    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.

    @EChondo

    What's your pfSense version ?
    The instructions are shown here :

    1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png

    A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate.

    @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy:

    I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess.

    No need to wait x days.
    You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    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.

    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.

    @fsantaana:

    thansk for the reply nacht.

    the only problem is that i have some time period (1 hour) where i would need to pause the timer and this is not possible with the voucher.

    I had read some where you can create modules for the time counter or edit the expiration module with the new calculation. However in my past experience when I edit these modules after I reboot the system it erases my configs and replaces it with the defaults.

    Also do you know if this would work with the CP on the pfsense? I knwo that on the 2.1 you can have it send custom radius commands.

    If you need to make changes which should be persitent you should modify the following file:

    /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc

    Perhaps it could be easier to make a diff from the freeradius.inc original file and the one you modified. Then install the "System Patches" package and as your diff there. Then the patch will be applied after firmware updates or even if you update the package and changes outside of the part you did will not be affected.

    As I said - I don't know how good and which commands CP sends and if it would be possible.

    I know this is old, but it's still an issue.

    The plugin is looking at /usr/pbi/nrpe-amd64/* as its base, which is different from previous behavior. That could be fine, but, the old paths with the nrpe2.cfg file and the plugins still exist.

    I just spent a good deal of time trying to figure out why a plugin I put in /usr/local/libexec/nagios was not showing up in the GUI.

    Probably what should happen is that the old paths for plugins and such should be deleted.

    Hey Marcelloc,

    Thanks for your response. Not sure why I didnt try the PBI files before.

    Editing the template file seems to work now.

    So I am able to display a blank page for blocked content.

    Any idea why the ads image replacement feature does not work?

    # Banned image replacement # Images that are banned due to domain/url/etc reasons including those # in the adverts blacklists can be replaced by an image.  This will, # for example, hide images from advert sites and remove broken image # icons from banned domains. # on (default) | off usecustombannedimage = on custombannedimagefile = '/usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/share/dansguardian/transparent1x1.gif' #Banned flash replacement usecustombannedflash = on custombannedflashfile = '/usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/share/dansguardian/blockedflash.swf'

    Any help would be great!

    Cheers!

    @Nachtfalke:

    If I remember correct this is not a package problem but a squid source problem.

    It's called sloppy package maintenance.

    I just put in "Access denied for webpage:"

    I am not good at coding so I searched the forum and found a thread where different people offered their blocked pages. Perhaps searching the forum could help you. I think ist simple php coding.

    My page looks something like that:

    djbdns focuses on security above all else, including separating privileges as much as possible.

    On pfSense 2.1 you could just bind the DNS Forwarder to port 5353, forward queries to internal interface IPs at localhost:5353, and let tinydns handle the authoritative DNS on 53 for external queries.
