    @ha11oga11o said in Please help to configure HAProxy to serve certifficate on internal LAN too: Just to add again, that blo***dy nextcloud app has to be on same domain name connection and same cert. 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.

    @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.

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

    @optimus-prime said in Bandwidthd with names: And to that extent, is there a way to assign user-defined device names within pfsense by mac address, regardless if devices are set up with DHCP, Static DHCP, or statically assigned? Of course. Add your own static DHCP leases at the bottom of this page : Services > DHCP Server > LAN One for each device + it's MAC address and the IP, member of the LAN network - and outside of the pool.

    @wintok Start by backing up your existing config to a safe place (or multiple places). Then i'd suggest : Since you have Netgate hardware , that you get a new install image from them, and create a usb boot stick. Then via the usb stick,upgrade your box to the latest release. I would also suggest that you use ZFS as your new filesystem, as it offers some exciting new functionalities in 22.05 ... Snapshots. I can reinstall from scratch (w. hdd format), in less than 20 min. Providing i have a working config backup.

    @nogbadthebad - Thanks for your reply. If using 802.1x authentication you can have the radius server pass back the VLAN for the authenticated user (either using username/password or MAC authentication). This is all working as expected for authenticated users - I have one SSID thats broadcast, depending on the user or device (in the case of my IoT) it gets dropped onto the correct VLAN as it reads the radius response. The issue I have at the moment with PFSense is I cannot seem to set a fallback VLAN for failed authentication (ie guests) - Previously in OPNSense (using freeradius) I dropped all unauthenticated users back onto a guest VLAN for segregation. However I dont seem to have the GUI option and when trying to put in the right Syntax for the advanced options, cannot seem to get it to work.

    @dominikhoffmann I also use freerad, good tool but the GUI is a little old. Have you looked at the captive portal on PFsense? Just another option though I think I saw somewhere a few years ago about issues with IPv6. Supports radius as well

    @herr_xyz Until then it's up to you to download the new version by yourself from there and install it on your Windows or even integrate it into the installer package manually.

    @viragomann Oh man! So, I finally figured out the problem. You were correct from the beginning. In fact, nearly every scenario we tried works. The problem had nothing to do with my setup. My ISP decided to up and block port 80 all of a sudden without telling me. I figured this out by going back to basics. I started up a simple webserver that listened to port 80 and just forwarded directly to that server. Worked on most every other port except 80. Spent 3 hours on the phone with my ISP to get this fixed. All works now. I really appreciate the help. I did learn a few things along the way, so not a total waste of time.

    No, and nobody should. A mail server does not belong on a firewall.
