    @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

Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system te.g. a /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static into -g -tal. *** Error code 1 Stop. makel1]: stopped in /usr/ports/www/squid *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/www/squid root@free:/usr/ports/www/squid #"

    it gets so far along and fails with this error.

    @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.

    @ahking19 I chose the free version of OPNsense. I had already tested pfsense CE in the past. I had to switch to pfsense+ because the CE version was not compatible with my equipment.

    I didn't want to waste time on that. And in principle, I do not accept the fact that Pfsense+ became chargeable for home use, even though it was announced to be free. the price is excessively expensive…

    Why don't you just disable that rule instead? It is an ET Policy rule. Those are usually used just for notification or to enforce some corporate policy. You've discovered that it is falsely triggering in your network due to the VPN traffic (a false positive), so just disable it. Click the red X under the GID:SID column in the ALERTS tab.

    @bmeeks :
    Ok. So I disabled and unassigned the WAN Sort interface. Then copied it back to the newly unused WAN interface, enabled and started it and...... IT WORKED!!! I'm getting Alerts and its generating blocks as before the upgrade!

    Same name as before, but apparently an internal interface mapping in Snort was still looking for the old WAN interface id.

    Thanks!!!

    @Gertjan Thank you for the reply.

    pfSense is already setup to send notifications.

    So what do I do have the simple command "vmstat -m" run from cron and send an email?

    Never mind. Figured it out. Thank you.

    @dennypage i think that because of the package that can be seen by pfsense and openwrt_b and esphome_dashbord in vlan_iot and openwrt_b can reflect/re-create the package to vlan_server well, there is no problem with the openvpn or firewall rules.

    for now i think i will just use avahi in my openwrt_b.

    Release notes for IDS/IPS package upgrades are usually posted in the IDS/IPS subforum here on the Netgate Forums. Here is a link to the Release Notes post for Snort 4.1.6_15: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/186417/new-snort-package-v4-1-6_15-update-release-notes.

    Since my native (and unfortunately, only) language is English, I post the release notes for both Snort and Suricata in English in the IDS/IPS sub-forum located here: https://forum.netgate.com/category/53/ids-ips.

    @mathais said in speedtest-cli ERROR: Unable to connect to servers to test latency.:

    @Gertjan Thank you, so you removed speedtest-cli ?
    I have openvpn configured on my pfsense and all my IPV4 traffic pass through the VPN .

    All traffic? Even video&music streaming? Why???

    Do you know another tool for testing my internet speed ?

    Saying “internet speed” what EXACTLY You mean: uplink to ISP, between Your pfSense and certain server, between Your device(s) and certain server?

    Check all cables, connected speed on NIC, no collisions and errors on interfaces.
    2.
    SWITCH ON RACK/QUICK congestion control (CC) in FreeBSD.
    3.
    DISABLE OFFLOADING on NICs - nowadays this have no sens.
    4.
    DISABLE POWER MANAGEMENT on motherboard (off CPU Threading, CPU power states, PCI & NICs power mgmt, etc…)
    5.
    only now test by

    Speedtest Fast Librespeed iperf3

    Your UPLINK (of course no any other net activity on pfSense would be).

    After that You have:

    maximum possible on certain moment from Your hardware & FreeBSD drivers; measurements from nearest and far servers (not very accurate because workload time of the day and loading of certain server);

    Better to automate this by Smokeping (on the pfSense device itself) OR Prometheus+Grafana on separate server (but agent on pfSense).
    With alerting on Pushover by API or email.

    @Trey said in FreeRADIUS sync interfaces:

    Hi all,

    the new sync method is synchronising everything from freeradius. This destroyed our freeradius setup in multiple branches, as it overwrote all interfaces and all eap certificates in every sync host. We have about 7 branches with the freeradius deamon running and used the sync to sync only users and NAS/clients.

    Was this change really intended? For me this is more a bug as a feature…

    Could someone clarify this?

    Thanks for your help

    If you used a common CA and Radius certificate (same thumbprint) across the different pfSense boxes, and created only a 127.0.0.1 interface in Radius, would it then not work again?
    You would obviously need to create a NAT rule for ports 1812/1813 on the interfaces where Radius should be present (pointing to 127.0.0.1)

    @viragomann said in Using HAProxy to redirect, but not to load balance:

    But do the printers check the host name at all, or do they only simply listen on IP and port?

    The printers are connected to the Pi with a USB cable. They don't deal with IP at all. What does deal with anything like that is the slicer when I use it to upload to OctoPrint to print, but that's something I expected to have to deal with.

    Sounds like the configuration is pretty much the same as what I had to do on the Pi I was using for printing and shouldn't be too hard.

    Thanks - and thank you for not going into why to just use the names I give each host instead!

    Hi @Gertjan

    Thank you sharing your configuration and suggestions. I'll review my config and carry out more testing with debugging on this weekend. Can I ask, are you authenticating users or devices using username and password in the 'Users' tab, and/or devices with MAC address in the MAC's tab ?

    Thanks,
