng. I couldn't find that host name in the "/var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/Max_MS.txt" file - where does your "/var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/Crazy_Max_Extra.txt:" come from ? I get that DNSBL, and 2 others, from the original maintainer (https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker/master/data/hosts/extra.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker/master/data/hosts/spy.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker/master/data/hosts/update.txt. I really appreciate your help!

    @fjmp24 said in Notification: UPS ups battery is low: If I remove ignorelb directive, my UPS shuts down after 16 seconds This means your UPS is signaling a low battery. Either your battery is bad, or your UPS is bad. Most likely battery, but you never know. I suggest reaching out to Eaton support.

    I am using the DNS-Update method I have to use a DNS-Sleep of 5 minutes to let the letsencrypt txt dns record update propagate. During this 5 minutes the acme-webgui times out. when the acme-webgui times out the Action list is NOT executed. How can I solve this ? Would it maybe be an idea to let the acme.sh script execute the actions in the action list as a post-hook instead of the web-gui? Or maybe add an option to add post-hooks in the webUI ?

    @bmeeks what's funny is the .11 version works perfectly for me on 23.05.01. I always thought it was my custom AppID stuff until you told me the real reason. I would love a new Netgate appliance that could utilize inline mode and get .SO rules. My wife won't let me until this one dies. I also can't get my 2100 to update to 23.09. But I secretly like ARM too

    @saidin Ok, I found out this thread. https://forum.netgate.com/topic/184195/upgrade-pfsense-ce-2-7-0-to-2-7-1 and applied the temporary fix described here https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-1.html#troubleshooting, which is to apply certctl rehash Later, I confirmed that I am using my correct branch in System --> Update --> Update Settings and I was able to install the packages that I needed. Thanks

    Yes, please start your own new thread. The original issue here is 100% confirmed to be resolved so if you are hitting something similar it has to be a different cause.

    @SteveITS I agree in terms of the function. It seems to work with other tools like Suricata or pfBlocker but with similar functionality. I'm willing to give it a shot once its available officially tho. Could be interesting.

    @slu said in Restore missing FreeRADIUS config: same problem after the upgrade to 0.15.10_1 today Hmmm, rereading https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14806, if the issue happens on uninstall, that would always be the "old" package and therefore the issue is going to affect everyone until after they get on 0.15.10_1. :(

    Oof, this wiped out my FreeRADIUS config as well. Did a full restore from a manual backup and a reboot. Thank goodness for backups. Can this FreeRADIUS security issue get some love? I deleted all my users (1 user for each phone, iPad, laptop, etc.) to test it, and they're all still able to connect. Using EAP-TLS. That checkbox basically does nothing. Thanks Check Client Certificate CN Validate the Client Certificate Common Name When enabled, the Common Name of the client certificate must match the username set in 'FreeRADIUS > Users'. (Default: Unchecked)

    @bigtfromaz Agreed. I'm also looking for a way to monitor logs, and potentially send out notifications on abnormal connections, eg. Connection from a previously unseen country, etc. So far the only remote solution would be: https://github.com/MindFlavor/prometheus_wireguard_exporter I don't feel like installing additional software on my router, but on the other hand, there doesn't seem to be a way to monitor these logs externally. Please let me know if you find anything interesting.

    @eroji well you have from the gui some previous process running.. What you see via some browser and a url isn't always going to be what is going on in the background.. Kill off that old upgrade process, and try with the gui.. edit: I just fired up my 23.05.1 VM and installed package just fine [image: 1697823628547-works.jpg]

    My problem was resolved by messaging one of the admins who work for Netgate. The issue was due to the fact I had to change out my 4 port NIC on my home built pfsense plus for a new one and it changed my NDI. Once I gave that to them and they updated it to the registered e-mail on file, the Available Packages came back. I hope this helps.
