    Can I use pgblockerng aliases in Haproxy?

    80758505-9bad-4dad-a80b-c159be1045a2-image.png

    If it was a firewall rule, typing pfb would produce a dropdown to select.

    Here it has to be written, but will it work? Is it supported?

    @bmeeks So after upgrading to the newest PfSense 2.8.0 everything is now working like a charm!

    Suricata no longer seems to strip off tags like it did before! Which means I can now use my network segmented by VLANs and still use the benefits of Suricata Inline IPS! Very niiize!

    I checked in the Alerts section and it is indeed generating the correct alerts from the different VLAN sections, I put Inline IPS on the parent interface of all the VLANs.

    I assume this is because the FreeBSD version is also updated with the new PfSense 2.8.0 version?

    Because before, as soon as I selected Inline IPS mode, my entire VLAN tagging would break and nothing was reachable until I switched back to Legacy mode.

    The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat.
    With "Backup Files/Dir" we are able to do backup or also with a cron.

    @EChondo

    What's your pfSense version ?
    The instructions are shown here :

    1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png

    A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate.

    @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy:

    I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess.

    No need to wait x days.
    You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    I had a similar issue with Routed VTI over IPsec recently. FRR lost its neighbors after rebooting or when a tunnel went down. It never re-discovered it automatically. Only restarting FRR (either in GUI or via CLI) brought the neighbors back.

    When I manually added those under the OSPF neighbors tab in the GUI it seems to solve the problem as well.

  • Discussions about the Tailscale package

    Hello,
    I am unable to get the Tailscale package to work. The page at VPN > Tailscale > Authentication is stuck. It displays the error "Tailscale is not online," but also shows a "Logout and Clean" button, with no option to log in.
    link text

    This state persists even after performing the following troubleshooting steps:

    Rebooting the pfSense router.

    Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the Tailscale package multiple times.

    Clearing browser cache and using a private browser window.

    Toggling the main "Enable Tailscale" checkbox in the settings.

    Checking the logs, which show the service gets a "terminate" signal and shuts down cleanly; it does not crash.

    Manually trying to delete the state file with rm /var/db/tailscale/tailscaled.state, which failed because the file does not exist.

    It appears that the package's configuration is corrupted in a way that persists even after reinstallation. Can anyone advise on how to perform a complete manual cleanup of all Tailscale files and settings?

    @patient0 Thanks for further suggestions. The tunnel is definitely up and so I don't think this is a CGNAT issue after all. WAN firewall rule is in place for UDP on port 51823 (otherwise the tunnel wouldn't work, right?). I can ping from client 1 -> client 2 and visa versa and also ping all points in between like you suggest. I just can't open an HTTPS connection from pfSenseB from Client 1 using a browser. But I can do this the other way round i.e. from Client 2 to pfSenseA

    I will try and do some packet capture to see if that reveals anything.

    @iftvio

    Hello!

    The propriety of multiple CNs in a cert notwithstanding, and not knowing exactly which version you are running or the intent of the original design goals with regards to handling multiple CNs, a quick code review of your suggested fix would indicate that it may not work in all situations.

    Among the possible issues:

    $is_wildcard will be set based on the last CN checked in the array. str_replace will return an array when the subject ($cert_cn) parameter is an array, which will cause subsequent calls to substr that reference $cert_cn_regex to fail.

    A quick hack might be to simply set $cert_cn to the first/last CN in the array, when present.

    Of course, any code changes should be fully unit tested.

    John

    @nogbadthebad

    For information, here is the right syntax :

    Called-Station-Id =~ '.*:ssid_name'

    or in case you want to catch the complete value (ie > "mac:ssid") :

    Called-Station-Id == "aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff:ssid_name"

    -> Now, user is connecting ONLY to one ssid.

    Thanks a lot for helping me to fix this setup 👍

    @konjugatix

    allright, ive done a factory reset and switched my dyndns provider, this one messed up and gave my domain the wrong ip. Now ive got my domain set up with the correct ip and have started again.

    To this day, i have opened ports 80&443 on my appliance, though when i do a nmap on the IP/domain from outside the network(s), only port 80 is open, does anyone have had a similar issue? I made a simple rule WAN->Tis firewall (Self) with tcp on 80 and the same for 443 in a separate rule.

    The filed bug gave a good hint about not having an empty HA-Sync configuration under 'System'. I've put a username and password in that configuration to make sure it's not empty.

    This results in a working upgrade, and working Freeradius after upgrade. XMLRPC also works fine after the upgrade.

    @dennypage avahi just doesn't work - there are multiple steps required to get it working with firewall rules, and all that would be would be discovery. It wouldn't allow access.. its mdns..

    yup, that was it. I haven't installled a router in a while with pfsense and I guess I completely forgot about the need to rehash?

    But I installed screen and vim no problem. Some packages need a rehash and some do not?

    @apetrenko said in SMTP server on pfSense.:

    Question to netgate: why are you so interested to prevent me to use smtp relay on pfSense box? You have no obligation, I'm using the "community edition". Everything on my responsibility. Why are you so much stirred up against my solution?

    Because this is a security product and e-mail services have a long history of being a gigantic attack surface full of holes and bringing more risk than anyone sane would want to take on. Most other add-on services are either only still around because they're entrenched (and hard to get people to stop using) or because the risk is relatively low by comparison.

    If you want to do it, you're on your own. That kind of service does not belong on a firewall.

    EOT. Locking.
