    @aGeekhere They just release Squid 7 and it is stable if you want to check it out

    "The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability
    of the Squid-7.1 release!

    This release is, we believe, stable enough for general production use.
    We encourage all users of any previous major version of Squid to upgrade to it,
    as well as users of beta version 7.0.X.

    It can be downloaded from GitHub, at
    https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases/tag/SQUID_7_1

    Since version 6, Squid offers:

    better support for overlapping IP ranges and wildcard domains in acl countless security, portability, and documentation fixes

    Since version 6, some previously deprecated features have been removed:

    Edge Side Includes (ESI) access to the cache manager using the cache_object:// scheme - use
    http instead the squdclient tool - use curl
    http://<squid-address>/squid-internal-mgr/menu instead the cachemgr.cgi tool the purge tool - use the http PURGE method instead Ident protocol support basic_smb_lm_auth and ntlm_smb_lm_auth helpers - use Samba's
    ntlm_auth instead

    Further details can be found in the release notes and in the changelog

    Please remember to run "squid -k parse" when testing the upgrade to a new
    version of Squid. It will audit your configuration files and report
    any identifiable issues the new release will have in your installation
    before you "press go".

    If you encounter any issues with this release please file a bug report at
    https://bugs.squid-cache.org/

    I am having issues with this right now

    "I got as far as this with the make clean install no matter what I do I can’t get this package installed. I have tried pkg install heimdal same error after install and pkg install krb5 and pkg install krb5-devel. I don’t know what I am doing wrong it does the make clean for a while and crashes for the bootstrap version the other one I could get going

    it gets so far along and fails with this error.

    I saw where the Netgate kernel developer updated the Suricata package in the pfSense 25.07 development branch to work with the new kernel PPPoE driver. But so far as I know that updated package has not been migrated to 2.8 CE.

    Here is the commit into the DEVEL branch: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/68a06b3a33c690042b61fb4ccfe96f3138e83b72.

    @Laxarus This worked for me as well. Though I had to search the web how to edit the file (the easiest way).

    Therefore:

    Addition for anyone struggling to find where to edit files on your pfsense system.

    Go to Diagnostics --> Edit File --> insert the location of the file:

    /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.sh

    Go to line number 1232 by filling it in the Go to line field.

    That line should read:

    s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${masterfile})"

    replace only (leave the rest intact):

    masterfile

    to

    mastercat

    Then follow the above instructions from @Laxarus https://forum.netgate.com/post/1219635

    https://help.zerossl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060119933-Certificate-Revocation

    edit: oh you prob out of luck

    You can revoke any certificate issued via the ZeroSSL portal. Currently, certificates issued via ACME can not be revoked from inside the portal - please follow the instructions of your ACME client for revoking those certificates.

    the gui in pfsense does not have the ability to revoke - you prob have to move the certs to something you have certbot installed to and revoke that way.

    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.

    We have a very basic configuration between three locations. All are running Netgate firewalls (1x 4100, 1x 6100 & 1x 4200). All are on the latest firmware (03.00.00.01-2Ct-uc-15) and system versions (24.11-RELEASE).

    The local subnets are as follows:
    4100 - 192.168.5.0/24
    4200 - 192.168.4.0/24
    6100 - 192.168.1.0/24

    The VPN traffic between the 4100 and 4200 is functioning 100% as expected

    The traffic between 6100 and the 4100 works going from the 4100 subnet (192.168.5.0/24) to the 6100 subnet (192.168.1.0/24)

    Traffic from the firewall (i.e. the 6100 device) to the 4100 subnet works (i.e. I can ping any device on the 192.168.5.0/24 subnet from the 6100 firewall) but I cannot ping any device on the 4100 (192.168.5.0/24) subnet from any device on the 6100 subnet (192.168.1.0/24) - other than from the firewall itself.

    All routes are correct, but it seems that traffic from the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet hits the firewall and then gets lost - traceroute shows that it goes off into the internet.

