    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.

    https://help.zerossl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060119933-Certificate-Revocation

    edit: oh you prob out of luck

    You can revoke any certificate issued via the ZeroSSL portal. Currently, certificates issued via ACME can not be revoked from inside the portal - please follow the instructions of your ACME client for revoking those certificates.

    the gui in pfsense does not have the ability to revoke - you prob have to move the certs to something you have certbot installed to and revoke that way.

    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.

    i did a backup/restore, and erased lines about "!blk_blacklists_adult !blk_blacklist_porn all"
    in xml config file.

    It worked, but problem still remain intact : target rules are read-only, i can't save any modification.

    I have settled on Squid3 as an optional proxy on our net. The results are promising but I'm stumped on the configuration. I'd like the Squid cache to revalidate when an object expires without waiting for a client to requested the expired object. Does anyone have a thought about how I can accomplish this?

    …. after the Dansguardian menu and service listing disappears, if I reinstall the GUI component, it looks like it makes those two listings appear again.  So far so good.

    First off, that has to be one of the most atrocious file hosting sites in existence… ick.

    I didn't see a line in that file that would have matched it, but it must have been there at the time.

    The number, I believe, is the line number in the file (check /var/db/aliastables/) where the entry was.

    You could probably check with something like:

    head -n 223231 /var/db/aliastables/pfBlockeriblocklist_level1.txt | tail -n 1

    Or fuzz those lines a little bit to see what's before/after that.

    this has been resolved by downloading pfsense 2.0.1 from another site and reinstalling it.

    Perhaps installing the package by GUI
    Uninstall the NUT package with pkg_delete
    Install the package version you need with pkg_add

    There we go… kind of.

    DansGuardian: Listen Interface = LAN, Listen Port = 8080, Proxy IP = (internal IP of pfS), Proxy Port = 3128
    Squid3: Proxy Interface = loopback, Proxy port = 3128, Allow users on interface = checked, Transparent proxy = checked
    NAT:LAN/TCP/LAN net///80 (HTTP)/10.1.1.254/8080

    Then I get filtering via DansGuardian.  However, I don't get updates to the /var/log/dansguardian/access.log  System Logs report:

    dansguardian[48437]: Error connecting via IPC socket to log: Connection refused

    Looking for why.
    EDIT: Changed DG listen interface to include both LAN and Loopback and proxy IP back to 127.0.0.1, changed the NAT from (LAN pfS IP) to 127.0.0.1 and everything works.
