    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.

    Might need the same fixes I had to do for mtr and/or nmap. I thought I checked in a fix for the pkg system in general but I could be misremembering it, as it's been a few weeks since I did all that work.

    Correct, the interface selection control on it is wrong, it needs to only allow one. There are a couple other threads about that.

    I get this error:

    Warning: file_get_contents(/var/log/snort/59183_lagg0/alert): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/snort/snort_alerts.php on line 396

    when I go to the Alerts tab (Services : Snort : Snort Alerts)

    Rules are downloaded successfully, WAN interface is enabled for snort, but it ain't running.

    Any ideas?

    On possibility would be to setup the proxy server address on the clients browser - no matter if squid is running ins transparent mode or not.
    This worked for me in the paste when I tested this.

    The other option could be to set the squid interface IP address as gateway for the openVPN connection in firewall rules. But I am not sure if this will work.

    Sounds like maybe you removed squid before squidguard, which could break that process.

    Reinstall squid, then remove squidguard, then remove squid.

    Maybe on 2.1, but on 2.0 it breaks pfsense php.

    Another point is that postfix gui on pfsense acts just a forwarder, so no local mailboxes.

    Still the same warning in 2.5.0

    squid2 is working without problems on pfsense 2.0.1 in transparent mode.

    what version of pfsense are you using ?
    which squid are you using ?
    did you select you LAN interface on squid GUI and did you select "transparent" on squid ?
    did you enable the firewalol to allow traffic ?

    @ermal:

    Please reinstall again!
    You need a new snort binary for the alerts to be displayed correctly.

    OK - since removing and reinstalling the latest snort package, the alert descriptions have returned to being N/A.  Doesn't appear 10101000's patch has been included within the latest binary unfortunately.  I suppose I can try to reapply his patch once more.  Could you please correct this blank/NA alert description functionality for Blocked IPs in the next build?  Thanks.

    EDIT: I attempted to apply his latest system patch and it doesn't qualify to be applied.
