    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.

    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.

    @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.

    @periko:

    I had read a lot of docs but, is working, but is not counting the time right.

    Someone here has this setting working?

    Thanks!!!

    You could try running freeradius in debug mode from console with "radiusd -X" and then pay attention on the accounting packets.
    The CP must send the time attribute to the RADIUS server and it must be sent for the correct user.

    CP is sending accounting packets every minute so the time must only increase by 60 seconds.

    Perhaps you can try with pfsense 2.1 an compare if CP is working better with the newer code.

    If squid is running in transparent mode and the website is httpS then you cannot block it.
    If it is httpS you have to run squid in non-transparent mode.

    SquidGuard can only block what squid is seeing.

    To make sure your config works in general just block a simple webpage with http and test.

    You can see what IP's have talked to what IP's, but if you want more detail than that your best option is to setup squid as a transparent proxy, and then use LightSquid and/or SARG which will geerate some pretty detailed reports of what computers/IP's have accessed what web sites, and will give exact URL's and whatnot.

    Thanks for the info igor I had figured by upgrading (which deinstalls) this would do the same.

    Tried uninstalling, rebooting, and then installing again and so far my interface has remained up! :)

    I will keep in an eye on it over the next while but looks like that did solve it.

    Cheers!

    @randy7:

    Hello fellow command to delete the cache of squid full.thanks.

    the same way you do on any linux/unix squid server.

    stop the service, rm -rf on squid cache dir (default on pfsense to /var/squid/cache)

    start squid.

    You can add all the options you need by hand using the "custom options" box.
    So if you need just a part of an option the GUI offers then enable it on the GUI, check the "squid.conf" file for the syntax you need and then go to GUI again, disable it there and add the part you need by hand in the "custom options" box. The GUI ist just a helper :-)

    The WhiteList don't works for me too. Neither with networks or single IP adress.
    I'm using PFSense 2.0.1 with Snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v.2.5.1.

    After some days searching for solution I found a workaround that worked for me.
    Add in Suppress List the networks in CIDR notation like that (example with 3 networks in supress list working as WhiteList):

    suppress gen_id 0, sig_id 0, track by_src, ip [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/29,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/28,zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz/28]

    Thanks, and sorry about originally posting in the wrong area.

    Can you explain a little more or point me in the direction of where to look?  Is there any possibility of modifying the action to redirect the user to a remediation page or drop only the P2P traffic?  If we wanted to pay for support hours to cover the cost of developing this feature, how many hours would you estimate?

    my wpad file looks like that as i don't want proxy for local and vpn servers

    maybe this can help you

    function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { // If IP address is internal or hostname resolves to internal IP, send direct.        var resolved_ip = dnsResolve(host);        if (isInNet(resolved_ip, "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0") ||                isInNet(resolved_ip, "172.16.0.0",  "255.240.0.0") ||                isInNet(resolved_ip, "192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0") ||                isInNet(resolved_ip, "127.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))                return "DIRECT";        return "PROXY proxy.domain.lan:3128; DIRECT"; }

    maybe you could also check the webserver logs to see if your hosts grab the wpad file
