    @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

    it gets so far along and fails with this error.

    I saw where the Netgate kernel developer updated the Suricata package in the pfSense 25.07 development branch to work with the new kernel PPPoE driver. But so far as I know that updated package has not been migrated to 2.8 CE.

    Here is the commit into the DEVEL branch: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/68a06b3a33c690042b61fb4ccfe96f3138e83b72.

    @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.

    Test this in a logical, step-by-step fashion so that you can tell what is broken before adding the redirect rule…

    1.) Validate that Squid and Dans are both running... If so...
    2.) Try connecting the browser (via explicit proxy settings) to squid and make sure you can get out... If so...
    3.) Try connecting the browser (via explicit proxy settings) to dans and make sure you can get out... If so...
    4.) Add the redirect rule and delete your browser proxy settings.

    So, I disabled HAVP and everything works perfectly. I had to reboot the pfSense system after I did because I was getting bandwidth errors. Is there a way that I can just install a virus scanner on the box? I'm using Squid 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.3

    That fix clearly did not work (presumably due to the fact is is failing to check anything but the first and second DNS entries in System - General Setup.)

    It is related to the same problem but it is a fix for DNS zones. I have updated your bug report with the related information.

    @digdug3:

    This works, but then you also have to open all the ports you have configured to this whitelist.
    If the IP was not blocked at all it would behave "normally" to the next rules.

    Hi digdug3,

    The order of the rules in the Firewall tab are important.

    Block first and than Pass next.

    If you are having a specific issue, post the issue and maybe someone might be able to help.

    Just a friendly reply.

    I do not have the same configuration. I have one WAN and two OPTs hoping to get a reverse proxy working.

    It's not working, but there may be an additional contributing factor that I don't know what I'm doing and the instructions are severely lacking.

    according to the proxy config, you can use a man-in-the-middle approach. It requires that you setup a WPAD/PAC in DNS or DHCP. This is new to me, but reading up on it looks promising. I am using my proxy only as a way to control site my girls should not be seeing. They can get to https sites though. This might be a way to circumvent that limitation.
    Please post if you have any success, if you use it.

    By the way, I plan to add this new IP Reputation Preprocessor option to the next Snort update (should be in the 2.9.6.0 package when it comes out in about a month).

    @BBcan17:

    @fragged:

    Bills pull request has still not been accepted. The change you saw was this: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/commit/048bb82a0e2c814da90816657ecedf59fedf8dbd

    Thanks for the update fragged. I thought that security issue on the Web GUI was fixed in the previous release?

    It still shows as 3.0.2 after this update.

    I'm not an expert with html/php, but it seems like this is a better fix for the same issue that was already fixed by Ermal before.

    Yes, this latest fix is an improvement over the first one.  Some more changes similar to this will be coming in the next Snort update to further harden the GUI code a bit.  It contains a lot of quite old HTML/PHP stuff that I had just left alone since it worked.  However, in today's more security conscious environment, some hardening is needed.

    Thanks Bill. I guess there is the changelog.

    Unfortunately after this upgrade, I dont see any of these changes. There are no new icons in the Alerts Tab, Clicking on a remove Block still brings it to the Lan interface. The Rules tab is not updated.

    Maybe this is still the previous release? Let me know if you want me to test anything.

    Thanks.

    Indeed like Jason writes its likely the page contains contents that it tries to read contents from http://something..  you might also want to give haproxy-devel a try as it natively supports ssl. And also as a possible workaround if the webserver url generation cannot be changed can have the backend connection created over ssl to the webservers.
