    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.

  • Discussions about the Tailscale package

    Hello,
    I am unable to get the Tailscale package to work. The page at VPN > Tailscale > Authentication is stuck. It displays the error "Tailscale is not online," but also shows a "Logout and Clean" button, with no option to log in.
    link text

    This state persists even after performing the following troubleshooting steps:

    Rebooting the pfSense router.

    Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the Tailscale package multiple times.

    Clearing browser cache and using a private browser window.

    Toggling the main "Enable Tailscale" checkbox in the settings.

    Checking the logs, which show the service gets a "terminate" signal and shuts down cleanly; it does not crash.

    Manually trying to delete the state file with rm /var/db/tailscale/tailscaled.state, which failed because the file does not exist.

    It appears that the package's configuration is corrupted in a way that persists even after reinstallation. Can anyone advise on how to perform a complete manual cleanup of all Tailscale files and settings?

    @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.

    For redirects, use "External URL Found" and redirect it to your own error page. The client browser is less likely to (but still can) cache a 302.

    Ron,

    Thanks for responding.  Reboot does not fix the behavior either.  I'm going to try a fresh install at this point.  I believe there is an issue with my install.  I will report back later this evening.

    Thanks,

    Is the system running pfSense a full install or NanoBSD? NanoBSD's drive would be kept read only and thus wouldn't be good for working as a receiver.

    Also I can't remember if the server on pfSense works the same, but often a file must exist first on the server before a client can upload and write it out. Try uploading something via the GUI with the same target name and then see if the upload from the device works.

    What kind of permissions are you talking about?
    Do you mean different groups should be allowed to visit different websites? then this isn't possible with freeradius.

    If you want to give users different times or dates to access the internet then this can be done by freeradius.

    Changeing the password using the users file on freeradius ist not possible until the user has access to the GUI. So you can try with SQL database as user backend and check these documentation:
    https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_2.x_package#CaptivePortal_Self-Registration:FreeRADIUS.2B_MySQL
    Captive Portal Self Registration.

    I seem to have solved my own issue by selecting transparent proxy mode under HAVP - not sure how i managed to do it right for squid but not for HAVP!

    @KOM:

    There is a dashboard widget for Installed Packages, but I don't know if it shows available upgrades or not.

    It does.  If there is an upgrade the package is highlighted in red and IIRC there is a button to click for upgrade right on the dashboard.

    Cool! Having just updated all my packages I couldn't tell… Doh!

    I just found a work around for the problem but I'll leave this up incase soemone has a better idea, or solution.

    WHat I did to remedy the issue was to create an exception in: Services -> Proxy Server -> Cache Mgmt -> Do not cache.

    It is not a good idea to offer more than 50% of your 8192 MB RAM for squid cache.

    Squid uses RAM for in transit objects for the disk cache.
    This process needs around 100MB of RAM per GB of disk cache.
    It is dynamically allocated depending on the object stored in the cache, so this is not an exact science.

    If you have a large disk cache set, 100GB for instance.
    You will need, when the disk cache is in full use, 10GB of RAM!

    Depending on your disk cache, set the memory cache to such a size you know will remain available after the disk cache is in full use.
    (other process also use RAM, bind etc.)

    I use around 25% of my RAM for the memory cache and use the 100MB per GB rule to size the disk cache.

    @BBcan177:

    wcrowder was leading you in the right direction  :)

    Take for example this Range from the IBlock BT Spyware List

    Range Format
    221.181.73.214-221.181.73.221:

    Converts to the following in CIDR Notation
    221.181.73.214/31
    221.181.73.216/30
    221.181.73.220/31

    So comparing Line Count in Range to CIDR is not going to be exact depending on the Ranges in a particular list.

    Hope this makes it clearer.

    BBcan177 - Thanks, and I guess that settles that. :)  So it looks like the only way I have to validate that lists are updating is just if they change from time to time.

    wcrowder - Sorry, & Thank you.  I guess I had that backwards.

    @Heli0s:

    Thanks for all of your responses! Out of curiosity, what packages do you personally use (Snort or Suricata) and what rulesets do you use (Snort VRT or ET)?

    Just because it is what I originally started with, I'm still using Snort on my home firewall.  I have a paid VRT subscription (the $29.95/year version) and so use those rules.  I also use some of the ET-Open (free) rules.  I run the IPS Balanced Security Policy on my LAN along with some of the ET Trojan and Malware rules.  On the WAN side, just so I have something to observe working, I run some of the ET drop rules for suspicious IPs (ET CINS, ET DROP, etc.).  I don't really need those ET rules on the WAN, but I loaded them just to watch the activity and to help me test things when I do package updates.
