    Can I use pgblockerng aliases in Haproxy?

    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.

    @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?

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection.

    If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application?

    Thanks.

    @cthurner:

    Hello,

    thanx for your reply. I have used the radtest tool on the command line to test the OTP authentication as described here https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_2.x_package. As password I have used the OTP that has been created by DroidOTP on my
    Android phone. I don't think I have mistyped anything. Furthermore I have compared the otpverify.sh from http://motp.sourceforge.net/bash/otpverify.sh
    with the version provided by the freeradius2 package. The original script uses "OTP=printf $EPOCHTIME$SECRET$PIN|checksum|cut -b 1-6" (in line 104)
    whereas the freeradius version uses "OTP=printf $EPOCHTIME$SECRET$PIN|checksum|cut -b 6". In my understanding the second version is wrong, as it only
    uses the 6th character instead of the first 6 characters. Therefore any authentication request via radius will be rejected. With my modifaction it works. So I think this is indeed a bug.

    CU

    Christian

    I try to explain it again for you.
    On the GUI YOU probably typed:

    6

    This is "wrong" because it only uses character 6 (just one character)

    On the GUI you MUST type:

    1-6

    This uses characters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

    TCP does not have a notion of a "request". TCP is just a binary stream of data, like a file stream. What you would need is a reverse proxy that could forward based on mysql protocol.

    My guess is this has not been done as it sounds like there is a better way to handle this, but I could be wrong. Hopefully someone can help you with if this can be done.

    If your WAN IP is public, DynDNS will let you reach it.

    If your WAN IP is private and you control your modem/router ahead of you, then set it to pass the traffic into your pfSense (e.g. port forward, "DMZ", etc) and you can still use DynDNS.

    If your WAN IP is private and your ISP is performing Carrier-Grade NAT then in all likelihood you have no way to receive inbound traffic for remote management.

    If you have another location that has a public address, you could do a site-to-site tunnel to there, and then have a remote access VPN connect to that and hop across a site-to-site VPN to reach the router that's stuck behind NAT.

    @percyiii:

    save one of the dansguardian pages..
    check make sure it started…
    check make sure the web ulpload is now working

    Now the how-to had fetch to e-sac.siteseguro.ws going into /usr/local/sbin
    /usr/local/sbin is symlinked to /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/.sbin/dansguardian
    But the only way I could get it to work was to fetch to /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/sbin not .sbin..
    Does Dans use both executables?
    Whick one runs?

    I fetch to  /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/sbin  which seems to work fine for me.

    In the menu, look at Services - proxy filter.  From there, use Times to create your schedule.  Then go to Groups ACL to create groups of IP addresses and what they are allowed to access, and link them to the schedule.

    @BBcan177:

    I would suggest that you block all outgoing LAN DNS requests unless they are originating from your DNS Server(s) or pfSense DNS apps.

    This is a very effective way to handle the potential issue.  Restrict all LAN DNS traffic to just your internal DNS server (or servers), then further restrict outbound DNS (on WAN) to designated forwarders.

    There are some DNS policy rules in the Emerging Threats family that can help as well, but in my view the easiest method is restricting outbound DNS to only authorized hosts.

    I'm no expert either.  I just try to help people if I can.

    To get to the log, first login to the shell (option 8 in the pfSense text menu).

    From there, go to /var/log and look for squidGuard.log.  Maybe take a look at the system.log while you're at it.

    I can't even begin to tell you what to look for other than obvious errors.

    1.2.3 is no longer supported. Squid+SquidGuard on NanoBSD on 1.2.3 even less so.

    There could be some remnant of a past installation somewhere on the drive in /usr/local/pkg/ or in the config.xml that needs cleaned out. Not enough info to say, but you should really be running the latest version (2.1.x) and not 1.2.x.

    Updated to pkg 2.2.5 yesterday, Squid refuses to start. However the error message has changed, it is now :

    php: /status_services.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/squid.sh stop' returned exit code '1', the output was '2014/06/10 13:23:33| parse_peer: token='round-robinssl' FATAL: Bungled /usr/pbi/squid-i386/etc/squid/squid.conf line 98: cache_peer 10.0.0.10 parent 443 0 proxy-only no-query no-digest originserver login=PASSTHRU round-robinssl sslflags=DONT_VERIFY_PEER front-end-https=auto name=rvp_exchange Squid Cache (Version 3.3.10): Terminated abnormally. CPU Usage: 0.015 seconds = 0.007 user + 0.007 sys Maximum Resident Size: 29312 KB Page faults with physical i/o: 0'

    and then :

    squid: Bungled /usr/pbi/squid-i386/etc/squid/squid.conf line 98: cache_peer 10.0.0.10 parent 443 0 proxy-only no-query no-digest originserver login=PASSTHRU round-robinssl sslflags=DONT_VERIFY_PEER front-end-https=auto name=rvp_exchange

    Obviously there is some code in the config pointing to a server that does not exist any more. Can I delete this line ? I could not find any point in
    the GUI pointing to this retired server and I have never configured a chache_peer.

    Thank you for your hints

    Bug:

    Warning: inet_pton(): Unrecognized address TCP in /usr/local/www/suricata/suricata_blocked.php on line 247 Warning: inet_pton(): Unrecognized address TCP in /usr/local/www/suricata/suricata_blocked.php on line 247

    Rule that caused it:
    files.rules:
    1:22 FILE pdf claimed, but not pdf <<< fires up when spiders (eg googlebot) try to download a part of a pdf, therefore DELETE UPSTREAM (part after <<< is in the upcoming suricata topic)

    It also breaks the alerts tab, with text all over the place.

    Thanks for the report.  I will add this to my list.  I'm holding the next Suricata hoping the Ports tree on FreeBSD will soon update to the 2.0.x Suricata branch.
