    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.

    @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?

    @patient0 Thanks for further suggestions. The tunnel is definitely up and so I don't think this is a CGNAT issue after all. WAN firewall rule is in place for UDP on port 51823 (otherwise the tunnel wouldn't work, right?). I can ping from client 1 -> client 2 and visa versa and also ping all points in between like you suggest. I just can't open an HTTPS connection from pfSenseB from Client 1 using a browser. But I can do this the other way round i.e. from Client 2 to pfSenseA

    I will try and do some packet capture to see if that reveals anything.

    what i meant was if you have search on either dansguardian or content filter you would have got a lot info on those topic.

    Dansguardian is not completely free so nobody started making that packages as fare as i remember.

    For more info on squidGuard
    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3111.msg30171.html#msg30171

    available as soon as a dev finds the time to add it.

    No its not there now, and its no longer running.

    So I have no idea why it was running, or It must have started during the reboot from the upgrade I guess.

    I'll keep an eye on it and see if it starts again.

    Make sure you have squid in transparent mode as well.  Otherwise you want pass through the proxy unless you tell your browser to.

    This package looks to be coming along great.  Granted it isn't perfect, I like it better than the webmin interface that is available for squidGuard.  Don't have time to do much more testing for a bit because of midterms.  Anyone interested in Content filtering should check this the link out and help the project roll forward

    The developers edition is for developers.  Unless you know how to solve these issue on your own then you are running the wrong edition.

    In addition the developers edition is NOT SUPPORTED.  This has been mentioned atleast 1000 times.  Search the forum!

    The logging page works with the file logging only. If you use mysql logging you will need to create your own log viewer.

    @Fred:

    A little off-topic for this thread, but does pfSense provide any mechanism to send WOL packets to a list of servers when it boots?  It'd be nice if it could do that, so NUT will signal our servers to shutdown and pfSense would turn them back on after the firewall was up for xx minutes.

    For this I think you could create a batch file and call it via shellcmd in the config.xml
    Maybe have it wait and then call wol after a few minutes. Perhaps use wol -f to wake a list of macs specified in the file. It will run everytime you reboot the box, but no harm in trying to wake up a server that's already on…

    It should work okay but you will want to redo your load balancing queues once you move over.

    There is a package in developement that adds the freenas features to pfSense but expect to not see it that soon as it needs some codebits that are currently only available in the HEAD codetree. Printsharing is not planned/developed currently.

    Just wondering if anything has come of this.  I've been getting one too many letters from my ISP and would like to impliment a peerguardian-like solution.
