    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.

    Morning Everybody

    In France we say "La nuit porte conseil" that looks like "sleep on it"…

    Here is what I did :

    Installed pfSense on an VmWare Esxi to be able to use many servers with a single internet address.

    THANKS to http://blog.romant.net/technology/configuring-nat-on-esx-and-esxi/

    Installed and configured squid3 package in pfSense as I can access 3 differents Centos servers in my virtual network by their URLs

    Transfered a Windows trusted certificate in pfSense to avoid users to get "Exception message" in their browsers ;

    THANKS to http://knowledge.zomers.eu/pfsense/Pages/How-to-use-a-Windows-PFX-certificate-with-pfSense.aspx
    THANKS to http://digfound.blogspot.fr/2012/06/reverse-proxy-ssl-with-pfsense-inc-owa.html

    And of course THANKS to pfSense Team that gives us this awesome product.

    Regards

    Based on my research, the options that work well in this case are 1) Disable UDP tracking in Stream5 2) or define a BPF filter file using a 'config' option called 'bpf_file'. Since disabling UDP tracking altogether may not be desired, I am sticking with BPF. I hope this information helps someone in the future.

    Fix for: $ settings = array ();

    On the one hand, 9 / 10 on the hack-o-meter.  On the other hand, never argue with success.  Thanks!

    It would be good to add "check script …" to the possible monitors.

    It would be good to warn of the aforementioned should the 'forward to' and the 'monitor address' be on the same subnet.

    It would be good to warn if the virtual address isn't among the addresses this system arps for.  I'm assuming that if the address is a carp vip in backup mode the system won't advertise via the load balancer facility that it owns the virtual ip.

    @dbpinggoy:

    @marcelloc:

    I've pushed an update for it with no version change, reinstall package imspector-dev in about 15 minutes and check if it's fixed.

    I got same problem even thhough im running imspector-dev. The log is still empty . All is allowed on access lists..
    Is their any solution for this? Thanks a lot

    I've found the solution for this, when I tried to uncheck the enable on imspector access list. But we got another problem in which our IM (Yahoo messenger) keep on logging out..

    We are using pfsense 2.0..

    Hi Tikimotel, I have followed your instructions and I could create the patch to squidGuard redirectors and another patch to squid configuration to bypass proxy for some sites.

    But I have a question, my patch was correctly applied but I can't put the tab identation in the line. Do you know what character is the tab character to put in the begining of the line?

    Thanks!

    Indeed, there are no "tbz" install files for squid-3.3.8 on:
    http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/ or
    http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/
    squid-3.3.8 pbi files are there, so the install should work from a 2.1-RC0 system, which uses "pbi". But it won't work from 2.0.3 which needs the "tbz" format install files.
    The previous squid-3.3.5.tbz files are there in both folders.
    Hopefully a squid maintaining person will notice this soon and put the files in place!

    A transparent squid proxy would only catch HTTP traffic, nothing else. It could be using HTTPS, or a port that isn't HTTP at all inside the client.

    Isolate a machine running spotify and check the state table and/or packet captures of that system's traffic, see what it is and where it's going.

    @slagr:

    Is there any reason why alias with URL type could not be used in snort  whitelists ?

    Well, at the moment the Snort code is only expecting hosts or networks.  I can look at including URLs in the update I'm working on.

    Hi,

    if you modify anything on .conf files it will be overwritten.
    You need to change this in the following two files:

    /usr/local/pkg/squidguard.inc /usr/local/pkg/squidguard_configuration.inc

    Further I had some problems in the past to get the sgerror.php page displayed correctly if I have the pfsense webGUI running on https.
    So probably best would be to first change the .inc file and /or then try without pfsense webGUI on HTTPS but5 revert - for testing - back to http.
