    @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.

    Problem with site with squid -3 development

    Maybe a "proxy.pac" file or "wpad.dat" would be an option. (create one in the usr/local/www folder and make a symb-link for the other)
    There are topics on how to serve this pac-file via extra http-service on port 80 in combination with DHCP and have the pfsense GUI run on https.

    How successful it will be that depends on how you roll out DCHP (additional option 252, text, location of proxy.pac) and if users are allowed to change their internet settings regarding proxy settings.
    You filter https or facebook requests to be redirected to a "denied page".

    Example "proxy.pac"

    function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {   url = url.toLowerCase();   host = host.toLowerCase();   isHttp = (url.substring(0,5) == "http:");   isHttps = (url.substring(0,6) == "https:") // If the requested website is hosted within the internal network, send direct.     if (isPlainHostName(host) ||           shExpMatch(host, "*.home") ||           shExpMatch(host, "*.local") ||           isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0") ||           isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "172.16.0.0",  "255.240.0.0") ||           isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "192.168.0.0",  "255.255.0.0") ||           isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "127.0.0.0", "255.255.255.0")) { return "DIRECT"; } // Forward non-http(s) and some hosts to forward proxy (or DIRECT (or access denied page?)) if((!isHttp && !isHttps) // Skip all non http(s)   || dnsDomainIs(host, "microsoft.com")   || dnsDomainIs(host, "windowsupdate.com")   || dnsDomainIs(host, "eset.com")   || dnsDomainIs(host, "mcafee.com") // McAfee   || dnsDomainIs(host, "siteadvisor.com") // McAfee   || dnsDomainIs(host, "hackerwatch.com") // McAfee   || dnsDomainIs(host, "hackerwatch.org") // McAfee   || dnsDomainIs(host, "avg.com")   || dnsDomainIs(host, "grisoft.cz")   || dnsDomainIs(host, "avgfree.com")   || dnsDomainIs(host, "avg.cz")   || dnsDomainIs(host, "symantecliveupdate.com")   || dnsDomainIs(host, "thawte.com")) { return "DIRECT"; } if (isHttps)   // Skip HTTPS (or return access denied page?) { return "DIRECT"; } // Otherwise, go through our proxy or if it fails, through bypass return "PROXY 192.168.0.1:3128; DIRECT"; }

    Or you could try a squidguard filter with a redirect page, maybe add a "proxy-list" and "VPN-service-list" to the block list there so users won't be able to use or search for anonimous-proxy or VPN's to circumvent the restrictions.

    Blinkled memory leak? (Alix platform)

    I think I've found a semi-reliable way to reproduce the leak. But as this is an alix2d3 with 256mb box running extra stuff pushes it's memory limits tight.

    If the interface goes away, the following code to never hit the cleanup path (can't find the source on the git repos, so from that post linked in the first post.):

      for(ifp = TAILQ_FIRST(&ifh); ifp; ifp = TAILQ_NEXT(&ifc, if_list))   {       n = kvm_read(kd, (u_long)ifp, &ifc, sizeof(ifc));       if(n<0)       {         fprintf(stderr, "Error: kvm_read(element): %s\n", kvm_geterr(kd));         kvm_close(kd);         return -1;       }       if(strcmp(ifname, ifc.if_xname) == 0)       {         data->opackets = ifc.if_data.ifi_opackets;         data->ipackets = ifc.if_data.ifi_ipackets;         data->obytes = ifc.if_data.ifi_obytes;         data->ibytes = ifc.if_data.ifi_ibytes;         data->baudrate = ifc.if_data.ifi_baudrate;         kvm_close(kd);         return 0;       }   } }

    Note; there is no kvm_close(kd) if the interface isn't matched.

    I guess the package isn't being restarted in some conditions when the interface derps.

    pfSense recreates everything at boot time from data in its own config.xml - which is where all the GUI settings are saved. If you change any package conf file from the command line, the change will be lost when you reboot, or some other event happens that makes pfSense restart all the packages. You have to find a way to do your settings using the GUI provided with the package.

    @petzi:

    @bryan.paradis:

    So you have received just one email from cron complaining that vnstat couldn`t create backups? Is it possible that the dyndns set the filesystem back to Read only after the vnstat script set it to read write and so it failed? This script gets run every minute by cron so I guess this may be possible that the timing just aligned perfectly.

    I've no idea. Probably mounting rw/ro isn't logged.

    If it happened only once? It must have been the fluke lining up of filesystem getting switched back after the rw call was made by the script.

    @JWTrance:

    Thanks for the new Suri package, been looking forward to this for a bit. :)

    Feel free to disregard, but I was wondering how hard it would be to implement an options tab similar to the oldschool Snort IDSControl Center (see example)

    I like the idea of being able to quick select options for a custom starting command line and then being able to save that Suri/Snort profile for later use.

    Be on the lookout for a substantial update to the Suricata package to be posted sometime over the next few days. I will be submitting the Pull Request shortly.  This will be version v0.2-BETA of the package.  There are lots of bug fixes and some other enhancements (such as an included Dashboard Widget, better rule update management and logging, and a Bro output option for Barnyard2).

    As for some control over command-line options, that is certainly possible.  Right now a fair number of parameters are configurable in the GUI and then provided to the Suricata binary via the suricata.yaml conf file.  Are there some Suricata-specific command-line options you need that are not available in the GUI?  If so, post a list and I will see what I can do.
