    @aGeekhere They just release Squid 7 and it is stable if you want to check it out

    "The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability
    of the Squid-7.1 release!

    This release is, we believe, stable enough for general production use.
    We encourage all users of any previous major version of Squid to upgrade to it,
    as well as users of beta version 7.0.X.

    It can be downloaded from GitHub, at
    https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases/tag/SQUID_7_1

    Since version 6, Squid offers:

    better support for overlapping IP ranges and wildcard domains in acl countless security, portability, and documentation fixes

    Since version 6, some previously deprecated features have been removed:

    Edge Side Includes (ESI) access to the cache manager using the cache_object:// scheme - use
    http instead the squdclient tool - use curl
    http://<squid-address>/squid-internal-mgr/menu instead the cachemgr.cgi tool the purge tool - use the http PURGE method instead Ident protocol support basic_smb_lm_auth and ntlm_smb_lm_auth helpers - use Samba's
    ntlm_auth instead

    Further details can be found in the release notes and in the changelog

    Please remember to run "squid -k parse" when testing the upgrade to a new
    version of Squid. It will audit your configuration files and report
    any identifiable issues the new release will have in your installation
    before you "press go".

    If you encounter any issues with this release please file a bug report at
    https://bugs.squid-cache.org/

    I am having issues with this right now

    "I got as far as this with the make clean install no matter what I do I can’t get this package installed. I have tried pkg install heimdal same error after install and pkg install krb5 and pkg install krb5-devel. I don’t know what I am doing wrong it does the make clean for a while and crashes for the bootstrap version the other one I could get going

Please report the problem to timp87@gmail.com maintainerl and attach the '/usr/ports/uuu/squid/uork/squid-7.1/config.log" including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system te.g. a /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static into -g -tal. *** Error code 1 Stop. makel1]: stopped in /usr/ports/www/squid *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/www/squid root@free:/usr/ports/www/squid #"

    it gets so far along and fails with this error.

    @Laxarus This worked for me as well. Though I had to search the web how to edit the file (the easiest way).

    Therefore:

    Addition for anyone struggling to find where to edit files on your pfsense system.

    Go to Diagnostics --> Edit File --> insert the location of the file:

    /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.sh

    Go to line number 1232 by filling it in the Go to line field.

    That line should read:

    s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${masterfile})"

    replace only (leave the rest intact):

    masterfile

    to

    mastercat

    Then follow the above instructions from @Laxarus https://forum.netgate.com/post/1219635

    https://help.zerossl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060119933-Certificate-Revocation

    edit: oh you prob out of luck

    You can revoke any certificate issued via the ZeroSSL portal. Currently, certificates issued via ACME can not be revoked from inside the portal - please follow the instructions of your ACME client for revoking those certificates.

    the gui in pfsense does not have the ability to revoke - you prob have to move the certs to something you have certbot installed to and revoke that way.

    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.

    We have a very basic configuration between three locations. All are running Netgate firewalls (1x 4100, 1x 6100 & 1x 4200). All are on the latest firmware (03.00.00.01-2Ct-uc-15) and system versions (24.11-RELEASE).

    The local subnets are as follows:
    4100 - 192.168.5.0/24
    4200 - 192.168.4.0/24
    6100 - 192.168.1.0/24

    The VPN traffic between the 4100 and 4200 is functioning 100% as expected

    The traffic between 6100 and the 4100 works going from the 4100 subnet (192.168.5.0/24) to the 6100 subnet (192.168.1.0/24)

    Traffic from the firewall (i.e. the 6100 device) to the 4100 subnet works (i.e. I can ping any device on the 192.168.5.0/24 subnet from the 6100 firewall) but I cannot ping any device on the 4100 (192.168.5.0/24) subnet from any device on the 6100 subnet (192.168.1.0/24) - other than from the firewall itself.

    All routes are correct, but it seems that traffic from the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet hits the firewall and then gets lost - traceroute shows that it goes off into the internet.

    Note too that the 6100 has IPsec VPN configured on it as well

    Suggestions would be appreciated

    @patient0 Yes, have followed that guide and infact have set up quite a few Wireguard tunnels before with no issue. The difference this time is the CGNAT. I am pretty sure its some quirk of the CGNAT that is causing this but still unsure how to diagnose.

    My firewall settings on the tunnel interfaces are correct I think and are the same as I normally use, there is no blockage there.

    if you add the two acl's with the same acl name, they will be combined. this should produce the wanted result.

    Would look like this:
    Result would be this for the acl name "MyAclCombined1", (didn't check if below config works..) :
    acl        0_MyAclCombined1  hdr(host) -i vhost1.pfsense.local
    acl        1_MyAclCombined1  path_beg -i /test/
    use_backend      test_http if 0_MyAclCombined1 1_MyAclCombined1
    If you want more advanced combinations of acl's however i think you will need to write them in one of the passthrough sections as 'text'.

    To add to Bills comments-

    I use Mikrotik switches to mirror my traffic. They are not that expensive.. under a hundred dollars. Depending on how much traffic you are seeing, it should handle quite a bit of traffic. The good thing about this switch is that you can mirror multiple ports on a single switch.

    http://routerboard.com/RB260GS

    pfSense will monitor all traffic that passes thru the router. But if you want to capture traffic on the Lan, you
    need to put a monitoring interface at every point where you want to look at. So if you want to monitor a file server, you need to mirror/span/tap infront of that interface to see it.

    You can add a nic to pfSense and send the packets to it and use Snort, or another option is using a program called "Security Onion".

    Hmm, add the pidgin.im and skype.com IP's to the block lists?
    Maybe the webservers of those sites aren't strict on the full domain name, so the squidguard is strict and won't recognize the address exactly.

    www.skype.com skype.com (assumes "www." and goes to the site) whatever.skype.com (assumes "www." and is not recognized by squidguard)

    @Xtern:

    Hello,

    I'm new here. Very cool forum. My problem with Snort is that it shows me this:

    Warning:
    New settings will not take effect until interface restart.

    I did the setup like the guide (sticky above) told me, but I can't get rid of this warning message. It's there after restarting the whole machine, when I restart Snort, when I disable and enable the daemon and so on. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Best,
    Xtern

    Fragged is right.  That's just a "reminder" sort of message to let you know that most changes to Snort interface parameters require a restart of Snort on the interface in order for the new settings to become active.

    @markn62:

    @wagonza:

    @markn62 was this problem fixed for you? or is it still an issue?

    Not much has changed.  Seems that the package operates very much like it did since the question above was asked.  The only change I noticed was a few more "do not's"  that are important to adhere too for the package to work properly.  I guess it is what it is.

    I can't reproduce any of your current issues at all with the package even using all your custom options. Something else must be going on or you have something else as an additional problem. Try saving your whole pfsense configuration and loading that config onto a VM ands testing to give us information to go on. Or even for yourself. The devs are replacing dnsmasq with unbound afterall. If you copy your unbound.conf on your seperate box to your pfsense and only restart the service does it work?

    Hi,

    If your using haproxy-devel package, and you give the acl's the same name they will be combined into 1 condition. I think that will accomplish what you want.?

    Result would be this for the acl name "MyAclCombined1", (didn't check if below config works..) :
    acl        0_MyAclCombined1  hdr(host) -i vhost1.pfsense.local
    acl        1_MyAclCombined1  path_beg -i /test/
    use_backend      test_http if 0_MyAclCombined1 1_MyAclCombined1

    If you want more advanced combinations of acl's however i think you will need to write them in one of the passthrough sections as 'text'.

    Please add
