    @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.

    @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.

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 ?

    @mightykong Yes, my system also requires a restart after reboot, and what has worked for me is: service tailscaled stop && tailscale logout || true && service tailscaled start && tailscale up What has worked for updates included a [sysrc tailscaled_enable="YES"] that is supposed to handle tailscale restart after reboot, but it has not worked for me. I am looking into it, and others will be as well. In the meantime, this is my update one-liner command line: service tailscaled stop && tailscale logout || true && fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.90.6.pkg || exit 1 && IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg-static add -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg && rm -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg && service tailscaled start && tailscale up Options: add && tailscale version && tailscale status to automate a first check; and, the "rm -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg" is not needed, but once I saw the suggestion, I decided to keep it.

    Hi everyone, This is a noob question but already tried multiple and I hope some one can help with this. I have a Wireguard Tunnel configured and handshake is successfully performed and I can ping the server from the laptop but can't do it otherwise. Already deactivate the NAT feature and all the rules and no luck. Pfsense and this server is located in a Proxmox Server, laptop is a local. Any ideas? Thank you.

    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, Ryan

    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.

    @jwsmiths: @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!

    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. Ash,

    @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.
