    @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

    @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

    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.

    @buggz I second this. It would make things much easier than enabling the FreeBSD repos, if that still even works. I might end up giving it a whirl with one of my internal fws. I've also considered the syslog route but the agent seems like it may provide more info/customization etc.

    Might help someone, I had similar issues, but it turns out my pfsense didn't trust the self signed CA that signed the influxDB cert. Found out by stopping the service:

    ps aux | grep tele kill -9 <PID>

    And then running telegraf manually:

    /usr/local/bin/telegraf -config=/usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf

    Note that the service restart/stop buttons in the web gui did not work for me, only the start button (which shows up after I killed the process)

    While looking for something else I found that I also have similar messages in my syslog. Looking further I found this recommendation for the vnStat package:

    "Every NIC is added on install. So if a NIC is added (or removed) on the firewall, remove the package and install again. If the firewall has data for a NIC vnStat will report the data even if the NIC has been removed.
    A reinstall of the package will not change this as the firewall has data pertaining to the non existent data and thus other packages such as vnstat2 will report the data it has or has found."

    Link: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/traffic-totals.html

    Indeed I changed my hardware and restored the configuration from the old one. Some NICs changed from 1Gb to 10Gb.

    However, after removing and installing the package I see this in the log:

    Monitoring (10): tun_wg0 (1000 Mbit) pppoe1 (1000 Mbit) pfsync0 (1000 Mbit) pflog0 (1000 Mbit) ix1 (10000 Mbit) ix0 (10000 Mbit) igb1 (10 Mbit) igb0 (10 Mbit) enc0 (1000 Mbit) em0 (1000 Mbit)

    And it's incorrect. My pppoe1 sits on ix0 and my fiber speed is 3/3Gbps, so higher than 1000Mbit vnStat thinks. Also igb0 and igb1 are 1000Mbit, not 10Mbit (they are not assigned yet, though).

    I suppose the log messages we see are no more than a minor nuisance but is there a way to assign correct interface speeds for vnStat or disable these messages?

    @Gertjan

    Thank you! I Understand activities use resources, but if we have 50%+ cpu idle, probably not causing a problem? Or is that misleading?

    I have the exact same hardware pfsense firmware/software all with the same speedtest gui in 3 different ISP/locations.

    One location I have ATT Dedicated Fiber (new Install) that basically has zero network load but speed tests are all over the map (and large majority of tests are below the 90% minimums)

    The other 2 locations have a lot of network traffic, have shared fiber and they are much more stable than the ATT dedicated fiber.

    Since I have those three comparisons, I feel that proves the issue is with the ATT Dedicated fiber service. Yes or No / Agree disagree? Thanks!

    @SteveITS said in pfSense Repository down?:

    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html#packages-netgate-com-has-no-a-aaaa-record

    Correct, no A or AAAA record.
    This time SRV records ("server records ?") are looked for.

    This is probably is, I'm just thinking out loud : everything is fine, but DNS isn't. pfSense can't call out for self. Seen that before, and I never understood how people to so. Default 'Netgate' DNS settings work, as I've shown above.

    @dhenzler THANK YOU for posting this!!!!

    I had been fighting this (and losing) for months now but, ran across this thread today and decided to try it out.
    It WORKED!!!
    At first I was more confused because I went to the system update and it showed the version 2.7.2 BUT, didn't give me an option to do the update from 2.7.0.
    I ran the certctl rehash in the Diagnostics/Command Prompt box which then let me access the update.
    And even before I ran the update I tested to see if the package manager would populate the list and, it did!
    And it still works after doing the update! YAY!!!!

    So again, thank you!

    @beechclose FWIW, it turns out the limit isn't number of reflectors, but just the line length. There is a hard coded line length limit of 256 characters for the ini file. It is a known issue.

    I put up a PR to increase this to 1024.

    Help me understand what the risks are here, to me this is nothing more than what an nmap scan would do.

    Ntopng is an autonomous agent, whereas nmap is not. Consider that. You should look at the ntopng code and decide for your self. The best I can tell you is that I have, and I recommend against enabling it.

    FWIW, you may have different views on network security that I do.

    Posting rules like doesn't help much to be honest.. Have no clue to what could be above that making those moot..

    Are those on the same interface even? You have 2 rules with vlan2 subnets as source, and another rule with vlan1 as source.. How would both networks be source into the same interface?

    Seems you got it sorted so that is good, but next time you need help a picture of your rules showing the interface they are on, etc. is worth 10k words..

    @kaioh84

    Hey guys,

    Some time ago, I encountered the same issue. To resolve it, I installed "awscli" using Python version 3.11.

    To fix this, you need to install the package with the following command:
    pkg install py311-setuptools-63.1.0_1

    After that, apply the "rehash" command. Follow these steps:
    rehash

    Then, execute the following command to install awscli:
    python3.11 -m pip install awscli

    That's it! Now, it should be configured as you desire. In my case, I configured it for the s3 bucket.
    These steps were executed on Pfsense 2.7.2 running version 14 of FreeBSD.
