    We installed haproxy on Netgate 8200 device 25.07.1-RELEASE (amd64) installed acme certificates and get certificate from letsencrypt, everything ok. checked ssl offload in frontend and selected the acme generated certificate under SSL Offloading. result after Apply Changes: Errors found while starting haproxy [NOTICE] (72045) : haproxy version is 2.9.14-7c591d5 [NOTICE] (72045) : path to executable is /usr/local/sbin/haproxy [ALERT] (72045) : config : Couldn't open the ca-file '/var/etc/haproxy_test/clientca_WAN_117.pem' (No such file or directory).

    @Greyhat I think it's useful to work with what we've got and figure something out for the (i hope) edge cases later. So for the JSON I figured you can actually use an existing suricata integration by co-opting their pipelines.

    @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 Docker container for nut server?: I am NOT installing docker in pfsense - offcourse this is a big security risk - I agree !!! My apologies. I interpreted your earlier question I think i need to explain what i am asking for. I am fully aware if your netgate router is attached to an UPS you can configure netgate. Let us say you 5 UPS's in your home and you want nut server to read all the UPS's and show me a dasboard about the status of all the UPS's ? - Is there a ready made docker container for client server nut with dashboard functionality? as a request to have something running on pfSense, which is why I responded I believe most people would say that the type of thing you are asking for isn't something you want to run on your firewall. I recommend using a general purpose operating system behind the firewall instead. Mutual misunderstanding I guess. If you want to explore general NUT monitoring, and not something particular to pfSense, I would recommend the NUT Users list as a better place to seek information.

    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 ?

    @Vad-B Interesting indeed! I just tried to fill the Pre-authentication Key with file:/dev/null. I get an crash in pfsense after some time, but when I login again is saved. For me this for after service restarts at least this solves it, including the issue with the routes not being advertised even set in the WebUI. Havent done an full restart of pfsense (yet)

    Hello, I’m wondering if it’s possible to have a private vpn wireguard server on pfsense and to also have a personal wireguard server such that friends can link to your pfsense network but also be under the private vpn, nordvpn for example. Is that possible to with routing?

    No.  I have gone over many times why dummynet shaping will not work with pf.  Please search the forum. Hint: its a freebsd bug.

    That's some odd problem with having virtual/isp-routed set up in pfsense. I was able to ping pfsense via the web-gui PING only when choosing LAN interface. I didn't receive response when pinging via WAN interface (!?). As I've generally had hard times with setting up multiple ip's, I'll be looking into it if it's expected behaviour or some quirk.

    mostly happens when your cfg is not complete or any mandatory options are not set… please check your gui for all necessary options and then hit save, start manually and after a reboot it should work... after a fresh install of the packages you have to hit save to create the cfg's... because of your snort-problem, too it sounds like it have should work then... Install pfSense Install Packages Configure Packages and hit save reboot pfsense -> should work... ?

    Thanks for the report.  This is mostly due to squid not being configured as of yet.  However it needs to be fixed.  I'll fix it soon.

    does it really hard to implement a package for PFsense that would gather and count users trafic statistics and block them or rule-based basis? i remember, somewhere on this site i have read something like "pfsense is for those, who dont need to know how it works, but understand what is he/she wants"

    Squid package requests : Support for URL RegExp ACLs, so that we can block dangerous file extensions and such. Support for any type of ACL's? maybe just have a 'add an acl' dialog =) Filtering mime types would be nice, but only very recent versions of squid offer this … this is a must in cases like JPEG vulnerabilities or massive worm outbreaks Squid log analysis/tracking package. Web usage by IP address (bandwidth/hits/history?) This may seem to be a big bigbrotherly to some, but there is definately a demand for tighter control in corporate environments. If none of them possible at the moment, what about a 'squid configuration editor' tool that would just open the 'text' version of the configuration? I would find this more confortable than having to hardcore rules in the config.xml file. Just ideas ... Thanks for the great work - -G
