    @johnpoz said in Please help to configure HAProxy to serve certifficate on internal LAN too: Yeah - what part do you not understand if you always resolve nextcloud.domain.tld so that it hits your haproxy on your pfsense wan IP are you not getting? You have 2 options - use a different domain internally and always go to nextcloud.publicdomain.tld, or use the same domain internally as external and run into the problem of what IP it resolves to.. Change your local domain to say home.arpa or .internal or atleast something different than the public domain your using to point to pfsense wan IP on the public internet. You are shooting yourself in the foot trying to use the same domain externally as internally. There are ways around it, but they complicate the setup. For example you might be able to use views in unbound as one way to work around the problem. You could use only host entries for all your resources. But then again you run into a problem of using the fqdn for this service, now always pointing to your wan IP.. And that is great when you want to access the service haproxy is doing - but if you want to access that resource on some other service that haproxy doesn't handle - like say simple file sharing.. You are going to have problems. Since you clearly do not understand how any of this works - the simple solution is change the local domain you are using so it is not the same as the public domain you want to use to get to your nextcloud. This tone is outrageous directed at somebody who acknowledged right off the rip that English is not their first language. How many languages do you speak, John? And safely assuming it's only one—English of course—take it from a fellow English native that you'd do well to say more with less words. You otherwise were directing OP in the right direction in my opinion.

    @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 is something wrong with pfBlockerNG?: After my post, I "changed" DNSBL -> DNSBL mode from "unbound python mode" to "unbound mode" and so far i have no issues. Terrible idea. Moving backwards in development history there.

    @fjmp24 said in Notification: UPS ups battery is low: If I remove ignorelb directive, my UPS shuts down after 16 seconds This means your UPS is signaling a low battery. Either your battery is bad, or your UPS is bad. Most likely battery, but you never know. I suggest reaching out to Eaton support.

    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 ?

    @luckman212 I had a nice chat with Netgate Support Bot, https://www.netgate.com/support. I added some highlights below: "Netgate Support Bot This is a known issue reported by multiple users: enabling Tailscale with sysrc tailscaled_enable="YES" does not always auto-start Tailscale after a pfSense reboot. The current workaround is to run the following after each reboot manually: service tailscaled stop && tailscale logout || true && service tailscaled start && tailscale up" "Netgate Support Bot Based on all available Netgate forum reports, there is no conclusive evidence that the failure to auto-start Tailscale after reboot when using sysrc tailscaled_enable="YES" is specifically due to Tailscale’s state being stored in a RAM disk. The root cause is still under investigation by the community. Most users confirm that a manual restart is required post-boot regardless of RAM disk settings." I will check the RAM Disk settings to learn more, but given others' lack of success, I will not experiment with it at this time. Here's what the Chatbot has to say: "Netgate Support Bot Yes, you can disable the RAM disk for /var to test if it helps persist Tailscale's state across reboots. Disabling the RAM disk for /var moves log files, RRD graph data, DHCP leases, and package data storage back to disk instead of volatile memory. Impacts and considerations: The firewall will write these files directly to disk, so settings and logs will persist through reboots and power losses. Packages that write to /var, including Tailscale and packages like pfBlockerNG, Snort, or Squid, will have better persistence. However, disk write activity will increase, especially for logging, RRD data, and DHCP leases. Disabling the RAM disk reduces the risk of data loss after an improper shutdown, but you may lose some of the benefits (e.g., lower disk wear) intended for devices with fragile storage (e.g., low-cost flash or SD cards). Some packages may behave differently on disk vs RAM disk and should be tested after reboot. To disable the RAM disk: Go to System > Advanced > Miscellaneous > RAM Disk Settings in pfSense. Uncheck 'Use RAM Disks' for /var, then Save and Reboot. If you use logging or packages that need persistent state (like VPNs, reporting, DHCP), disabling the RAM disk usually increases reliability but may wear storage more."" "Netgate Support Bot There is no direct evidence in available Netgate forum discussions that deleting the contents of /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state resolves Tailscale's reboot persistence issue. Most reports focus on restarting the Tailscale service or re-running the 'tailscale up' command after reboot, rather than deleting state files. Deleting this directory could clear a corrupted state or force a fresh authentication. Still, it may also remove valid connections or authentication data, requiring you to re-authenticate Tailscale after reboot. This approach might temporarily resolve glitches caused by a stale state. It is still not an established solution for reboot persistence, and you should only try it with the expectation that re-authentication will likely be required afterward. Always back up any config or state you plan to remove, just in case."

    @subhan2k, I guess you only have issues with the domain name when trying to add the static route. What you could do is to add a static route like the following: us-bos.prod.surfshark.com resolves to 43.225.189.108 and 43.225.189.118. Regarding the static route in pfSense: destination network: 43.225.189.0 / 24 (/24 is the key here)

    The point is if you do not enable this options, squid3.3.x does not listen configured port. This is not related to package gui I'm doing but on ipv6=yes squid compile option.

    Hi PiBa, Thanks for the reply.  The reals were up but unfortunately I can't get the stats page working (next on my list!).  Ill persist a bit longer with it if it should work and report back.  Have been dragged away from this a bit so I don't get much time on it. Thanks.

    One other thought occurred to me.  You posted a screenshot showing only a single Snort logged alert on your LAN interface, but that was a broadcast packet.  Do you have any other LAN alerts?  Could it be that something in your routing/networking configuration is allowing your LAN hosts to get out via a different route that does not include the LAN interface of your pfSense box?  Just asking.  It is highly unusual that you are getting no LAN alerts. Have you tried running a Wireshark capture on the LAN side to see if the traffic you are attempting to catch is actually traversing the interface? Bill

    If you mean edit the report, just go on report package tab. To see/access deny page, just open a blocked site.

    It's up to you. Squid2 is a stable package. Squid3-dev has latest squid version, more gui options but still need manual lib download.

    Hello there, It's morning, let's fight back with this PfSense again! :-) So, should I be able to ping www.pfsense.com with each card of my pfsense? Thanks, edit: Finally done with it! Upgraded top 2.1 where I can configure a proxy to my wan card and reach the packages's list!

    To close this out (hopefully), the problem resolved itself after a power outage and restart of the pfsense box. Auto downloads appear to be working fine as expected. Thanks!

    While using squid3-dev for ssl filtering, you must install pfsense ca certificate for all client browsers to avoid ssl error messages.
