    @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.

    @netboy said in is something wrong with pfBlockerNG?: After my post, I "changed" DNSBL -> DNSBL mode from "unbound python mode" to "unbound mode" and so far i have no issues. Terrible idea. Moving backwards in development history there.

    @fjmp24 said in Notification: UPS ups battery is low: If I remove ignorelb directive, my UPS shuts down after 16 seconds This means your UPS is signaling a low battery. Either your battery is bad, or your UPS is bad. Most likely battery, but you never know. I suggest reaching out to Eaton support.

    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 ?

    @LaUs3r Yeah, I added those IPs, but after restarting pfSense, the WireGuard status says “handshake failed.” Also, when I do nslookup us-bos.prod.surfshark.com, I get two different sets of IPs. For example: • The first time I get 43.225.189.108 and 43.225.189.118 • The next time I get 149.40.50.216 and 149.40.50.290 So I was wondering can I add both sets of IPs, and put a “0” at the end of each, and use /24 for both IPs? I reached out to Surfshark support, and they sent me their official pfSense WireGuard setup guide see the guide here in the guide they mention 10.14.0.2 for static routes

    I have had those issues over the years with snort.  I have to make sure that my normal routine of sites my network goes to is added to whitelists.  I find these by going to blocked and finding the youtube IP's and then going to alerts and creating whitelist and then go back to clear that block from blocked tab.  Wished someone would make it not have to jump back and forth just do it in the BLOCKED area.

    what alternative would be better to Clamav ? It has to be free because the cloud storage i provide to a few other users is a free service for now and i really dont want to waste anymore money on it.? All my other users are windows and mac users so it has to scan for virus made for other systems aswell

    @Asterix: @Cino: thanks Asterix… I'll have to play around with my config then... What is the output when you run? ps -aux | grep dansguardian Also are you using amd64? I see the process started but I thought I would also see the config file its using.. Yup on amd64. I switched back to 2.2 late last night. Won't be installing dans for now as I see progress on e2 package. I did a re-install of it and its working for me now… I'll have to test "web upload is banned" issue.. For what I'm using it, I don't think it will be an issue.

    There is no /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/bin/squid. [2.1.5-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/var/squid/logs(10): ls /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/bin/squid* ls: No match. Since I restarted squid on 1/20, it rotated once at midnight on 1/21, then no more rotations.  The access.log is still growing and the proxy server works fine. With the root user, running: /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/sbin/squid -k rotate -f /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/squid/squid.conf does not do anything.  No errors or anything. # /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/sbin/squid -k rotate -f /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/squid/squid.conf # Notice no output above. # grep -i rotate /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/squid/squid.conf grep: /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/etc/squid/squid.conf: No such file or directory # find / -name squid.conf -print /root/squid.conf /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/squid/squid.conf # grep -i rotate /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/squid/squid.conf logfile_rotate 7 debug_options rotate=7

    Although its been a while since your question, maybe its still useful to answer . I found somewhere on this forum that increasing Firewall Maximum Table Entries  (its under  system>advanced>Firewall/NAT) solves the problem of loading the blocking rules. Personally I increased it to 20000000 without problem but maybe even 1/10 of that is fine. John

    Posting in this thread even though it is old as it is the second one that pops up in a search. I had the same issue, finally realized you select the wan i/f and put the subnet/cidr address your wan is part of in the "Subnet" field.  Stop bandwidthd from running prior to the change.  It apparently only populates the lan side, at least when being used in a NAT configuration at least.

    @BBcan177: @wiz561: Did you use a watchdog for snort?  I uninstalled that too and rebooted.  I'm not sure if the reboot fixed it, or if the uninstall of the watchdog service and reboot fixed it. I don't think the watchguard service is compatible with snort/suricata. If you have multiple interfaces it will restart them all. I also think it might try to restart the interfaces during "updates" of rules potentially causing duplicate pids. BBcan177 is correct.  Snort and Suricata do not play well with the Service Watchdog package at this time.  I have been considering some other options within the two packages themselves to provide the same heartbeat checkup as the Service Watchdog package.
