    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.

  • Discussions about the Tailscale package

    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.

    I discussed this with one of the pfSense Core Team members.  He acknowledged this is caused by the filter_reload() function in 2.1 and some changes within it.  He has this on his list to look at fixing.  That's the good news.  The bad news is since this is something in the core code and not in the Snort package, it will take a longer time to work its way into the patch update process.

    I looked at the squid config and did not see anything unusual ( I am not a squid expert though). The rebooting solution seems to be working. It has been running for about 2 hours without an issue. Now I see that the RRD graphs do not show the captive portal data. On to the next issue.

    Thanks for the solution.

    Hi!

    I also had problems with squid3 after upgrade from v2.0.3 to v2.1 release
    I got error that the package didn´t install correctly after upgrade.
    In menu "Installed packages" the squid3 package was not listed.

    First tried to install without reboot but it didn´t work.
    Uninstalled the package from menu "Installed packages" and rebooted.
    Installed package again with success.
    Rebooted again to check if the package started.

    Now I have the squid3 package up and running.

    /illern.

    Running v2.1 Release full install (i386)

    @maverick_slo:

    Hi!

    snort-2.9.4.6.tbz is June version on the link u posted?

    Regards,
    M

    UPDATE #2 (9:22 AM September 28):  The updated Snort binary for 2.0.3 pfSense installs is now available in the files repository.

    UPDATED INFO (9:30 PM September 27):   I received a note back from the pfSense guys.  There are some issues with getting the 2.0.3 binary packages rebuilt.  The issues are generic with the Ports tree and not specific to Snort.  It could be later this weekend or even early next week before the 2.0.3 binaries get rebuilt.  If you have a 2.1 install, you are golden because the PBI packages are good to go.

    If you want the new Snort GUI fixes, then go ahead and reinstall the Snort package now.  Just click the PKG or XML icons.  They both will do the same thing in terms of reinstalling the GUI PHP code.  I will post back later when the new Snort binaries for 2.0.3 pfSense are built and posted.

    **Original Post follows –- **
    Yeah, I think maybe those rebuild overnight.  I will e-mail the Core Team guys and have one of them check it out.  The new binary is not a huge deal, but if you use the SMTP preprocessor and sometimes saw the message about "SMTP:  changing file_depth requires a restart", then the updated binary will fix that (and allow Snort to soft-restart correctly).

    It won't hurt anything to do a package reinstall by clicking the PKG or XML icon, then later when the new binary is posted you can do the remove and re-install then.  The major bug fixes and new features are all in the GUI code anyway.

    Dansguardian will do ACLs as well. What, specifically, do you wish to achieve with Squidguard that you don't believe you can't with Dansguardian?

    @simby:

    Thanks, now it s working.

    How can i fix snort time problem? Pfsense time is ok!

    Can you be a bit more descriptive with your problem?  Snort gets time from pfSense, so they should match up.  What exactly do you mean by "fix snort time problem"?

    Check /usr/local/www/shortcuts.inc, and /usr/local/www/shortcuts/pkg_upnp.inc

    If you have your pkg drop the file in the /usr/local/www/shortcuts/ with the right contents, it should show the icons you configure.
