    Hello all, please dont shoot me on sight, im one of those who kinda set up things by following tutorials and actually see things how they look like on screen. And English is not my native language either. I setted up HAProxy with pfSense package for Nextcloud which works as VM at ip 192.168.1.214. It has self signed cert. I created ACME with Porkbun as wildcard and all that works totally fine. BUT i have big issue which i dont know how to solve. When im acessing by nextcloud.mydomain.xx in LOCAL LAN it serves page fine, but it uses self signed cert. Will someone, please, by example show me how to create working rule which will force pfSense to serve 192.168.1.214 and all its translation or whatever exclusively outside? Bare in mind that 214 has to be able to lurk in 192.168.1.0/24 also, since data storage is served by NFS on TrueNas. 192.168.1.1 (pfSense IP), 192.168.1.214 (Nextcloud IP) All works fine from outside, but from local LAN it bypase HAProxy, and serve nextcloud internal cert with correct domain name nextcloud.mydomain.xx . Well it seems that only bypas cert part since domain works. Somehow it resolve. This is what dig command does from local lan: ;; ANSWER SECTION: nextcloud.domain.xx. 3600 IN A 192.168.1.1 nextcloud.domain.xx. 3600 IN A 192.168.1.214 ;; Query time: 0 msec ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) (UDP) ;; WHEN: Thu Oct 30 08:48:37 CET 2025 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 83 Main problem here is that Nextcloud app go stuck when we are on local network. It does not work since it gets different cert. It does not even ask do we want to accept it or not. Even if does it will be bit weird to do that every time we come home. Many thnx in advance!

    @Greyhat I think it's useful to work with what we've got and figure something out for the (i hope) edge cases later. So for the JSON I figured you can actually use an existing suricata integration by co-opting their pipelines.

    @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 Docker container for nut server?: I am NOT installing docker in pfsense - offcourse this is a big security risk - I agree !!! My apologies. I interpreted your earlier question I think i need to explain what i am asking for. I am fully aware if your netgate router is attached to an UPS you can configure netgate. Let us say you 5 UPS's in your home and you want nut server to read all the UPS's and show me a dasboard about the status of all the UPS's ? - Is there a ready made docker container for client server nut with dashboard functionality? as a request to have something running on pfSense, which is why I responded I believe most people would say that the type of thing you are asking for isn't something you want to run on your firewall. I recommend using a general purpose operating system behind the firewall instead. Mutual misunderstanding I guess. If you want to explore general NUT monitoring, and not something particular to pfSense, I would recommend the NUT Users list as a better place to seek information.

    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 ?

    @Vad-B Interesting indeed! I just tried to fill the Pre-authentication Key with file:/dev/null. I get an crash in pfsense after some time, but when I login again is saved. For me this for after service restarts at least this solves it, including the issue with the routes not being advertised even set in the WebUI. Havent done an full restart of pfsense (yet)

    Hello, I’m wondering if it’s possible to have a private vpn wireguard server on pfsense and to also have a personal wireguard server such that friends can link to your pfsense network but also be under the private vpn, nordvpn for example. Is that possible to with routing?

    Suricata: New alerts for rules in the suppress list still visible in Alerts Log

    @priller: @bmeeks: Based on my testing, either the patched binary or turning off the delayed-detect feature worked.  Translated, that means you need the new binary if you want to leave "delayed-detect" set to "on", but if you don't have the new binary yet, you can just set "delayed-detect" to off and should still not see the bug. It seems to be OK with that set to "off". We tried that previously ( https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=74778.msg410720#msg410720 ) and still had a problem.  Other than having multiple interfaces then vs. a single one now,  I'm not sure what else is different in the config .. or the sequence of events to trigger it.  Anyway, looking much better today. From my understanding of the bug and the Suricata binary code, the call to load the Suppress List entries was made and the list successfully loaded before the rule signatures had been loaded.  So there were, at that moment, no rules in the memory table for the Suppress List to match and thus the flag to "not alert" was not set for any Suppress List rules.  Delayed-Detect is an option designed for inline IPS operation that allows Suricata to go ahead and come up and start passing traffic even before all the rule signatures (detection) are loaded and enabled.  So in this mode, there is a time where traffic will pass uninspected.  In the current quasi-IPS/IDS mode Suricata uses, this parameter has no meaning but I had defaulted it to "on" for the future.  When you disable Delayed-Detect, the rules load earlier and thus are in memory when the Suppress List is loaded and parsed.  So this means rules can match up. The reason this worked using the icons on the Alerts tab is those add the entry to the list and then initiate a "live rule swap" within Suricata.  This is not the same as a restart, thus the rules are in memory and can be matched up against the Suppress List when it loads as part of the "live rule swap".  Restarting the service, however, does trigger the bug when Delayed-Detect is enabled. I've done two things to address this in the upcoming release.  First, I back-ported a patch from 1.4.7 to the 1.4.6 version used on FreeBSD that makes sure the Suppress List is loaded after the rules have been processed.  Second, I added a checkbox on the INTERFACES tab to allow the Delayed-Detect feature to be manually enabled or disabled by the user.  It will default to disabled.

