    Can I use pgblockerng aliases in Haproxy?

    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.

    @lightningbit said in Any mail from the pfsense appliance has "Arpwatch Notification" in the subject line, even when it is from a completely different package:

    I assume this is a bug? or is there another way to fix this?

    The issue is already known, and a solution is in the pipeline : read https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11366

    @drumsergio said in Arpwatch - Telegram notifications:

    https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11972

    There should be a new section on the Arpwatch service page to select whether to send notifications via e-mail or Telegram.

    The destination of notifications is set up here : System > Advanced > Notifications
    Notification can be mailed and/or telegrammed and/or Pushovered (whatever that might be).

    Btw : You can 'have it' right now :
    Edit :
    /usr/local/arpwatch/sendmail_proxy.php

    Close to the last line :
    Replace :

    send_smtp_message($message, "{$config['system']['hostname']}.{$config['system']['domain']} - Arpwatch Notification : {$subject[1]}");

    For :

    $message = $config['system']['hostname']}.{$config['system']['domain']." - Arpwatch Notification : ".$subject[1]." - "; /* or something else - I didn't test with Telegram */ notify_via_telegram($message) ;

    @stephenw10 Yes, I think 5GB is already enough. I will try your solution, but I created a new machine in VirtualBox and freshly installed Pfsense there, and it works perfectly. All specs are the same, which is weird.

    I use the pfSense Check with SNMP and CheckMK Client at the moment. But I'm trying to figure out, if theres a better way like checks over SSH.

    Very sad, that theres no agent installation over the package manager :(

    What are you trying to accomplish exactly.. Why do you think you should bridge all your networks together?

    Why are you trying to use a tap vpn connection? The only point to such a setup would before allowing for L2 discovery.. Ie broadcast and multicast? Why would you want/need that?

    Do you want to control traffic between your wireless network and your lan?

    @vukuze said in Error node_exporter 0.18.1_1:

    I am not some kind of pfSense guru and my advice may be wrong, but here is my solution of the same problem:

    mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/node_exporter /usr/local/share/pfSense-pkg-node_exporter/node_exporter.sh

    My node_exporter 0.18.1_2 on pfsense 2.5.1 gave me the same could not open error. I used these commands verbatim and after reboot the service started up and the metrics were exposed as expected. Thank you

    Email notifications with apcupsd not sent

    @steveits I have been encountering the same issue and finally digested this setting in /usr/local/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf:

    # The ONBATTERYDELAY is the time in seconds from when a power failure # is detected until we react to it with an onbattery event. # # This means that, apccontrol will be called with the powerout argument # immediately when a power failure is detected. However, the # onbattery argument is passed to apccontrol only after the # ONBATTERYDELAY time. If you don't want to be annoyed by short # powerfailures, make sure that apccontrol powerout does nothing # i.e. comment out the wall. ONBATTERYDELAY 6

    The onbattery condition is immediately logged to the apcupsd event log and syslog, but the email notification is withheld until the ONBATTERYDELAY has transpired to eliminate unnecessary notifications for brief transients. I see that your outages were only on second long, so they would not have satisfied the default 6-second condition.

    If you want to be notified of brief outages, you might create a powerout script in /usr/local/etc/apcupsd/ similar to the onbattery script.

    @whitetiger-it
    You may want to look at MRTG. I'm sure someone has adapted it for UPSs (either APCUPSD or NUT).
    MRTG
    I have a FreeBSD NAS (Xigmanas) which has UPS monitoring that looks a lot like MRTG. Maybe you could spin up a minimal VM with it and monitor that way? The NAS uses NUT to monitor pfSense as slave, which in turn uses APCUPSD to monitor the USB-connected APC on the host... Simple! :/

    Yes, the Google OTP is per user, so it looks like I'll have to create every user twice (not huge effort).

    @skogs yes correct. But I am not doing the 2.6 devel release. The other day a new snapshot nuked my 2.6 devel lab install. It is absurd that this is still not fixed. Luckily pfsense is free ad I am glad I don’t have the plus appliances. Then again a similar fix was released within days for pfsense Plus for this same multi wan bug….makes you wonder 💭

    My advice stay on 2.4.5 -p1 as long as you can. I am doing the same. I am using pfblockerng there but only ip blocking. I moved to dedicated AdGuard Home server on a raspberry pi for dnsbl blocking.
