    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?

  • Discussions about WireGuard

    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.

    You don't need that even. IIRC you can use the built-in IGMP proxy to carry UPnP's multicast from one segment to another.

    @dhatz:

    I don't know the scale of your caching proxy (10 users, 100 users, 500 users etc), but for any "busy" system I'd be inclined to split the proxy functionality into a separate system, properly tuned (kernel & fs) for the task.

    I would say between 20-25 constant users. They will fluctuate to the 30's with other devices syncing in every now and then. ..I was able to achieve some stability yesterday. I did a few updates along with reboots. I noticed that I get an error page on forums (no route). I am not on site right now so I cant tell exactly the message. I am beginning to think that I am having connection errors. Thanks!!

    @virtualliquid:

    ok, what would be a good voip providor to use? That has integration and is free if possible.

    It all depends on where you are and if you need a DID

    Have a look at the betamax clones here: http://progx.ch/home-voip-prixbetamax-3-1-2.html
    Prices are very low, quality not premium but for that amount most of the times good enough.

    Ah, that isn't what they were asking though - they were asking how to make it a pfSense package, not how to log from pfSense to ELSA.

    I imagine since it's all syslog based there wouldn't be anything to that except for pointing your syslog settings at the ELSA server.

    Zabbix to monitor site to site links openvpn

    Hiya,

    Thanks for the reply and I hope you could assist me a bit further.

    Here is my setup

    zabbix server                pfsense main firewall                        pfsense another site
    192.168.0.31                    192.168.0.251 (Local)                        192.168.20.250(local)
                                    192.168.23.251 ( different vlans)            this is linked to 192.168.23.0/24 vlan

    There are multiple vlans on the main firewall some connection to other remote pfsense firewalls.

    So my question is on the remote pfsense, I install the zabbix client.
    In the client  setting, I will put the following :

    server:192.168.20.251
    server Active:192.168.20.251:10050
    Hostname:(name of firewall)
    Listen IP:0.0.0.0
    listen port:10050
    refresh active checks:120
    timeout:3
    buffer send:5
    buffer size:100
    start agents:3

    On the main pfsense install the settings for the proxy is :

    Proxy settings

    server:192.168.0.31
    server port:10051
    hostname:(Proxyname)
    Mode Active: yes
    config frequency:3600

    On the Zabbix server I created a proxy called (Proxyname) and then added the remote pfsense as a client but I do not get any results.

    On the remote pfsense agent logs is as follows:

    6469:20130211:090609.894 Got signal [signal:15(SIGTERM),sender_pid:55456,sender_uid:0,reason:65537]. Exiting …
