    @johnpoz said in Please help to configure HAProxy to serve certifficate on internal LAN too: Yeah - what part do you not understand if you always resolve nextcloud.domain.tld so that it hits your haproxy on your pfsense wan IP are you not getting? You have 2 options - use a different domain internally and always go to nextcloud.publicdomain.tld, or use the same domain internally as external and run into the problem of what IP it resolves to.. Change your local domain to say home.arpa or .internal or atleast something different than the public domain your using to point to pfsense wan IP on the public internet. You are shooting yourself in the foot trying to use the same domain externally as internally. There are ways around it, but they complicate the setup. For example you might be able to use views in unbound as one way to work around the problem. You could use only host entries for all your resources. But then again you run into a problem of using the fqdn for this service, now always pointing to your wan IP.. And that is great when you want to access the service haproxy is doing - but if you want to access that resource on some other service that haproxy doesn't handle - like say simple file sharing.. You are going to have problems. Since you clearly do not understand how any of this works - the simple solution is change the local domain you are using so it is not the same as the public domain you want to use to get to your nextcloud. This tone is outrageous directed at somebody who acknowledged right off the rip that English is not their first language. How many languages do you speak, John? And safely assuming it's only one—English of course—take it from a fellow English native that you'd do well to say more with less words. You otherwise were directing OP in the right direction in my opinion.

    Hello team, I have a Netgate 8200 running 24.11-RELEASE (amd64) with Suricata 7.0.8_5 package installed. Suricata doesn't seem to start. It loops to red once I press the Play button on the interface. It leaves no logs in the System logs, it leaves no logs in suricata.log at /var/log/suricata/suricata_ovpns933787/suricata.log I tried launching it manually: # /usr/local/bin/suricata -V or # /usr/local/bin/suricata -c /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_33787_ovpns9/suricata.yaml -i suricata_ovpns933787 and I get this output ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/suricata: Undefined symbol "__strlcpy_chk@FBSD_1.8" Thanks in advance, Dara

    @kabeda If memory serves, that old version of ntopng did not run as user ntopng, but as user nobody. There are lots of problems in that old version. Anyway, check the ownership and permissions of /var/db/ntopng and make sure it matches the user that ntopng runs as. You may need to set ownership of the entire hierarchy. Example: /usr/sbin/chown -R nobody:nobody /var/db/ntopng However, the better choice would be to upgrade to a more recent version.

    Ah, I changed the action to deny both and now I also have a wan firewall rule, which I also had on OPNsense. With this wan rule I can see the blocks already coming now! Is it a bad idea to have the action set to deny both instead of inbound only?

    I am using the DNS-Update method I have to use a DNS-Sleep of 5 minutes to let the letsencrypt txt dns record update propagate. During this 5 minutes the acme-webgui times out. when the acme-webgui times out the Action list is NOT executed. How can I solve this ? Would it maybe be an idea to let the acme.sh script execute the actions in the action list as a post-hook instead of the web-gui? Or maybe add an option to add post-hooks in the webUI ?

    @luckman212, Thanks for your suggestion. I will check what I have in /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state, and also the RAM disk settings others have brought up. I could learn more about where Tailscale and pfSense store system files. If I find anything worth sharing, I will let you know.

    If you run a local copy of the packages repo, you can sync it to any version/commit you want. If someday pfSense packages files get fetched by a commit id or tag just like we can do on freebsd ports, it will be easy to roll back.

