    @johnpoz said in Please help to configure HAProxy to serve certifficate on internal LAN too: @ha11oga11o if you resolve nextcloud.mydomain.xx to your external IP, ie the same one public people do then it would be handled by your haproxy. Example I have ssl offloading for external users for the public fqdn something.mydomain.tld - this resolves externally to my public IP that hits pfsense wan, this also resolves to my public IP when on my local network, so again haproxy handles the ssl, etc. But if I wanted or needed to access that directly on my local lan then I use its name.home.arpa:port that the service is on that doesn't do ssl, etc. What is the point of using the same fqdn internally and externally? What do you think that gets you other than issues? On this case problem is that phone nextcloud client hangs when switching out and in. Simply cannot be used when inside LAN. Well, it can be used either out or in. But to switch it it needs to be totally reset and sync. It remember which connection is allowed, at which cert. And sticks on that. Basically its useless until i sort this out to behave exactly same out and in. I cant believe no one had similar issue at home lab self hosted?? Im sure someone had need to do things like this? Thank you again.

    @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.

    Hi folks, Whenever I try to access a DNSBL blocked root domain it shows the block page but the moment it gets into a subfolder or file in the domain it only shows 1x1 px page. Meaning http://detectportal.firefox.com/ redirects to the DNSBL blockpage with the blocked domain info "This website detectportal.firefox.com has been blocked by the Network Administrator!" but if I try http://detectportal.firefox.com/canonical.html http://detectportal.firefox.com/success.txt http://detectportal.firefox.com/justatest it only shows 1x1pixel Is this by design? Is there anything I can do to make the rest of the pages show the alert? Regards

    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 ?

    I was on PfSense version 23.xx (don't recall the xx) and was able to start the Wireguard service. I upgraded to the 25.11 beta version and now the Wireguard service will not even start. I am on Wireguard version 2.1, and I see that there are versions that go up to 2.9. How do I upgrade to a later version? The only version in the pfSense updater is 2.1. Thank you

    @Gertjan For some reason, I wrongly assumed that cron would only read the crontab file when the service re/started. Thanks for the explanation, and the tips for how I could check this myself next time. +1

    @BlueCoffee said in Snort fails to install.: got the new box and all is well guess the other one was bad. Ive installed Suricata (looks alot like snort) Would you set this up on lan also? Do you know where I can read more about the setup? don't want to not have it set correct this time around. You can find several Sticky Posts at the top of the IDS/IPS sub-forum here: https://forum.netgate.com/category/53/ids-ips. As with Snort, I recommend putting Suricata only on internal interfaces (LAN, DMZ, etc.). The only time I would veer from this approach is on a box with very limited RAM and/or CPU horsepower and I had a fairly large rule set enabled. That might be a point where you conserve RAM and CPU by just putting a single instance on the WAN instead of several instances on internal interfaces. But you will have the limitations I mentioned in my earlier post. Best practice would dictate that the different interfaces on a firewall likely will need different IDS/IPS rules enabled. Rules should be tailored to the unique vulnerabilities and threats present on the protected network. So, in that scenario, individual IDS/IPS instances on internal interfaces works better (if you have the necessary RAM and CPU power). As you noticed, Suricata and Snort have an almost identical GUI. That's because a ton of the Suricata PHP GUI code was a copy and paste from the Snort GUI. Any basic set up instructions you find for Snort on pfSense will also apply to Suricata on pfSense. One key difference is that Suricata does not use Preprocessors in the way that Snort does. Suricata just works differently internally. The preprocessors were a way for Snort to add new features over the years. Suricata accomplishes that a bit differently internally, so no need for specific preprocessors. There are settings similar to the Snort preprocessor settings under the FLOW/STREAM and APP PARSERS tabs in Suricata. A big difference in the packages is the rich EVE.JSON logging system in Suricata. Initially EVE.JSON logging is disabled causing Suricata to log essentially the same way as Snort did. But if you enable EVE.JSON logging for an interface, you can capture a lot of data about network traffic and of course any alerts. Suricata can log a lot of data with EVE.JSON logging and many of the options underneath that feature enabled. Just be sure you go to the LOGS MGMT tab and enable automatic log management. The defaults you find there should be fine for an initial install. Here is a link to the official documentation: https://docs.suricata.io/en/suricata-6.0.13/.

    LCDProc package version 0.11.4_2

    @jimp was kind enough to update the LCDProc package to include a NTP server screen georou @ GitHub originally created and we updated. Current package is 0.11.5. There is a pending update to 0.11.5_1 (screens below) that improves the display of PPS, GPS, vs GPS+PPS in certain edge cases. https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/b3a3a4bf28ad8a50211b6775ed20011097ceeef9 If you have a PPS source, it will display either the number of satellites (GPS) or stability value (PPS). Otherwise, it will display the Active Peer Server IP address. Notes: I am by no means a NTPD algorithm expert, but I noticed if a source is marked as a valid PPS Peer "o", NTPD uses that to sync and serve time to clients regardless if there a separate Active Peer "*" used for time data. If a GPS is being used for both a PPS Peer "o"and source of time data, it will be marked as PPS Peer "o" and there will be no other Active Peers "*" marked (see screen cap below). The NTP Widget seems to display the Active Peer "*" even when the PPS Peer "o" is actually being used to sync and serve time to clients. Which source is actually served to clients can be confirmed with "ntpq -c sysinfo". If you want to see the stability value when using a GPS with PPS, you can simply set the Clock ID of the GPS source to "PPS". I intentionally did not include seconds on the display since even with the LCDProc Refresh Frequency set to 1 second, time will jump multiple seconds with each screen refresh. Not sure if there is another mechanism that would improve the refresh rate of the first row to eliminate increments of multiple seconds. Feedback welcome, subject to the limitations noted above. I happen to be using a Garmin 16X (PPS Only) and 18X (GPS+PPS). NTPD only supports one PPS source at a time, thus marks the second as False Ticker "x" https://github.com/elvisimprsntr/pfsense-ntp-gps.

    @aaronssh Well, I’m using mac-auth and my clients are entered on the MAC addresses sheet, so it does work in the right configuration. But if you are not going to use 802.1x you can just create the MAc addresses as users.
