    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.

    @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.

    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?

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection.

    If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application?

    Thanks.

    Well, if the rule itself is hard-coded, then you are not protected unless you manually change the rule.  If the rule, for example, said something like $FTP_PORTS instead of "21", then you would be protected.  Unfortunately we are somewhat at the mercy of the rule writers from both Emerging Threats and Snort VRT.

    So it sounds like in your particular case, you might be better off using the default FTP port instead of an alternate one.  The only other fix I can think of would be to manually edit the affected rules, but then at the next rules update you would have to do it again.

    I'm having issues with sarg reports too. Also my realtime view stopped working since i updated to the latest 2.1 beta yesterday. I was on 2.0.2 before and at least the realtime view was working. but now with 2.1 beta i can get havp + squid working, so I think there's some tweaking for the realtime view to work again with taht new configuration, not sure.

    I just confirmed - the alarm FAILS to trigger a filter update for ANY time crossing even though the SquidGuard log shows that the alarms are being calculated:

    @rubic:

    @jimp:

    That may be a completely separate error from this.

    I think the error is this commit related. While Quagga OSPF 0.99.20.1 v0.5.0 works fine in my production environment, in my fresh test setup with Quagga OSPF 0.99.20.1 v0.5.1 any value in the "Disable Redistribution" field prevents the service to start.

    Ah this way I can try it, too:

    [2.1-BETA1][root@fw1.zws8.local]/root(134): /usr/local/bin/quaggactl start
    There is no such command.
    Error occured during reading below line.
      distribute-list dnr-list out connected

    mmmh… I've tested my patch and it worked with several config modifications/reboots in my test setup... so a little surprising that it's now damaging OSPF package... sorry.

    Without my above fix it works again.

    router ospf   ospf router-id 192.168.6.3   log-adjacency-changes detail   redistribute connected   redistribute static   network 192.168.6.0/24 area 192.168.6.0   distribute-list dnr-list out connected   distribute-list dnr-list out kernel   distribute-list dnr-list out static   access-list dnr-list deny xx.xx.176.0/24   access-list dnr-list permit any

    One problem / unknown difference:
    I have one stable/old pfSense 2.0.1 pair and actual pfSense 2.1-BETA1 pair on other side…
    The stable version didn't redistribute the network:

    I tested before only with BETA versions… and got problems with public routing.
    (1st firewall pair got .1/.2/.3, 2nd fw pair .254/.253/.252)
    Because without this "Disable Redistribution" of this public network the firewalls didn't saw itselfes and therefore shutting down their gateways.

    ah... different BSD package versions which causes the problem:
    2.0.1        => Hello, this is Quagga (version 0.99.20.1).
    2.1-BETA1 => Hello, this is Quagga (version 0.99.21).

    so please remove my patch… and we must search for other places to patch the behavior in package for 2.1...
    Thanks.

    I have been able to build squid 3.3 on a FreeBSD 8.3 machine and it seems to work ok with a few minor changes.  Even working with squidguard.

    Needed a few things like the ssl-bump-server-first feature and dynamic certificate generation, plus the request_header_add option.

    I've been attempting this http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1668854 but haven't quite managed it yet.

    I built the squid32 port which pulled all the build dependencies then built 3.3.1 from source.

    Thats a good question… It has been a long journey with Snort since it has a lot of problems with PfSense. You helped to make the package significantly better and that helped a lot!

    A fair guess would be after we had the last discussion and I implemented your fixes.

    hi peter, ı think ı have made a mistake in number 4.You should enter your lan subnet as ''source' like 10.0.0.0/24

    and dont forget that ''–--'' means your 'default access' setting (allow or deny) in common acl section, if you set it to 'deny', any '----' in your acl's will mean 'deny'

    here are my settigs that works

    -I have local user uathentication
    -ın common acl all  categories are allowed
    -one group acl for limited (will be blocked) categories for lan subnet 'source' (ex: 10.0.0.0/24)
    -one group acl allowing all categories for unlimited users(in source section like 'user1' 'user2' )  at the top in 'order' section'

    so if the user is defined in unlimited group acl the first rule takes over and he gets all access
    if not second rule takes over and filter rules applied for the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet regardless of username

    NOTE:be sure that clients use proxy (via manuel browser configuraton or wpad)