    @simby: Do we have snort 3.0 date in pfsense ?  8) No.  Two external events have to occur first.  Those are (in order of occurrence): 1.  Snort 3.0 goes to RELEASE state 2.  The FreeBSD port of Snort updates to the 3.0 code base. Until both of the events above transpire, the Snort package will stay on the 2.9.x code base. Bill

    The stream alerts can be very annoying, especially on an installation using libpcap like the package utilizes on pfSense.  I generally disable the majority of those stream alert rules in Suricata. Bill

    Some questions for you to help with troubleshooting: 1.  Did you ever run Snort before?  In other words, could there be an old Snort configuration that the package install is seeing and using? 2.  Are you running a full install of pfSense on a HDD or SSD, or is this a NanoBSD installation on a CF card? 3.  Do you see any messages in the system log related to the Snort package? Some notes – If you once had Snort installed and the setting enabled to save the configuration, then the new install will detect and try to use those old settings.  If that old configuration used a ton of rules, it can take many seconds (up to 1 minute or more) for Snort to start.  If you leave the package installation screen before that process completes, the final piece of package installation will not happen and you will not see a Snort menu selection under SERVICES.

    Don't stay fixated on just your file MD5 hash table needs.  A lot of other Suricata stuff uses the hash table as well.  The error message was indicating a computed hash table requirement of 40,674,836,480 bytes.  I have no idea is that number is accurate or not, but I can tell it is being computed by the binary part of Suricata and not the PHP GUI part.

    @ghkrauss: Gentlemen: I have Suricata installed running with Pfsense 2.2. I have a subscription to Emering Threats ETPro rules. Does one have to also install Snort rules also? Any specific configuration issues for Emerging Threats ETPro rules? No, there is no requirement to use the Snort VRT rules.  In fact, you will find that a significant number of them (around 700 or more at last count) will not compile and run on Suricata due to them containing some rule options and keywords that are not currently supported in Suricata.  If you have an ET-Pro subscription, you should be fine. There some configuration threads posted here in the Packages forum.  Do a quick search for "Suricata blueprint" and that should turn up one of them. Bill

    @Nachtfalke: Question 1: Is it possible to get a separte report which shows me the websites the user(s) connected between specific hours. So I want a report which only shows the reports between 0900-0959 and between 1000-1059. With the SARG arguments above and disabled "overwrite reports" I got an hourly report but this report contains everything from the beginning of the say. So like 0000-0859 and the next report from 0000-0959. So I would appreciate any suggestions or corrections if I did configure or understand something wrong. Will work only if you rotate the log without "overwrite reports" checked. Question 2: I am not able to find a statistic where I can exactly see which user(s) accessed which website at a specific timerange. So I want to see that one user accessed www.google.com at 091:10am, 0935am and so on. The reason why I am interested in this statistic is because I want to know why a snort alert was generated. I want to see which websites were accessed at this time by a specific user to find out if it was the website the user accessed generated the alert or if it was some "adware banner" or something crosslinked on the page which generated the alert. 'sites and users' reports show who accessed the site but it does not include a time colum. but if you click on the user, sarg will redirect you to client day report.

    Tunables recommended for FreeBSD in a server role often do not make sense for pfSense in a firewall role. The nature of connections and traffic are completely different. Tunables shouldn't be added or changed unless the implications are properly understood for all of them. There isn't a "one size fits all" list of tunables to be applied. We set things by default that are good to have, and others may be tweaked but unless there is a reason for doing so, don't apply values that are "recommended" for other configurations. That said, the error you see would likely also happen to Unbound on FreeBSD in the same configuration.

    Squid is the only package I have installed, a box that will do DHCP, firewall and DNS & web caching is what I was after when I built this. By moving the cache out of /var, squid is finally caching (into a persistent cache). I have had this running for like a week now caching updates for different machines, I got it rebooted few times and the cache is ~4GB and keeps growing  :)

    hi wcrowder! I really appreciate your offer to assist. I am overseas (In Medellin, Colombia, actually), and will be back home on March 5th. BBCan, as awesome as he is, also offered to help (you guys rock! thank you!). If you can, It'd be awesome to have a TeamViewer or WebEx session on or after march 5th. If you are unable to, I'll gather logs and shoot 'em over your way. I'm sure it's not working due to something stupid I did :P Again, thank you and have a great weekend, sir!
