    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.

    https://help.zerossl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060119933-Certificate-Revocation

    edit: oh you prob out of luck

    You can revoke any certificate issued via the ZeroSSL portal. Currently, certificates issued via ACME can not be revoked from inside the portal - please follow the instructions of your ACME client for revoking those certificates.

    the gui in pfsense does not have the ability to revoke - you prob have to move the certs to something you have certbot installed to and revoke that way.

    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.

    For 25.07 RC, this worked for me (run sh first)

    @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.

    @bmeeks what's funny is the .11 version works perfectly for me on 23.05.01. I always thought it was my custom AppID stuff until you told me the real reason. I would love a new Netgate appliance that could utilize inline mode and get .SO rules. My wife won't let me until this one dies. I also can't get my 2100 to update to 23.09. But I secretly like ARM too

    @saidin

    Ok, I found out this thread.
    https://forum.netgate.com/topic/184195/upgrade-pfsense-ce-2-7-0-to-2-7-1

    and applied the temporary fix described here https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-1.html#troubleshooting, which is to apply certctl rehash

    Later, I confirmed that I am using my correct branch in System --> Update --> Update Settings and I was able to install the packages that I needed.

    Thanks

    Yes, please start your own new thread. The original issue here is 100% confirmed to be resolved so if you are hitting something similar it has to be a different cause.

    Today I did set up another test BIND server under linux configured it from ground up. And result is exactly the same. So this problem is not pfsense related. Its something I do not understand in Bind...

    @SteveITS
    I agree in terms of the function. It seems to work with other tools like Suricata or pfBlocker but with similar functionality.
    I'm willing to give it a shot once its available officially tho. Could be interesting.

    @slu said in Restore missing FreeRADIUS config:

    same problem after the upgrade to 0.15.10_1 today

    Hmmm, rereading https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14806, if the issue happens on uninstall, that would always be the "old" package and therefore the issue is going to affect everyone until after they get on 0.15.10_1. :(

    Oof, this wiped out my FreeRADIUS config as well. Did a full restore from a manual backup and a reboot. Thank goodness for backups.

    Can this FreeRADIUS security issue get some love? I deleted all my users (1 user for each phone, iPad, laptop, etc.) to test it, and they're all still able to connect. Using EAP-TLS. That checkbox basically does nothing. Thanks

    Check Client Certificate CN
    Validate the Client Certificate Common Name

    When enabled, the Common Name of the client certificate must match the username set in 'FreeRADIUS > Users'. (Default: Unchecked)

    @bigtfromaz Agreed. I'm also looking for a way to monitor logs, and potentially send out notifications on abnormal connections, eg. Connection from a previously unseen country, etc.

    So far the only remote solution would be: https://github.com/MindFlavor/prometheus_wireguard_exporter

    I don't feel like installing additional software on my router, but on the other hand, there doesn't seem to be a way to monitor these logs externally.

    Please let me know if you find anything interesting.

    @eroji well you have from the gui some previous process running..

    What you see via some browser and a url isn't always going to be what is going on in the background..

    Kill off that old upgrade process, and try with the gui..

    edit: I just fired up my 23.05.1 VM and installed package just fine

    My problem was resolved by messaging one of the admins who work for Netgate. The issue was due to the fact I had to change out my 4 port NIC on my home built pfsense plus for a new one and it changed my NDI. Once I gave that to them and they updated it to the registered e-mail on file, the Available Packages came back. I hope this helps.
