    @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.

    @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.

    @netboy said in is something wrong with pfBlockerNG?: After my post, I "changed" DNSBL -> DNSBL mode from "unbound python mode" to "unbound mode" and so far i have no issues. Terrible idea. Moving backwards in development history there.

    @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 ?

    @mightykong Yes, my system also requires a restart after reboot, and what has worked for me is: service tailscaled stop && tailscale logout || true && service tailscaled start && tailscale up What has worked for updates included a [sysrc tailscaled_enable="YES"] that is supposed to handle tailscale restart after reboot, but it has not worked for me. I am looking into it, and others will be as well. In the meantime, this is my update one-liner command line: service tailscaled stop && tailscale logout || true && fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.90.6.pkg || exit 1 && IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg-static add -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg && rm -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg && service tailscaled start && tailscale up Options: add && tailscale version && tailscale status to automate a first check; and, the "rm -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg" is not needed, but once I saw the suggestion, I decided to keep it.

    Hi everyone, This is a noob question but already tried multiple and I hope some one can help with this. I have a Wireguard Tunnel configured and handshake is successfully performed and I can ping the server from the laptop but can't do it otherwise. Already deactivate the NAT feature and all the rules and no luck. Pfsense and this server is located in a Proxmox Server, laptop is a local. Any ideas? Thank you.

    HEllo I made a patch for reverse-proxy squid3-dev package to allow the peer authentification by certificate. the patch add in the general menu a section to choose the CA autority and the CRL. I didnt find way to call the regeneration of the crl after the crl was modified there are no hooks for that in crl manager the work arround is to save again the reverse-proxy config or to make a php script for the crontab who call squid_regenerate_crl() Regards squid_reverse_inc_patch.txt squid_reverse_general_xml_patch.txt

    Ok, thank you for your reply. I never built a pfSense package before, good to know how it works. Hope the next version will have fixed the glitches and the default will be fine.

    @FlashPan: Thanks bmeeks, I have a small lan but have only ever listened on my Wan interface. Are you saying it's better to listen on Lan just so you can see which internal client is being targeted or responding to something dodgy? I would have thought you would want Wan with all or most rules as it's better to capture or stop elements before it reaches your Lan interface? Hope I'm not starting a Lan, Wan War here now  :P My view for home users is it's better to analyze the LAN traffic so you can easily track down any internal problems by IP address.  Since the usual default for home users is "deny all unsolicited inbound" traffic on the WAN, there is not a huge risk for something coming in that an internal host did not first ask for.  Or stated another way, properly configured and not loaded down with tons of packages, your pfSense firewall itself  (the WAN IP) presents a very limited attack surface.  The bigger worry in my view is all the hosts on the internal networks.  Those are the ones that will be visiting potential problem web sites, downloading files, and opening possibly malicious e-mails.

    Having an alert sent out for power-related issues would indeed  be quite useful I think!  Also to tie in to this, it's good to get the alert for gateway failures but I do think it would be beneficial to also get an 'alert' when the failed gateway goes back online

    The only way is to run snort also in LAN (as I do). I use the same rules for both WAN and LAN. There is a long sticky thread with some advises on that.

    Skype appears to use HTTPS for much of its connectivity. I expect that it exchanges keys for the call over HTTPS before switching to UDP with encrypted payloads or something like that to send the audio/video. Disabling for specific destination IPs isn't practical - I would have to know what IP addresses any of my friends had who I wanted to call/talk to.

    Sorry Guys, once again I asked the question and after some soul-searching ;) found it. The way I did it was to add the following ACL to my squid configuration: (Services/Proxy Server - Custom Options) acl sized-users src 10.0.0.157-10.0.0.165 http_access allow sized-users reply_body_max_size 50 MB sized-users request_body_max_size 1 MB sized-users –- Explanation ---: line1: Create an ACL with an IP SOURCE RANGE. line2: Allow the ACL to use the defined access-list. line3: Maximum download size for the ACL. line4: Maximum upload size for the ACL. That's it.  Hope I helped someone else but myself :) kind regards cyber7 (aka Aubrey Kloppers, Cape Town, South Africa)
