    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.

  • 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?

    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.

    I think experts need some more information about my installation.

    It's a Xeon based server. I also installed Squid (not in transparent mode) and working well. Is squid causing problem with Freeradius ?

    On pfSense, the major pieces of Snort are in:

    /usr/local/bin/
    /usr/local/lib/snort/
    /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_xxxxx  (where xxxxx is a random UUID followed by the physical interface name such as em0 for Intel nics)

    @T-Monster:

    I have been looking at these 2 packages recently too…

    To cut a very long story short, as marcelloc says:

    @marcelloc:

    Reinstall squid3 after squidguard install. Squidguard package to pfsense is compiled to depend on squid2.

    After getting squid3 running with squidguard, check dnsv4first dns option on gui to prevent some https issues.

    What doesn't help, is that the pfSense wiki says to do it the "wrong" way around:
    http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/SquidGuard_package

    ::)

    Anyway, now that I've found this thread (and a couple others where marcelloc says the same thing), it's all working for me (at last!)

    It is not the wrong way around - it depends on the version of squid and the version of pfsense.
    I updated the wiki so hopefully this will help others in the future.

    It is "normal" that packages restart several times on bootup. This is because some packages need to restart if interfaces are changing or firewall rules. On bootup there is so much which will be configured so that restarts are not a problem.

    So my question is:
    What does not work ?
    What error do you mean exactly to be an "error" ?

    I'm not an expert, but Since no one else has answered…..

    I would try just making a map for the host name.  ie, leave the /rdweb off.

    I don't have any easy way to test this, but I would bet that the URL getting passed is either "/" or "/rdweb/rdweb"

    Nacht thanks for all your help you are awesome!!

    I tried those changes in the detail file and it doesn't help me too much as it just generates new files. What i need is to flush the files as to avoid having such a large log sizes.

    I managed this with a simple cron job every week to delete all the detail files in /var/log/radacct/IP-Address/ this works for what i need and it's great.

    I have another question- Is there a way to set timeouts on individual users? I know there is the session-timeout that will force them to re-login at the specific time set. I was looking for something like an idle timeout per user instead of a global one in the CP page.

    Also i have done the testing as you said earlier and all signs look great! I have a USERS file with 25K Lines and the users are authenticated very quickly! Alot faster than what i expected. I haven't seen any performace issues with this. I always have approx 30-40 simultaneous connections at this current site and everything works great. I am now deploying to 2 other sites and will post the results from those. They will have heavier usage than the current one.

    Thanks for the reply - I've been away in the mountains for a few days and had to put this problem to one side.

    When I bind squid to loopback, I immediately lose all contact with the web configurator and the internet. The only way to get things working again is to manually edit squid.conf back to my LAN address, and restart squid.

    What is going on here? Am I missing something?

    In your response you state:

    "under the outbound tab the redirect should be any source your network range, port any , destination any, port 80 redirect ip 127.0.0.1 whatever port you have squid running on"

    Which outbound tab are you referring to ?

    Sorry to reply to this thread. But I think my question is closely related.

    Do we have to add A record or CNAME in our domain name provider before using reverse proxy?

    Thanks

    Took me some time to figure it out myself - couldn't find anything on the web. At least now it can be found on the web  ;)
    Is it a bug? I thought that classtype is not mandatory. Actually all goes well until snort try to output to the alert log.
