    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.

    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.

    @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?

    @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.

    @cjbujold:

    no I have not set  the pfsense gui port to anything else but what is the default  port 80 & 443

    So, change it and disable automatic redirect rule on system advanced

    @cjbujold:

    What does the ^http://www.mydomain.com/.$  format provide more than the HTTP://accrahelpdesk.accra.ca ?  Should I use it  like this ^http://accrahelpdesk.accra.ca/.$  instead of the straight URL?

    You can use any combination, my suggestion is:
    ^http://accrahelpdesk.accra.ca/ or just accrahelpdesk.accra.ca

    @cjbujold:

    Nothing is showing in the Real time tab (log) I am presuming nothing is getting caught since I am not being redirected.

    Did you enabled squid logs on proxy server config?

    The args are just to limit lines to read, in some cases(large files) it fixes sarg erros while report generation.

    Thanks for the explanation.  I too have encountered this issue.  The GREP and PKILL commands seem to work in the short term.  Is there a more automated method to accomplish this task?

    Makes me wish I had never updated snort in the first place.  Snort has become a mess over the past 30 days.  Is there any resolution to this multiple snort instance issue in sight?

    These would need to go in Proxy Server:General Settings, Custom Options.
    But my question is, these are options that control how Squid itself caches 403, 404 messages and DNS results that worked or failed recently.
    But we want to try and convince the browser on the user's computer not to cache this stuff.
    So how would that work?

    Hi,

    Thank you, it works fine.

    Your screenshot shows virusscanner description, are you sure you have configured it on right place?

    I configured the virusscanner and not url and sites, I must be blind …

    Hi Marcello, thnx for the answer.

    Yeah, all the sync proccess was perfect, the real problem was that squid can´t be restarted after the configuration change (the backup machina had all the info from the main but you get an error while trying to save the config).

    Changing the line 1078 makes the trick and now everything go as planned.

    Thnx again.

    I have not noticed any problem with rule timings, I used this feature regularly with 2.0 and have just started testing on 2.0.1
    However, I did find that an ip address will be ignored if used as an expression in a Target Category, so that´s why my regex didn't work. Need to do some more reading…

    @JustinTime:

    @jimp:

    Try to remove and reinstall again, I uploaded a new build of the i386 snort package a couple hours ago, it may be fixed now.

    That worked for me, too, and now I am able to start the snort service with blocking mode enabled.  However, stopping the snort interface in the snort gui does not stop the service, and starting it again starts a new service.  Please post a note here when this has been fixed.

    Thanks so much for providing the Snort package!!  I've been using it for a couple years now and have been very pleased with it.

    See this post:
    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,50758.0.html

    I started this thread for the problem with the snort service not quitting for a restart, but starting a new one anyways.  I think everyone is having this issue since the latest version came out.

    Indeed these are questions that belong on a squid forum - you're trying to far exceed the intention of the package - it's not meant to be a gigantic full-blown proxy of such proportions. If it's going to be that large and busy it should be off on its own dedicated box.

    The design and specs of such a system are debatable but a squid forum/list would be a more likely place to get accurate suggestions.

    @rcfa:

    Subject says it all. Not quite clear.. on that..

    It requires postfix installed and working.
