    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.

    Tinydns (pkg dns-server) issues

    1.  Thanks, I'll fix this shortly
    2.  Tinydns status page is for LB/Failover (DNS)
    3.  TinyDNS will not start until you configure atleast one item on the settings page and click save
    4.  Not sure about DNS Forwarders, that was done by someone else.  Patches accepted.
    5.  See #4
    6.  I will look into it

    EDIT: looks like someone forgot to finish their code (not me):

    /* NEED TO FIX there are 2 logs /etc/tinydns/log/main/current and /etc/dnscache/log/main/current */

    $tinydnslogs = cat /etc/tinydns/log/main/current | /usr/local/bin/tai64nlocal | php -f /usr/local/pkg/tinydns_parse_logs.php | grep -v ":0";

    /* NEED TO FIX */
    if ($_POST['clear']) {
    // exec("rm /etc/tinydns/log/main/current");
    // exec("touch /etc/tinydns/log/main/current");
    }

    I connected the previously unplugged WAN interface to the network and now I have zero spamd-setup lines in /etc/crontab.  spamd seems to be running Ok.

    Hm.  I guess the lesson is always to have the WAN interface up when configuring anything.

    One doubt.

    In file /etc/inc/filter.inc and the code:

    if (is_package_installed('squid') && file_exists('/usr/local/pkg/squid.inc')) { require_once('squid.inc'); $natrules .= squid_generate_rules('nat'); }

    Whats happys if the file squid.inc is empty? the function squid_generate_rules('nat') will not work.

    I have install squid and disconnected WAN interface of the Internet, reboot. During the boot, I see this error and nothing work again.

    Just to clarify, you have two network cards operating on those networks, Lan, and lan2-opt1 correct?  I will also throw in that before the major revision to the squid package it was binding to 127.0.0.1, I don't know if that is the case now.

    That was totally over my head… I've been using pfsense for some time now, but anything outside of the normal interface is beyond me. I would really like to have upnp set up and working but it isn't critical. If you have any other simple or very detailed ideas they are more then welcome I would be more then happy to try them...

    …nearly there...

    [Downloading and Installing the Developers ISO went fine. I'd no idea that, on initial boots, downloading all the Source, etc, takes very many hours, and MAKE INDEX takes an hour or 2 also!! I made one possibly nasty error with GREP, as noted in another thread]

    Anyway, on the MAKE INSTALL, it downloads the sources, and compiles, and flashes up a massive amount of progress messages, but ends with: "Error Code 1". Whatever that means… Dang. The associated messages suggest running
      - make deinstall && make reinstall, or
      - setting FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in the Env, or
      - setting this in the make install command-line.

    Any advice welcome. Perhaps just "make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER", but I don't want to make things worse!

    Separate interesting point:
      - BandWidthD DID create the INDEX files when I ran it for the first time. Looked only beautiful!
      - BUT... next time around, which was only a few minutes later (default config parms, generally), the INDEX.HTML was set to a size of 0, and the other 3 INDEX files were still OK (not refreshed yet).
      - Then, 1 hour later, the INDEX2.HTML file was set to 0. The other 2 were still OK.
      - presumably, when its time to refresh the others, they'll be duly clobbered.
      - I believe I did not do anything very major with the entire system, apart from installing Midnight-Commander.

    I dearly hope this info rings a bell with someone... I doubt if tweaking the code will readily identify why the code sometimes creates the files, and sometimes does not...

    I could try removing BandWidthD, clearing out the files, and re-installing, etc...

    Thanks again...

    cd /var/db/pkg && pkg_delete -r ls | grep mc

    In the course of experimenting with getting MC running, I ran the above command, but ended it with "GREP M" (instead of "GREP MC"!)

    I may have deleted other M* packages!

    I would greatly appreciate if anyone could post a list of all the "M*" entries in /var/db/pkg (if any!), in the standard Developers edition.

    Thank you.

    I have found it.

    To add extra parameters to squid.conf, you have to edit /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc
