    @ha11oga11o and again - not an issue if you don't try and use the same domain internally as you do externally. Haproxy doesn't care from what direction you are coming from, wan or lan makes no difference. It remember which connection is allowed, at which cert if you always hit haproxy via the pfsense wan IP - it would always be the same cert.. Not from outside public cert, and internally selfsigned cert. you list a rfc1918 address on pfsense wan, or are you trying to hit your lan address 192.168.1.1 ? If you hit that and your on the 192.168.1 network you going to run into an asymmetrical problem where sure haproxy will send to your .214 address but when your service answers to a 192.168.1.x address to the client that would be coming from a different host than who it talked to.. Your fqdn you want to use should hit the wan IP of pfsense.

    @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.

    @carlinix said in DNSBL blockpage only works with root domain: Meaning http://detectportal.firefox.com/ redirects to the DNSBL blockpage with the blocked domain info "This website detectportal.firefox.com has been blocked by the Network Administrator!" I presume that "detectportal.firefox.com" is just an example here. But ... be aware that this URL shouldn't be blocked if possible for two reasons : The resource requested returns just a 8 byte 'page' : it says 'success'. This URL is most probably be used by the OS or app on a device (probably Firefox ) to detect the presence of a captive portals on the connected network.

    @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 ?

    For some odd reason, even though the service seems UP, and routes (apparently from tailscale) looks fine, the service itself is not working. E.g. I cannot connect to other hosts on my tailscale network. From pfsense itself it works, but not from my e.g. my LAN. As soon as I restart the tailscale service in the UI it works immediately after.

    I was on PfSense version 23.xx (don't recall the xx) and was able to start the Wireguard service. I upgraded to the 25.11 beta version and now the Wireguard service will not even start. I am on Wireguard version 2.1, and I see that there are versions that go up to 2.9. How do I upgrade to a later version? The only version in the pfSense updater is 2.1. Thank you

    Not easily, no. It could maybe be added to the export package in the future, but it does not currently exist. After revoking the certificate you could save a copy locally and then remove it from the list of certificates if you wish to stop it from being used again.

    You're aware that you can export your entire configuration, reinstall pfSense and then reimport your config?  Diagnostics - Backup/Restore.

    Strange, I didn't notice your response until just now. I had already found that option by that time however. Yes, it is on the diagnostics menu. I'm still having an issue getting this working, however. I am going to start a new thread for that, however.

    To do HTTPS with a transparent proxy, you will have to install a certificate on every client computer, so you end up touching all your clients anyway.

    You need to install every package you installed on the master, on the slave as well. And reconfigure it from scratch if that package does not offer syncing its settings to the slave (some packages do, most do not). It's not as difficult as it sounds, it's a do it once and forget it process.

    SquidGuard is started by Squid itself via the "Squid.conf". First you download a blacklist on the (Blacklist) page. (use shallalist for example) (during the update log it must read "found xx items", those are the subjects you can block from that list) Select the stuff you want to block and allow (Common ACL). (default access = allow) Pressing save and then apply in the main Squidguard (proxy filter) page will save the settings into "Squid.conf".

    I have narrowed it down to my openvpn interface (OPT) being enabled in the gui as a transparent interface, giving the weird address.

    Is there any error message shown on the page at all? It sounds like maybe the package .inc file has gone missing. From the shell or diag > command in the shell exec box, try this: fetch -o /usr/local/pkg/ https://packages.pfsense.org/packages/config/openvpn-client-export/openvpn-client-export.inc Then uninstall again.
