    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?

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection.

    If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application?

    Thanks.

    Your suppression should look like this;

    suppress gen_id 119, sig_id 2
    suppress gen_id 119, sig_id 4

    I had a similar issue - what fixed it it was Services / Snort / Global Settings / Reset button.

    I had to reconfig Snort, but everything works great now.  Just fantastic; love this package.

    @jimp:

    It's a regex, iirc, so for "any number of characters (or none)" use .*, not *

    So try this:

    example.com/.*/w4m

    Thank you; I'll will try that.

    Since I posted, I was able to install squidGuard and compose a Destination List;
    by following the instructions on the squidGuard Quick Start page http://diskatel.narod.ru/sgquick.htm.

    That allowed me to selectively block just the dating and inappropriate portions of Craigslist.

    I do have Shalla's Blacklist installed, but it's 'hard coded' for just one or two Craigslist cities.

    I'll try your wildcard syntax and see if it works with a squidGuard destination list.  Right now, my Dest List uses a long set of URLs and I'll have to add another one for each additional city.  If your suggestion works there as well, the same URL set will work for every Craigslist city.  I'd forward the entries to Shalla SS; for integration into his list.

    I'll also be using your syntax, where I originally intended.  Don't know for what, but something will pop up soon enough.

    Your response is appreciated.

    Try This:

    Let your squid listen on Optional Interface in Non Transparent Mode. Just forward all the http traffic from LAN interface to Optional Interface where your squid is listening (Default 3128). Since Your Squid is not going be in Transparent Mode you can Enable Authentication.

    Looks like the problem is not python. From the FAQ Denyhosts was written for 2.3 and 2.4.

    This might help someone but I don't use it because VPNs are a we bit safer  ;)

    DenyHosts requires Python v2.3 or later. If you are using an earlier version of Python then you should install a newer version of Python on your system. Multiple versions of Python can safely co-exist on your server so you do not need to worry about breaking any dependencies. You should obtain the latest version of Python and install it on your system. Depending on the method of download, your latest Python executable is typically installed in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin.
    If you downloaded version Python v2.3, then the executable is python2.3. If you downloaded Python v2.4 then the executable is python2.4.

    If you will be using DenyHosts in daemon mode, then you will need to edit the daemon-control-dist script. You will want to copy this file to "daemon-control" such that future DenyHosts upgrades will preserve your edits.

    $ cp daemon-control-dist daemon-control

    Assuming you installed Python v2.4 and the executable is in /usr/bin then you will need to make the following changes to your daemon-control script:

    Line # From To
    1 #!/usr/bin/env python #!/usr/bin/python2.4
    18 PYTHON_BIN = "/usr/bin/env python" PYTHON_BIN = "/usr/bin/python2.4"
    You may need to modify the above paths to reflect the actual installation location and version of Python that you installed.

    If you are not using DenyHosts in daemon mode then to execute DenyHosts you would do the following:

    $ python2.4 denyhosts … args...

    -or-

    $ python2.3 denyhosts ... args...

    @rds_correia:

    Question: shouldn't all other packages have a similar feature in case something breaks from one version of pkg to another version of pkg?
    Regards.

    All other packages automatically keep all of their settings by default, they are not deleted. Snort is the only package the removes its settings and gives the option to save them. IMHO, that should be reversed so they are kept by default with the option to delete them, or just reverse the behavior and remove the option entirely so they are always kept and never deleted.

    I just wanted to see where this issue is at on maybe a fix. Because everytime SNORT gets an update as it should, it will disable rules I enabled, and it will enable rules I disabled. Take for instance when using ICMP rules, I don't want to block ICMP ping, because this will block almost everything on the Internet and gets very annoying when using certain categories. I find myself saying the heck with it and simply disable the whole category list of rules just for the sake of a few rules causing issues everytime SNORT gets updates.

    This is making the package hard to work with when you have to redo all your setting manually after every update.

    Thanks for any help.
