    @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.

    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 think we finally tracked this issue down to some folks leaving the Package Install screen a little too quickly.  It can take Snort a long time to start up if lots of rules are enabled and/or the CPU is not super fast.  You will see a message in the install box that says something like "…package successfully installed..." when the install is actually finished.  Just because you see it say that it starting Snort, that does not mean the install is complete yet.  After Snort starts, control is returned to the pfSense package manager code, and that code does the final steps of the install which includes adding the menu links under SERVICES.  So if you exit the installer screen too early, the PHP process terminates and that final step performed by the package manager code never happens.  This leads to the Snort option missing under the SERVICES menu.

    @scottd: OK, managed to figure out why Blacklist did not load.  I had a "partial" list that Firefox didn't warn me aborted during the download process.  I found that out by trying to open the list, WinZip tried to gunzip it and failed, reported premature EOF.  I downloaded again from: http://urlblacklist.com/?sec=download and I had to try a couple times to be sure this time I got a complete file.  Don't know why that times out sometimes, busy I guess. But, I still have my 2nd problem which is that our VPN won't work while using DansGuardian.  Anybody have any ideas on that? Do you have a subscription? Is so, let them know… If not, then its their way of of saying you need a subscription  ::)

    Yes but if you give the VPN the same internal IP as your own, then routing wont work afaik. Thats why I wanted you to give your local subnet a different IP range. Then we can exclude the routing range.

    Yeah, sure. Point taken, although I'd be mostly filtering myself, anyway, if I wanted to restrict the users… More interested in doing things like ad filtering, or detecting/blocking various phone-home type things, because open ports can be abused, monitoring whether the ports are actually used by the protocols/apps for which they were opened would be my main concern. I neither trust ISPs nor closed-source software vendors  further than I can throw them (which given their abstract nature is a distance of zero)...

    Thanks for trying to help me  ;D Just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to get it to work. Was on the brink of a nervous break down, as reinstalling gives huge pain in the butt when having to export certificates for use in Windows and Android, let alone, once you have these certificates exported, putting them on each gadget and laptop, and customizing these again. Logging was on but showed nothing at all. Radius test user (wiki) on 127.0.0.1 worked. Rebooted switches, WAP's, pfSense: nothing. Reinstalled FreeRadius: nothing. Then I discovered the obvious bug: This was the shared secret: ^4540lkkgkf_8(`!$,.;/" Replaced that with: 1234 And everything worked again… The weird thing is: that first shared secret was exactly the same as the one it was before I reinstalled pfSense; I meticulously made sure not to make any errors there. Thanks again for your kind help  ;D

    @SunStroke: In that tutorial HAVP was set as transparent. If you have squid installed you would prefer to set HAVP as "Parent for Squid". "Transparent" is used for HAVP in standalone mode. I use that mode for HAVP without Squid. Ok yes that fixed it! Is that setting ok with squiguard running as well?

    Thanks very much for the help - much appreciated! Your config makes sense - I agree, a bit odd about the server, but glad it works for you. I think my issue is related to links missing in v2.2 … :(. Thanks again.

    @ghkrauss: I have Snort running on Pfsense 2.2RC. I would like guidance on which alerts I can safely add to the suppression list. It is unclear what the meaning of "Unknown" vs. :not suspicious". I am trying to configure the Snort system for the longer term. The Pfsense platform is an Xeon E-3 with 16 GB and a 10K rpm hard drive. There is a thread here with "Master Suppress List" in the title.  Do a search and it should pop up.  It is several pages worth of posts from experienced users here. Edit:  found the link for you:  https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=56267.0 Bill
  • HAProxy-devel config issue, help needed

    Hi jbiss_ca, So you don't see session and byte counters on the frontend increase at all? That would mean the connection never arrived at haproxy. Do you have 1:1 natting or a portforward configured on pfSense for the wan-ip? Any floating rules / traffic shaping / other packages ? Is there a lot of traffic or high cpu usage on pfSense ? It could be worth trying to make a tcpdump of the traffic to see if a incoming connection is answered. tcpdump can be started on a ssh/console with a command like this where you put the correct ip, and the interface name for em0: tcpdump -i em0 "host 1.2.3.4 && port 80" The TCP handshake go's like this normally: Request connection[ S] , Accept connection[ S.] , Traffic[ .] , that would be the first 3 packets.. As for logging to '/var/run/log' that sadly doesn't do much.. It would provide more information if you log it to a actual syslog server. Also enable the 'Detailed logging', every connection handled by haproxy should show up in those logs. The roundrobbin selection shouldnt affect anything if only 1 server is available.. Hope some of it helps..

    https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=6.msg472384#msg472384 I got it running quite simple but not able to make a package for it yet.  I never made one and don't have any setup to do it. I hope someone does make a package for it.  It is quite simple to get running just copy files and run the php index file.  To get more just edit the config file some and maybe install a module or two for more functions

    @wiz561: @bmeeks: If you have Snort on multiple interfaces, the Service Watchdog package cannot distinguish each individual interface as the separate Snort service instance it is, so it will not accurately watch all the instances. Thanks for posting this as I came here to ask the same question.  I'm getting tired of snort not running for some unknown reason every now and then.  I do run snort on multiple interfaces (wan and internal lan).  Do you have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this, with two interfaces?  I'm mostly concerned with the WAN interface, can I tell the watchdog service to just concentrate on that instance? Unfortunately the Service Watchdog package cannot distinguish between the Snort interfaces.  It will simply "pgrep" for "snort", and if it finds a running instance it will be happy.  That instance may not be the one that is stopped.  For example, if WAN stops but LAN is running, then the "pgrep snort" command will find the single running instance and be "happy" when it really should be "not happy". I tried for several weeks earlier this year to find a way around that, but there are some internal limitations with the current pfSense architecture with regards to how packages are sensed and auto-started by the system.  Those limitations cause the issues with something like the Service Watchdog package. I have considered something similar to Service Watchdog but customized into the Snort package itself.  I have not given that much priority.  I can revisit that idea in a future update. Bill

    I'm hoping marcelloc will notice this thread. Not that I think it's a really a bug.  There are so many config options in postfix that I'm not surprised he would have had to make some tough choices about how to manage certain things through the GUI. I suspect any save through the GUI or reinstall of the package would wipe out the change.
