    Can I use pgblockerng aliases in Haproxy?

    80758505-9bad-4dad-a80b-c159be1045a2-image.png

    If it was a firewall rule, typing pfb would produce a dropdown to select.

    Here it has to be written, but will it work? Is it supported?

    @bmeeks So after upgrading to the newest PfSense 2.8.0 everything is now working like a charm!

    Suricata no longer seems to strip off tags like it did before! Which means I can now use my network segmented by VLANs and still use the benefits of Suricata Inline IPS! Very niiize!

    I checked in the Alerts section and it is indeed generating the correct alerts from the different VLAN sections, I put Inline IPS on the parent interface of all the VLANs.

    I assume this is because the FreeBSD version is also updated with the new PfSense 2.8.0 version?

    Because before, as soon as I selected Inline IPS mode, my entire VLAN tagging would break and nothing was reachable until I switched back to Legacy mode.

    The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat.
    With "Backup Files/Dir" we are able to do backup or also with a cron.

    @njaimo There's a note on https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/services/dns/resolver-config.html

    Python Module Order:

    Controls the position of the Python module in the DNS resolution process. If DNSSEC is disabled, this option has no effect. Pre Validator: The script is run before DNSSEC validation. Post Validator: The script is run after DNSSEC validation.

    Since we normally forward (to Quad9) we disable DNSSEC.

    @EChondo

    What's your pfSense version ?
    The instructions are shown here :

    1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png

    A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate.

    @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy:

    I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess.

    No need to wait x days.
    You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    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.

  • Discussions about the Tailscale package

    Hello,
    I am unable to get the Tailscale package to work. The page at VPN > Tailscale > Authentication is stuck. It displays the error "Tailscale is not online," but also shows a "Logout and Clean" button, with no option to log in.
    link text

    This state persists even after performing the following troubleshooting steps:

    Rebooting the pfSense router.

    Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the Tailscale package multiple times.

    Clearing browser cache and using a private browser window.

    Toggling the main "Enable Tailscale" checkbox in the settings.

    Checking the logs, which show the service gets a "terminate" signal and shuts down cleanly; it does not crash.

    Manually trying to delete the state file with rm /var/db/tailscale/tailscaled.state, which failed because the file does not exist.

    It appears that the package's configuration is corrupted in a way that persists even after reinstallation. Can anyone advise on how to perform a complete manual cleanup of all Tailscale files and settings?

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection.

    If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application?

    Thanks.

    Ok, thanks.

    As far as the other settings go with bandwidthd (Skip Interval, Graph Cutoff, the CDF outputs and Draw Graph stuff - do I need to enter anything in those to get bandwidthd working? Or is the default fine for most purposes?

    Cheers,

    I'm new to pfSense, but I like it so far.

    I installed on my machine from the LiveCD 1.2-Beta-1 from 4/30/07, and then grabbed the 6-6-07 snapshot. I added the package SNORT, got my Oinkmaster code, updated definitions and such, but I don't think it's working. When I go to Services->Snort in the webgui and check for blocked IPs or alerts, there are none.

    I removed the package and also deleted each and every file and/or directory that was named ntop (libs, /var/db, /tmp, etc…) .

    Then I reinstalled the package again, reconfigured it and now its working again.

    1. The access to https://my_pfSense/bandwidthd page is not protected. Is it "by design" or is it a gap?

    By design i think

    2. Why the GUI limits bandwidthd to an unique subnet? I must to choose LAN or WAN. If I want LAN & WAN & others interfaces I can't do it? Is it possible a different configuration editing config.xml

    As i remember not many could use more than 1 interface so it got forced. But there is more info in the bounty post.

    From http://sourceforge.net/projects/bandwidthd

    RE: monitor multiple devices
    By: tlhonmey (tlhonmey) - 2007-01-16 08:55
    So far as I know, bandwidthd is only capable of capturing on one interface. If you want to capture on more than one then you'll need to run two copies with two different config files. Make sure you use different PID files and save locations.

    You'd want to install Squid (web proxy), enable logging in it and then install Lightsquid (to make it easy to view the squid logs).

    To ensure people use it you'd probably want to set up firewall rules on the LAN port to block access to outbound 80/tcp and 443/tcp.  You could simply tick the box for the transparent proxy, but that wouldn't catch HTTPS (443/tcp).

    Your need access to the Internet and a installed version of pfSense.

    And it is recommended to use 1.2beta on new installs
