    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.

    @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.

    if you add the two acl's with the same acl name, they will be combined. this should produce the wanted result.

    Would look like this:
    Result would be this for the acl name "MyAclCombined1", (didn't check if below config works..) :
    acl        0_MyAclCombined1  hdr(host) -i vhost1.pfsense.local
    acl        1_MyAclCombined1  path_beg -i /test/
    use_backend      test_http if 0_MyAclCombined1 1_MyAclCombined1
    If you want more advanced combinations of acl's however i think you will need to write them in one of the passthrough sections as 'text'.

    Uninstall all monitors, delete their data directories then reinstall:

    Lightsquid: rm -rf /var/lightsquid/
    Sarg: rm -rf /usr/local/sarg-reports/
    Bandwidthd: rm -rf /usr/local/bandwidthd

    To add to Bills comments-

    I use Mikrotik switches to mirror my traffic. They are not that expensive.. under a hundred dollars. Depending on how much traffic you are seeing, it should handle quite a bit of traffic. The good thing about this switch is that you can mirror multiple ports on a single switch.

    http://routerboard.com/RB260GS

    pfSense will monitor all traffic that passes thru the router. But if you want to capture traffic on the Lan, you
    need to put a monitoring interface at every point where you want to look at. So if you want to monitor a file server, you need to mirror/span/tap infront of that interface to see it.

    You can add a nic to pfSense and send the packets to it and use Snort, or another option is using a program called "Security Onion".

    Hmm, add the pidgin.im and skype.com IP's to the block lists?
    Maybe the webservers of those sites aren't strict on the full domain name, so the squidguard is strict and won't recognize the address exactly.

    www.skype.com skype.com (assumes "www." and goes to the site) whatever.skype.com (assumes "www." and is not recognized by squidguard)

    @Xtern:

    Hello,

    I'm new here. Very cool forum. My problem with Snort is that it shows me this:

    Warning:
    New settings will not take effect until interface restart.

    I did the setup like the guide (sticky above) told me, but I can't get rid of this warning message. It's there after restarting the whole machine, when I restart Snort, when I disable and enable the daemon and so on. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Best,
    Xtern

    Fragged is right.  That's just a "reminder" sort of message to let you know that most changes to Snort interface parameters require a restart of Snort on the interface in order for the new settings to become active.

    I fixed my problem by installing HAVP.  Not ideal, but at least it's working now.

    @markn62:

    @wagonza:

    @markn62 was this problem fixed for you? or is it still an issue?

    Not much has changed.  Seems that the package operates very much like it did since the question above was asked.  The only change I noticed was a few more "do not's"  that are important to adhere too for the package to work properly.  I guess it is what it is.

    I can't reproduce any of your current issues at all with the package even using all your custom options. Something else must be going on or you have something else as an additional problem. Try saving your whole pfsense configuration and loading that config onto a VM ands testing to give us information to go on. Or even for yourself. The devs are replacing dnsmasq with unbound afterall. If you copy your unbound.conf on your seperate box to your pfsense and only restart the service does it work?

    Hi,

    If your using haproxy-devel package, and you give the acl's the same name they will be combined into 1 condition. I think that will accomplish what you want.?

    Result would be this for the acl name "MyAclCombined1", (didn't check if below config works..) :
    acl        0_MyAclCombined1  hdr(host) -i vhost1.pfsense.local
    acl        1_MyAclCombined1  path_beg -i /test/
    use_backend      test_http if 0_MyAclCombined1 1_MyAclCombined1

    If you want more advanced combinations of acl's however i think you will need to write them in one of the passthrough sections as 'text'.

    I am using transparent mode hence could never get the loopback to work. Never tried it in standard mode as I have too many devices in the network and not all are configurable.. like TVs, Blu-Ray Players.. etc.

    The little script in my first post needs to be updated to change the path to the user directory. As is, the Fetch (downloads) are going into

    /etc/cron directory.

    Please add

    #!/bin/sh

    cd /home/USERDIRECTORY (Or where ever you would like the downloads to go to. And also where pfBlocker will lookup.
