    @johnpoz said in Please help to configure HAProxy to serve certifficate on internal LAN too: Yeah - what part do you not understand if you always resolve nextcloud.domain.tld so that it hits your haproxy on your pfsense wan IP are you not getting? You have 2 options - use a different domain internally and always go to nextcloud.publicdomain.tld, or use the same domain internally as external and run into the problem of what IP it resolves to.. Change your local domain to say home.arpa or .internal or atleast something different than the public domain your using to point to pfsense wan IP on the public internet. You are shooting yourself in the foot trying to use the same domain externally as internally. There are ways around it, but they complicate the setup. For example you might be able to use views in unbound as one way to work around the problem. You could use only host entries for all your resources. But then again you run into a problem of using the fqdn for this service, now always pointing to your wan IP.. And that is great when you want to access the service haproxy is doing - but if you want to access that resource on some other service that haproxy doesn't handle - like say simple file sharing.. You are going to have problems. Since you clearly do not understand how any of this works - the simple solution is change the local domain you are using so it is not the same as the public domain you want to use to get to your nextcloud. This tone is outrageous directed at somebody who acknowledged right off the rip that English is not their first language. How many languages do you speak, John? And safely assuming it's only one—English of course—take it from a fellow English native that you'd do well to say more with less words. You otherwise were directing OP in the right direction in my opinion.

    Hello team, I have a Netgate 8200 running 24.11-RELEASE (amd64) with Suricata 7.0.8_5 package installed. Suricata doesn't seem to start. It loops to red once I press the Play button on the interface. It leaves no logs in the System logs, it leaves no logs in suricata.log at /var/log/suricata/suricata_ovpns933787/suricata.log I tried launching it manually: # /usr/local/bin/suricata -V or # /usr/local/bin/suricata -c /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_33787_ovpns9/suricata.yaml -i suricata_ovpns933787 and I get this output ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/suricata: Undefined symbol "__strlcpy_chk@FBSD_1.8" Thanks in advance, Dara

    @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.

    Ah, I changed the action to deny both and now I also have a wan firewall rule, which I also had on OPNsense. With this wan rule I can see the blocks already coming now! Is it a bad idea to have the action set to deny both instead of inbound only?

    @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 ?

    @luckman212, Thanks for your suggestion. I will check what I have in /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state, and also the RAM disk settings others have brought up. I could learn more about where Tailscale and pfSense store system files. If I find anything worth sharing, I will let you know.

    ** {Solved} WireGuard Plugin Issue Resolved via Downgrade** I successfully resolved my WireGuard plugin startup issues by downgrading from pfSense+ 25.11 beta to 24.11. The plugin now starts reliably and remains active without crashing.Interestingly, this downgrade also addressed a persistent problem with WireGuard plugin version 2.1, which was fixed in the newer version 2.9. Despite multiple attempts to delete and reinstall the old 2.1 version on 25.11, it kept reverting. However, a complete wipe of the 25.11 installation followed by a fresh 24.11 setup automatically updated the plugin to 2.9. To preserve my setup, I created a full backup (including all data) before the downgrade. After installation, I restored the 25.11 configuration file, and everything was back up and running seamlessly.

    Ok I got you ! I have a server with 3 HDDs configured as RAID 0, I've set up my server to 40 MBytes for the Maximum Object Size to cache all files under 40 MBytes, and it didn't show any sign of slowness nor a sign of saturated Disk … so I guess that's an almost optimal configuration for my server :)

    @KOM: OK, the GUI allows you to set everything to 0, but it doesn't allow you to not specify a cache_dir.  I'll play with it and check the logs.  Thanks for the help. Check resulting squid.conf, withot cache, it points to /dev/null IIRC.

    So I added IP to Unrestricted field and nothing happen … By 'nothing happens', you mean that the admin user is still being blocked from some domains?  BTW I used to use Transparent mode but I found that it was a major hassle trying to filter HTTPS, so I switched to non-Transparent mode with WPAD.  So much better, everything works and easier to control to do what you want.

    Thanks again KOM. When I tried the commandsquidclient -p 3128 mgr:infoI got timeout errors, but could be easily fixed by including the server IP address (I used loopback address).``` squidclient -p 3128 -h 127.0.0.1  mgr:info

    Try squid3.  If you want to stay on Squid2, you could check your logs at /var/squid/logs/cache.log and see what's going on.

    All countries are permitted by default. On the top 20, you still have to select the countries on the list. I could be me, but how would that make sense? @switchman: @BBcan177, Thanks for the info, I will go back an read the full thread to see how to enable your recommendation to ". I would also recommend that you look at the pfBlockerNG thread and reverse your approach for blocking all countries (except for a few) and change that to a "Permit" certain countries instead. " I am new to pfSense and it takes a while to get an handle on it and all of the packages that can be utilized and how they work.

    Uninstalled, reinstalled, same issues.  Preferences aren't sticky, constant errors to syslog server, uninstalled until it's more compatible with 2.2R.  Worked great with 2.1.5R, was very nice while it lasted.

    @floz: Ok, phew, found the culprit. It seems that the issue arises only when I have Application ID Detection enabled (in the snort device's pre-processor tab). If I disable it, then the warnings go away and the events are correctly logged to the DB. And indeed, this post confirms this. Now, it would still be great to use the pre-processor and resulting app-stats. Is there a way of using it, but without setting the appid_event_types option on the output unified2 statement? Thanks for any comments / insights! I don't believe so.  The APP ID preprocessor apparently is logging events to the Unified2 file whenever APP ID is enabled.  Barnyard2 looks to be choking on those events.  This is an upstream problem for the Barnyard2 and Snort folks to sort out.
