    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?

    I saw where the Netgate kernel developer updated the Suricata package in the pfSense 25.07 development branch to work with the new kernel PPPoE driver. But so far as I know that updated package has not been migrated to 2.8 CE.

    Here is the commit into the DEVEL branch: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/68a06b3a33c690042b61fb4ccfe96f3138e83b72.

    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.

    @fxandrei Found this thread via Google. And I figured out what OP did, so here's the explanation:

    In the pfSense webpage do:

    Click on "Services" Select "Acme Certificates" Edit any of your certificate entries by clicking on the pencil icon. Scroll to the bottom of the certificate edit page and find the "Actions list" section. Click on "Add" to add a new action and fill out the information as needed. For HAProxy restarting do: Mode: Enabled Command: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/haproxy.sh restart Method: Shell Command And finally "Save" at the bottom of the cert edit page.

    As far as I can tell, the above action seems to propagate to all certificates that I have, not just a single one. I am not sure if this is just a visual bug, but just something to be aware of.

    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.

    Hopefully this helps you and anyone else that finds this thread via searching.

    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.

    @nassman:

    how to solve it??

    Read this:
    http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/redirector_bypass/
    squid will crash if all redirectors are busy but does not allow anyone to bypass squid if it is set ton "on".
    if it is set to "off" then the users will bypass the squid proxy but it will not crash.

    Increase the redirect_children to a larger number - lets say 25 or 50.
    You can do this permanent in squidguard_configurator.inc file.

    Before this check the "cache.log" file of squid. The will be probably something called "all redirectors are busy" or something about the queue length.

    CVhecvk this, too:

    I don't recall seeing anyone say that it worked on 2.0.x, but I recall a few people saying it didn't.

    The package was written for 1.2.x, it could probably use rewritten/updated for 2.x, but that would require someone that knows stunnel to do it.

    If it's important enough, you might consider starting a bounty to see if someone can try to fix it up.

    You can fix the IP with dhcp options (service /dhcp/mac adress)

    After create an acl under squidguard, and configure it to allow/deny.
    ACL can be an IP or a range of IP

    guac is a proxy (much like squid)
    you simply point your browser at guac and you are confronted with a logon page. depending on how you have configured the mappings, depends on what you are confronted with.
    to point your browser at gauc from external, you will need to create a A record or use your public ip and open up either 80 or 443 and point it to the guac server.
    alternatively, you can use squid and map to guac.

    oh shit lol I didn'tk now that, I have created a basic list with suppress command in the list. :D but that would also be useful to work on other snort GUI just in case the add option wasn't available.

    This server has a high load too, around 10.000 messages per day. Tonight I'll undo my workaround and try to collect some logs for you (can't do it during workhours).

    I didn't find any clues on the log the last time. I verified the error using telnet: with postscreen enable I didn't get the helo message on the internal NIC and whit it disabled I didin't get the helo message on the external NIC.