    Note too that the 6100 has IPsec VPN configured on it as well

    Suggestions would be appreciated

    @patient0 Yes, have followed that guide and infact have set up quite a few Wireguard tunnels before with no issue. The difference this time is the CGNAT. I am pretty sure its some quirk of the CGNAT that is causing this but still unsure how to diagnose.

    My firewall settings on the tunnel interfaces are correct I think and are the same as I normally use, there is no blockage there.

    Yeah, I invested heavily in php related source material over the holiday and I highly recommend the Core PHP book.  I know most of the same material is available online, but its sometimes nice to just sit down and go over a chapter and maybe learn a few new ways of doing things or to bone up on the minutia of a particular function.

    ntop package seems particularly buggy at the moment. I have problem acessing it occasionally and to fix it I have to go into ntop settings from PFsense and click on the LAN then click change.  Which seems to reset all the stats even though it was already monitoring that.  And then the password you set doesn't even work when you get into Ntop.

    Plus heaps of other stuff.  It's hardly worth using,  it used to work better back in .90a.

    I would just wait till after release once someone has done some work on it before trying it again.

    There is not a howto atm.  You're best bet is to check out:

    http://cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/pkg_config.xml <– Master package manifest

    And individual packages themselves:

    I assume it was loging stats for ALL hosts,  for example it was logging every ip/website statistics anyone visited.  It is anoying when all I want is the LAN ips logged with some basic stats stored like total MB sent/recieved.  But for some reason it is no longer giving me the number value beside the graphs either I just get the graphs.

    Sort given up on ntop.

    @sharingzee:

    This is a feature available in Monowall, but not in pfSense. It is the "Mask", which applies the shaper's children pipes individually to each destination and source IP in the LAN.

    It's something imprescindible when using pfSense to evenly share an Internet connection.

    Att, SharingZee.

    PF + Dummynet (m0n0walls shaper) do not work at all together.  When you try to queue something with dummynet ALL traffic comes to a halt.

    This is a huge PFIL hooks freebsd issue and will be a lot of work to get it working.

    Thanks

    @ffugita:

    hum… how I do this? Any docs?

    use the freebsd ports documentation, however, as someone already said… it can be a disaster  ;D

    the problem is: how integrate ports into pfsense?  ??? :o

    I want some more packages into my pfsense (ie: mysql server), but… how?  ???

    Again, it's not supported.  This means nobody is going to hold your hand to make this work.

    So … I guess that "in the real world" nobody figured out how to make this PKG working! I think it should be marked as broken. If anyone has suggestion I will be more than happy to test them on my box.

    It's been marked broken for over a week!

    @charles.regan:

    plugins –> rrdplugins --> Data to Dump --> select Host --> save settings!

    Yeh I tried that.  Didn't work. Reinstalled clean without restoring configuration and it works now.

    Although now it only has graphs.  It used to show a total beside the graphs but that is gone in the new version.  Anyone know how to enable the totals or what numbers on the graph now represent the totals.  The graphs really arn't so easy to read aye.

    Neat!
    That's one of the things that really turned me on to pfSense project.
    Even though pfSense will never allow for such packages to be installed on the "main box" (aka firewall/router) it will be wonderfull to see an "alternate 1 box" or an "alternate 2 box" running packages such as IDS, Antivirus, soft PBX, etc… but all that inside a wonderfull GUI.
    I'm loving this :D.
    Cheers

    AdZapper is a neat little redirector for Squid.  Unfortunately squid only supports the use of only one redirector at a time.  There is a perl script called zapchain that lets you chain multiple redirectors but its not especially well written and certainly not speedy.  A debatably better solution would be to maintain a block list of the various adservers (there are lots of places to find these lits online) as an ACL in your squid.conf.  This approach has its own drawbacks as well, so consider each.

    Not sure what all will be build into the package, but something that makes trading settings easy (maybe similiar to the backup/restore process to be able to restore different sections of settings)  :)
