    @johnpoz said in Please help to configure HAProxy to serve certifficate on internal LAN too: 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. This tone is outrageous directed at somebody who acknowledged right off the rip that English is not their first language. How many languages do you speak, John? And safely assuming it's only one—English of course—take it from a fellow English native that you'd do well to say more with less words. You otherwise were directing OP in the right direction in my opinion.

    @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 is something wrong with pfBlockerNG?: After my post, I "changed" DNSBL -> DNSBL mode from "unbound python mode" to "unbound mode" and so far i have no issues. Terrible idea. Moving backwards in development history there.

    @fjmp24 said in Notification: UPS ups battery is low: If I remove ignorelb directive, my UPS shuts down after 16 seconds This means your UPS is signaling a low battery. 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 ?

    @mightykong Yes, my system also requires a restart after reboot, and what has worked for me is: service tailscaled stop && tailscale logout || true && service tailscaled start && tailscale up What has worked for updates included a [sysrc tailscaled_enable="YES"] that is supposed to handle tailscale restart after reboot, but it has not worked for me. I am looking into it, and others will be as well. In the meantime, this is my update one-liner command line: service tailscaled stop && tailscale logout || true && fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.90.6.pkg || exit 1 && IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg-static add -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg && rm -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg && service tailscaled start && tailscale up Options: add && tailscale version && tailscale status to automate a first check; and, the "rm -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg" is not needed, but once I saw the suggestion, I decided to keep it.

    Hi everyone, This is a noob question but already tried multiple and I hope some one can help with this. I have a Wireguard Tunnel configured and handshake is successfully performed and I can ping the server from the laptop but can't do it otherwise. Already deactivate the NAT feature and all the rules and no luck. Pfsense and this server is located in a Proxmox Server, laptop is a local. Any ideas? Thank you.

    That would be in the ntop config (not pfSense nor the pfSense GUI for ntop settings…), under its admin menu I believe. ntop can act as a netflow collector so I believe it is possible for it to centrally manage things like that, but that's a better question for an ntop forum or mailing list than here since it would not be specific to pfSense.

    No, when you NAT to 127.0.0.1, that means the NATing device - not the requesting device. At the NAT layer, VLANs do not matter - only IPs are involved at that point. Hope you find a fix for your issue, as I have been unable to reproduce it.

    See - I don't actually know because I've never had to solve the problem. In cases like this I'd normally recommend checking the system tunables to see if its adjustable . If not, I would recommend either a cron job to reboot on a schedule or maybe a cron job to clear the issue as you stated.

    @c0mputerking: computer\king.ca is across town so exteral ip/network  Ok so i need to set notification diffently?? and direct to computerking.ca??  I also would like systems on my LAN to use pfsense as relay to the main computerking.ca mail server is that what this setup is for? Yes, notifications go direct to the mail server for computerking.ca  They're being sent from the firewall so no need for them to pass through postfix. I don't really see the point of sending via postfix to the computerking.ca mail server but, yes, you could use it for that. The most common use for the postfix package is in front of a mail server on the LAN/DMZ to prevent spammers from hitting it.  However, you can use it to apply anti-spam filtering to outgoing mail from LAN PCs and servers.

  • [SOLVED] Squid 3 Package - Reverse proxy

    @marcelloc: You need first to disable web gui redirect option on system-> advanced. Then try to follow reverse proxy menu options. Disabling the gui redirect helped - thanks. I now have the reverse proxy working, bit I didn't realize that to get the reverse proxy working I had to enable Reverse HTTP mode and bind onto port 80. I thought Reverse HTTP was for creating connections (reversing HTTP roles) not reverse proxying… Marked as solved. Thx

    create group in Squidguard. Proxy filter –>Groups ACL then click add. There you can manipulate users about their access. Just put the IP of certain users at Client (source) field. what i have in my pfsense is a group for admin and group for users.

    @arch113: @asterix: Uninstall.. make sure you un-check the option to save settings. Reboot. Do a clean install and re-configure Snort. That worked…  I hope I dont have to do that too often...... If you upgrade to 2.1-RELEASE of pfSense these kinds of issues very likely will not happen anymore.  The 2.1 code base uses PBI to manage packages.  This is a huge improvement over the TBZ process in 2.0.x.  Under the old system, any update of a package runs the risk of overwriting some critical shared library with a different version than might have been placed there by existing packages.  So in that case something will break. Under the 2.1 code base with PBI, each package gets installed in the equivalent of its own "chroot jail" (not a perfectly accurate analogy, to be sure, but close enough for this discussion  ;D ).  This way each package can have its own private copy of "shared" libraries.  In effect they really are not shared anymore.  This prevents the problem where one package overwrites some critical library used by a different package.

    @fragged: 2.0.3 is the minimum supported version for the current Snort package from what I've gathered from bmeek's posts. Yes, fragged is correct about the pfSense version.  Sorry I did not notice your pfSense version in your original post.  Upgrade to at least 2.0.3, and 2.1-RELEASE is even better. Bill

    @tgordon: I have squid 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.3 installed on PFSENSE in transparent mode with squidGuard 1.4_4 pkg v.1.9.5. I cannot get the whitelist to work under the access control section of the proxy. It does work if I put the domain names in the General section under "Bypass proxy for these destination IPs". This is not ideal though as it does not work for sub domains, so I have to add all possible sub domains to this line as well. while using squiguard, you need to include it on it's acls as all requests will be forwarded to it. @tgordon: Also, this is only a 1 line text box, so it is getting very long. You can also include an alias name on this field

    You should update it periodically. A cron job is not recommended unless you know for sure the URL source allows periodic fetching. Some of them state they do not allow it, or say it's frowned upon, etc.
