    Hello all, please dont shoot me on sight, im one of those who kinda set up things by following tutorials and actually see things how they look like on screen. And English is not my native language either. I setted up HAProxy with pfSense package for Nextcloud which works as VM at ip 192.168.1.214. It has self signed cert. I created ACME with Porkbun as wildcard and all that works totally fine. BUT i have big issue which i dont know how to solve. When im acessing by nextcloud.mydomain.xx in LOCAL LAN it serves page fine, but it uses self signed cert. Will someone, please, by example show me how to create working rule which will force pfSense to serve 192.168.1.214 and all its translation or whatever exclusively outside? Bare in mind that 214 has to be able to lurk in 192.168.1.0/24 also, since data storage is served by NFS on TrueNas. 192.168.1.1 (pfSense IP), 192.168.1.214 (Nextcloud IP) All works fine from outside, but from local LAN it bypase HAProxy, and serve nextcloud internal cert with correct domain name nextcloud.mydomain.xx . Well it seems that only bypas cert part since domain works. Somehow it resolve. This is what dig command does from local lan: ;; ANSWER SECTION: nextcloud.domain.xx. 3600 IN A 192.168.1.1 nextcloud.domain.xx. 3600 IN A 192.168.1.214 ;; Query time: 0 msec ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) (UDP) ;; WHEN: Thu Oct 30 08:48:37 CET 2025 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 83 Main problem here is that Nextcloud app go stuck when we are on local network. It does not work since it gets different cert. It does not even ask do we want to accept it or not. Even if does it will be bit weird to do that every time we come home. Many thnx in advance!

    @Greyhat I think it's useful to work with what we've got and figure something out for the (i hope) edge cases later. So for the JSON I figured you can actually use an existing suricata integration by co-opting their pipelines.

    @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 Docker container for nut server?: I am NOT installing docker in pfsense - offcourse this is a big security risk - I agree !!! My apologies. I interpreted your earlier question I think i need to explain what i am asking for. I am fully aware if your netgate router is attached to an UPS you can configure netgate. Let us say you 5 UPS's in your home and you want nut server to read all the UPS's and show me a dasboard about the status of all the UPS's ? - Is there a ready made docker container for client server nut with dashboard functionality? as a request to have something running on pfSense, which is why I responded I believe most people would say that the type of thing you are asking for isn't something you want to run on your firewall. I recommend using a general purpose operating system behind the firewall instead. Mutual misunderstanding I guess. If you want to explore general NUT monitoring, and not something particular to pfSense, I would recommend the NUT Users list as a better place to seek information.

    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 ?

    @Vad-B Interesting indeed! I just tried to fill the Pre-authentication Key with file:/dev/null. I get an crash in pfsense after some time, but when I login again is saved. For me this for after service restarts at least this solves it, including the issue with the routes not being advertised even set in the WebUI. Havent done an full restart of pfsense (yet)

    OK, so the base program I found and then modified. It used lsof and ipnat but it could all be done with pfctl -ss output as far as I can see. Bear in mind this is crufty 14-year-old code that probably is horribly bad in many ways. https://gist.github.com/jim-p/78b7637ef5ce8c7b3219

    Moved this to Packages since it's specific to OSPF and not specific to 2.1.1 @heper: have made a quick attempt to get ospf working with a similar openvpn tls/ssl setup in VM - and failed :( after some digging with openvpn "topology subnet" i did manage to get ospf to get to a full-link state … but routing failed. perhaps jimp or ermal or any other core dev could shed some light on this. OSPF requires tun mode to use /30 tunnel networks, or tap mode for a shared instance with multiple clients. I've not seen it work in tun mode w/topology subnet.

    @dgcom: @bmeeks: I assume you are talking about rule updates with the updates download issue.  If so, that could be because the Snort VRT folks tie rule versions to specific Snort binary versions.  This is completely out of the control of the Snort package on pfSense. Yes, I am talking about rule download issue. But I wonder how this breaks during restore? It should be downloading rules for whatever version of Snort initiated said download, right? Regardless of what version the restored config was… It restored my oinkmastercode and tried to download something but then complained that checksum was wrong. If no one else is suffering this, it might be not important to spend your time on, really. Thank you for you work on this package, Bill. I will take a look at this by playing around in a virtual machine.  It will be a week or two before I have some time, though.  Trying to get the next Snort update out the door and also will be away on a family trip for a week.

    @marcelloc: That will be a great addition to the package. Is there any public ip reputation network that whe can use? I was told the Emerging Threats guys are working on one, but I'm not sure if it will be free or pay.  Maybe they will do something similar to what they do for the rules:  offer a comprehensive and daily updated list for paying customers, and a slightly dated and maybe not quite as comprehensive list for free. The Snort IP Reputation preprocessor is pretty simple, though.  All it needs is a text file with one IP address or CIDR network per line, so that should lend itself to use with many of the other types of lists out there.

    G'day all lovers of the finest firewall in the world  ;D Would anybody happen to know what this error means: Poll UPS [ups@192.168.4.37] failed - Write error: Operation not permitted The 4.37 is the Synology that acts as the UPS server. Yesterday I was literally flooded with this (a couple of 100 emails about this), and normally I also get these a couple of times a week. Google didn't help me any further. I am trying to understand who is trying to write what to where and who is messing around with that ( :P). In NUT the light is green, the synology also doesn't complain about anything UPS-related, so I am, at least temporary, once again completely lost. Thank you for any help  ;D

    I understand your point.  But on pfsense you can get help from core team (paid support) to fix packages in that situation or to fast develop new ones. Community help as much as free time permits  :)

    @Dadoo: Ahhh… I see. Whitelists are per-interface, not per-firewall. That explains why some of the addresses on the whitelist were blocked, while others were not.  The GUI doesn't make that obvious. Now that I've set a whitelist for both interfaces, that seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for your help. You're welcome.  I am starting a project to revise/update the Snort package documentation on the pfSense Documentation Wiki.  It will take me some time to get everything updated.  The stuff there now is way old and goes back many Snort versions well before I began offering some updates to the code.  Once the documentation update is complete, I will then make sure the various HELP links within the Snort GUI to point to the relevant Wiki page.

    @neokeane: Is it possible to install a specific version package via web gui? I can install it via console, but I want to see and configure it by web gui too. WebGUI configurator for packages - specific program for generate package config files. You can not simple take any package and manage him via WebGUI. You can install any accesible FreeBSD package from console and manage him via config file (by unix style) at one's own risk. Or you can install existing pfSense package via WebGUI and manage him via GUI.

    CMB, Thanks for making the change back to HTTP. I surely appreciate it. I haven't tried it yet but I will be getting to this later today. Bryan, Thanks for being understanding. I certainly wasn't moaning and expecting someone else to do the heavy lifting for me. I was simply asking to be pointed in the right direction. I obviously have a very large upgrade project ahead of me. We knew this was coming but as usual, the project wasn't at the top of the list. I had already been looking at setting up our own repository to buy us some time but then the change happened to the package system and it was too late. It looks like I have been given a second chance. Thanks guys.