    Radius with MAC filtering

    't Works  ;D Although it took me quite some learning, as I am an economist and not a technical guy  :-[ I too have a Ubiquity access point which supports Radius. So basically this is it: 1. I have laptop and smartphones which connect wireless. 2. I created a special VLAN for wireless only. 3. pfSense cert manager has created certificates (so: not passwords). 4. The certificates are installed in the laptop (wifi connection) and in the smartphones (android). 5. After setting up Radius to use these certificates: 5.a. The smartphone connects to the Ubiquity, which has been told to use Radius, and the address of the Radius-server. 5.b. The Ubiquity forwards the connection request via the switch to the pfSense where Radius resides. 5.c. Somewhere/somehow the client certificate (how this works is not quite clear to me, but it works) of the smartphone is offered to the pfSense radius server to indentify the smartphone. The other way around the server identifies itself to the smartphone with it's server certificate (to avoid MitM-attacks). 5.d. If this authentification is approved the Radius server tells the Ubiquity to allow access for the smartphone. 5.e. The DHCP-server on the VLAN then issues an IP and the firewall assures the smartphone can only go to the internets, and not to the LAN. 't Works  ;D I hope this helps  :P Bye,

    @torsurfer: @pfSense2User I think you need to enable 'execute' permissions on both the clamav and dansguardian directories. Try this: chmod u+x /var/log/clamav /var/log/dansguardian I made a script to chmod the entire /var/log directory called perms.sh in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d folder: #!/bin/sh /bin/chmod -R 777 /var/log Then, I used the chmod +x perms.sh to make the file as an executable for everyone; lo and behold, it runs! Thank you kindly!

    Step 1. Go to Site Lists under ACLs in dansguardian Step 2. Edit the Default profile….Under banned.....type all the sites which you want  time based access...Site1.com,Site2.org,Site3.net,Site4.com,Site5.org,Site6.info Step 3. Create a new profile, example Time1. Step 4. Under Exception lists of Time1 type the list of sites you want to grant access to For eg you want to grant access to Site1.com, Site2.org & Site2.net from 17:00 hrs to 18:00 Mon-sat Hence Under Exception list you will add #time: 17 00 18 00 012345 Site1.com Site2.org Site3.net Step 5. Create another profile Time2....type the list of sites you want to grant access to For eg you want to grant access to Site4.com, site5.org, Site6.info from 09:00 to 13:00 Mon-Fri hence Under Exception list you will add #time: 09 00 13 00 01234 Site4.com Site5.org Site6.info Step 7. Include the paths of the profiles Time1 & Time2 under the exceptionlists of Default Profile eg..under Exceptionlist of Default profile it should be .Include .Include Adding these two lines instructs dansguardian to parse these files one by one Similarly any number of banned, exception & greylists with different access times can be created.

You're welcome!  Sorry about the bug.  It was totally my fault.  In adding some additional security for configuration changes, I accidentally broke saving a new list… :-[ Bill

    fragged is correct.  This only impacts the IP REPUTATION preprocessor.  It is disabled by default.  I was just pointing it out as one area that can fail with RAM disks.  The downloaded rules tar balls and the individual interface rules are stored on the /usr partition. There once was a bug where Snort did not put the /usr partition in read/write mode when trying to update some files, but I think I have all of those fixed now.  Report back if you notice any errors in the system log about attempting to write to a read-only partition.

    Hi finalcut, If nothing is shown in the firewall log, then creating a floating rule like you proposed (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=71515.msg414518#msg414518)wont help.. Unless you have rules that match but don't log traffic. But i think that this kind of problem is unlikely to be the cause of your current issues.. You could try is disabling the trafficshaper, maybe that 'interacts' strangely with squid..?? Would also be interesting to see some packet captures of both the wan and lan side simultaneously while a failing upload is being made, so it is clear which side of the connection 'breaks'. Then combine that with logging of squid with a higher then normal verbosity and it should help in determining what part of the process causes it to fail. Greets PiBa-NL

    Here is a link to a discussion I had in regards to blocklists. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=73353.msg402927#msg402927 Some of those lists are for mail servers and can be ignored. If you add more blacklists, you will need to increase the maximum table entry. Goto  Advanced:Firewall/NAT  and increase the "Firewall Maximum Table Entries". There is no functionality currently to see if the blacklists are downloading the lists at the specified frequency unfortunately.

    I'ts related to freebsd, not package configuration. You can help looking for workarounds searching on google. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2014-February/090322.html http://sourceforge.net/p/c-icap/discussion/420422/thread/1a2978aa/ http://bit.ly/1h6nxFA i386 version with same config files works, so in your production environment you can forward  proxy requests to a i386 virtual machine with squid and icap.

    I've found you did start another thread a while before.. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=74085 That you never got a reply is likely due to the very small amount of fragmented information you have given. "uploading file failed" is not a very descriptive title for someone to look at. As it has nothing to do with HAProxy, and unlikely to be related to floating rules i'm not going to continue the discussion here.

    Question on Snort IP REP

    @vito: Looking at the IP Rep option I see where you can add list… Question: It seems the list are stored locally and not pulled from a site (like PFBlocker) Is this the norm or will added feature be coming latter to pull list from web and do scheduled updates like PFBlocker? If I understand correctly, IP Rep “could” replace PBBlocker at some point? (or am I wrong?) Thanks for your help and hard work on Snort (and Suricta) vito You are correct that, at the moment, the lists are static and stored locally.  I think some users have created their own cron jobs and associated scripts to download updates and write them to the directory. For now, if a list is updated, Snort needs to be restarted in order to pick it up.  I am investigating some other options for the future. Bill
