    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.

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade:

    Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working.

    Glad you have it sorted.

    There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting.
    ...
    Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded?

    If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver).

    Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name).

    You can see the quirk with the following command:

    [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root:

    Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver.

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade:

    You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8.

    LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    @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.

    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.

    All traffic is blocked on pfSense by default.

    If you have no other pass rule that matches the same traffic, then all other traffic will be blocked.

    James I have tried the same with snort 1.25 and pf 1.2.3

    I posted screenshots below of my configuration. Here is the alert http://www.snortid.com/snortid.asp?QueryId=1:11969

    Edit: As a side note the snort package doesn't get along with chrome. Stumped me for a bit why things weren't working lol.

    Heh try all the categories with "scan" in the name. Try the ICMP categories if your scan doesn't show. Also make sure snort is running on the WAN interface. It should be green if it is running.

    $ cat /usr/local/etc/snort/whitelist/defaultwlist
    wasn"t in the file itself.
    It's how I obtained it from the GUI using Diagnostics/Command
    Be gentle, I'm a noob.

    Not sure what you mean by "for that interface",
    but I have attached a copy of the contents of /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf
    Hope it's what you're after.

    Just checking back in to see if you have been able to duplicate the snort
    "fail on pppoe reconnect" issue on your end.  And to see if the snort.conf.file I provided was what you needed.
    Sorry that I don't yet always know where to find the requested file(s).
    (I sometimes need guidance figuring out which directory to look in.)

    Sounds like you have a full plate working on Snort INLINE with pfSense v 2.0.
    Perhaps I should try that version.

    As to pfSense v1.2.3,  Snort-old seemed to work much better for me with PPPOE.
    Thank you, jamesdean, for all your help.

    Sincerely,

    snort.conf.txt

    They ranged from 0.5 meg to maybe 5 megs each.  They were from an NNTP client (Agent).  It opens up to 10 sessions I believe when downloading.  That's where I noticed the message the most.

    The pfSense box I'm using is an old PC with a 866 MHz Pentium CPU and 768 MB of RAM.  It works fine for my private LAN.

    Its normal, I's an old bug. Its not snort, its something with the logging configuration in Pfsense.
    I'll fix it in latter versions.

    Operation Demo is given in the description (check one AUTHNAME > then DNSNAME > then IP). If demo eturn IP then DNS not resolved you IP. This can be if you pfsense dont resolve local IP's by DNS.

    @rhy7s:

    Does anyone know how to analyse the cdf spreadsheet to create reports for custom date ranges?

    Still would like to know how to go about this if anyone has a method to use, there's the link on the wiki http://devwiki.pfsense.org/BandwidthD but I get a message about too many rows when opening my yearly log. I'd really like to get a custom report per IP for custom date ranges but not sure how to achieve this.
