    @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.

    Hello team, I have a Netgate 8200 running 24.11-RELEASE (amd64) with Suricata 7.0.8_5 package installed. Suricata doesn't seem to start. It loops to red once I press the Play button on the interface. It leaves no logs in the System logs, it leaves no logs in suricata.log at /var/log/suricata/suricata_ovpns933787/suricata.log I tried launching it manually: # /usr/local/bin/suricata -V or # /usr/local/bin/suricata -c /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_33787_ovpns9/suricata.yaml -i suricata_ovpns933787 and I get this output ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/suricata: Undefined symbol "__strlcpy_chk@FBSD_1.8" Thanks in advance, Dara

    @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.

    Ah, I changed the action to deny both and now I also have a wan firewall rule, which I also had on OPNsense. With this wan rule I can see the blocks already coming now! Is it a bad idea to have the action set to deny both instead of inbound only?

    @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, Thanks for your suggestion. I will check what I have in /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state, and also the RAM disk settings others have brought up. I could learn more about where Tailscale and pfSense store system files. If I find anything worth sharing, I will let you know.

    @LaUs3r Yeah, I added those IPs, but after restarting pfSense, the WireGuard status says “handshake failed.” Also, when I do nslookup us-bos.prod.surfshark.com, I get two different sets of IPs. For example: • The first time I get 43.225.189.108 and 43.225.189.118 • The next time I get 149.40.50.216 and 149.40.50.290 So I was wondering can I add both sets of IPs, and put a “0” at the end of each, and use /24 for both IPs? I reached out to Surfshark support, and they sent me their official pfSense WireGuard setup guide see the guide here in the guide they mention 10.14.0.2 for static routes

    @nazuro said in MDNS struggles: @bmeeks Thank you so much - that seems to have solved the issue! And thanks to John as well Glad that helped you. What really happens is when Suricata stops and then restarts, it makes a call to the netmap device code to first "close" the open netmap interface (when stopping); and then it makes a call to "open" the netmap interface (when starting). The netmap kernel device performs a literal "down" and then "up" cycle as it switches the interface from and to netmap-mode (netmap-mode unhooks the interface from its normal kernel connections). You can see this in your log snippet: Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1: link state changed to DOWN Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1.11: link state changed to DOWN Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1.12: link state changed to DOWN Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1.14: link state changed to DOWN followed later by: Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1: link state changed to UP Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1.11: link state changed to UP Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1.12: link state changed to UP Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1.14: link state changed to UP Using the "Live Update" mode for rules updates means Suricata never actually stops and restarts. It keeps running during the update cycle and does the in-memory rules duplication/update thing I described earlier. Since it never restarts, it does not call the netmap code to close and then open the interface.

    @cubeyglyph For what it is worth I realized my error. I configured the listen port on the firewall the same for both peers, I did not realize that each peer needed a unique port to listen on, I thought it would still route properly. Once I changed the peer listen port to tow unique values both peers came up just fine.

    If you have a Netgate appliance (SG-1100, SG-3100, etc.), try a power off restart. The crypto hardware in certain Netgate appliances can wind up in an indeterminate state after an upgrade. This leads to crypto failures (so problems with decrypting/encrypting things for authentication and such). A simple restart does not fix the problem. You must do a power off/power on sequence to reset the crypto chip. So try going to the DIAGNOSTICS menu in pfSense and choose HALT. When the system fully stops (or shutdowns on its own), then you can remove the power plug for a few seconds, reinsert it, and power up the box. See if that helps. WARNING! Make sure your box has actually gone into halt mode before pulling the power!

    @flashpan You shouldn't need to actually get it to power down, you just want to make sure that it reacts to the events from the UPS. So unplug for 15-20 secs then plug back in should be enough to see if it gets "lost power and power returned". Then just tweak the apcupsd config on pfsense for probably "min time left" or "min battery charge" for the shutdown. Just keep in mind that the Windows server is actually controlling the UPS and you have it configured to "shutdown systems and UPS after being on battery for 10 minutes", so you'll need to figure out how to tell apcupsd on pfSense "shutdown after being on battery for 5 minutes". Nice to see that at least you are able to get status. That is 90% of it.
