    @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.

    @fsansfil: Hello, Is there a way I can force update the Suricata geoIP DB? Yes, you can manually do this from the command line.  Execute this command at a shell prompt – cd /usr/local/pkg/suricata && php suricata_geoipupdate.php @fsansfil: Can I modify a country list…lets say geoip:us,... I would like to add some IPs to it? Well, I guess you might could manually do this if you understand the internal structure of the GeoIP database files.  Any change would be overwritten with the next scheduled update, though.  I don't know the internal structure of those files.

    I just messed around with ad blocking yesterday. But I didn't use squid3 for it, I used an /etc/hosts file addition. make a directory somewhere convenient, I used: mkdir /usr/local/www/adblock_hosts in a ssh on pfSense, install wget: pkg install wget cd /usr/local/www/adblock_hosts wget http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt in pfSense webconfigurator gui -> Services -> DNS Forwarder -> Advanced, add addn-hosts=/usr/local/www/adblock_hosts/hosts.txt Optional: set up a cron job to occasionally (e.g. once a month) update the hosts file However, what I found was quite a few sites stopped working. Lots of sites obviously rely on an ad being served before they progress on to the next stage (e.g. serving me the video I requested). So I scrapped the idea. I then went and created my own my_hosts.txt with just a few entries to try it out, google-analytics stuff and a couple of ad servers, a dozen lines in total for now. And then put that dnsmasq addn-hosts line with my_hosts.txt.

    Thanks for the info.  In playing around with things I really broke some other things I was trying to setup, so I wiped the server and reinstalled.  One thing I did differently was after installing squid3, I restarted it immediately, and now the problem seems to have gone away. Thank you for the help.

    @okaenrique: Hi! I use Snort 2.9.7.0 pkg v3.2.3 it is so many Alert Log but i cant see any Blocked Hosts Log ?? help please in my pfsense Alert Settings Block Offenders Checking this option will automatically block hosts that generate a Snort alert. IPS Policy Selection   Snort IPS policies are: Connectivity is any option i have missed ? Compare the IP addresses in the alerts with your local networks.  Remember that by default your local networks are not blocked. Another possibility is the blocks are happening but then clearing out automatically before you see them.  What value is the "Remove Blocked Hosts Interval" set for?  This is on the INTERFACE SETTINGS tab.

    @cjbujold: We use the new Snort IP Lists option for whitelisting some key users.  Is it possible in the list to place comments identifying the user.  In the snort suppress list we can place a comment by using the # sign before the comment.  Those this option exist in the IP lists for whitelisting or blacklisting IPs? Thanks cjb Yes, I believe Snort will understand and skip comment lines.  However, the comments will not be parsed and used in any way.  In other words, they won't appear in any logged output. Bill

    @fsansfil: Working like a charm. Thanks Bill. Alot of fun to see which engine catches what when the other doesnt F. Thanks for the feedback.  Glad to know it works like I intended.  I just had never tested it, though.  Since one day the plan is to implement inline mode that will not require an alias table, I never pushed the pfSense guys about adding a new built-in alias table just for Suricata.  The Snort table was added well before I ever even knew pfSense existed.

    is there anyway to get the antivirus to work? No idea, but then I don't use that stuff.  I played with the Clam package but it was slowing down our link too much, and we already subscribe to a large vendor AV solution on all clients and servers here so the Clam stuff was redundant and less effective.  I know the new 2.2 using HAVP, but I still won't use it.

    @PfChris: Hi bmeeks, i had "auto management" on and the Alerts File set to 500KB. Changed it to 50MB and will now check if the "problem" occurs again. Besides the "N/A" - does it work like it should? If the N/A is only a "cosmetic" thing then i don't mind at all - as long as snort is working properly Thank you for your help Most assuredly it works.  The "N/A" is purely cosmetic.  The blocked IP is in the blocking alias table (the <snort2c>table) or else it would not show up on the BLOCKED tab.  As I described above, the "N/A" simply means the alert log got rotated and so the GUI can't find the old alert description to display.  It does not mean the block is invalid or anything.  It just means the GUI code can't find the old rule description to show you (since it got rotated with the older alert log file).
