    @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.

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.

    It seems to have fixed itself. I had to put 2.0.3 back on and then perform the updates to get Havp running. When I upgraded again to 2.1 it started just fine.

    How many interfaces is lightsquid supposed to report on for you? Are there firewall rules that would prevent all the interfaces from seeing each other? In services > proxy server > access control in the External Cache-Managers, is the IP for all of the interfaces you are attempting to monitor listed there?

    /usr/local/pkg/autoconfigbackup.inc It sounds like your system has some autoconfigbackup setting enabled (or maybe just having the package mentioned in the config is enough) and thus various operations on the system try to invoke that automagically. But the "inc" file is only half there. I would get the file from GitHub - https://raw.github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/master/config/autoconfigbackup/autoconfigbackup.inc - copy the raw code from the GitHub raw display. Use Diagnostics->Edit File to open /usr/local/pkg/autoconfigbackup.inc , select all, paste the good code over the top, save. Now the code should be callable. Then you can access System->Packages and (hopefully) remove or reinstall or whatever you want.

    Well then… I think it might be worth your time to go ahead with a 64GB install just to say you did if you can lay your hands on more RAM later. RAM can be had for cheap and running squid with a RAM cache makes things speedy. You can simultaneously fulfil your childish-gimmicky love of the word 64-bit while preparing for future upgrade. Its supported.  http://ark.intel.com/products/59682 [image: pebkac.jpg] [image: pebkac.jpg_thumb]

    Well - I only run squid at home here and with a house full of people banging away on keyboards it takes weeks to fill 25000 of disk cache for me.  Assuming the cache isn't stale, that might = better performance, but I'd bet it would make a much bigger difference if a couple hundred people were on it or more.

    Personally, I think the blacklists from Squidblacklist.org are much better than the ones from Shallalist.de that are the default with SquidGuard.  8)

    @Amirkabir: Have you changed files like globals.inc? for example, product_website must be valid. I haven't edited any files, I went in and looked at the file you mentioned and that variable points to "www.pfsense.org" EDIT I've been fighting with this for several hours with no luck and now out of the blue it works… It's baffling to me why it would suddenly start working without me doing anything, but I guess i can't complain >_>

    @dvserg: The Squid/SquidGuard can not take users/groups from User Manager. Look exists Squid auth methods - squid have self local users list & it is (usernames) also can be used with SquidGuard. Squid - master application, that defined how users will be identified; and, the squidGuard - a slave application, that only receives this usernames for filtering. Nice a straight answer thanks so much!  I will look in to this and I will also be clicking your thanks button! DrClaw

    I tried everything above and still did not solve the problem for me – barnyard2 would not start on reboot. I had to reinstall snort each time. A simple symlink solves the problem though. See my reply in this other thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,65090.msg362664.html#msg362664

    @michel2013: Hi, I was looking for a certain package that can show(prefere html view) status of several static ip address within the network (Access Points) . And it would be great if PfSense can sent a email when one of the configured IP's is down. For example: IP                                Status                              Up or down since 192.168.1.201            up                                    2013-09-09 5:12 AM 192.168.1.202            up                                    2013-09-09 5:12 AM 192.168.1.202            down                                2013-06-05 1:45 PM If this can not be done , is there maybe an easy way to include a PHP page within the PfSense admin environment to implement this functionality? I don't know if this will help you much but if you have a PC with Windows there are 2 tools I find useful in this instance. http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/  <– Great tool to see whats happening now and link to connect to various services and devices. http://www.overlooksoft.com/fing This will do what you want on demand.  It keeps track of all the computers as they appear and lets you know if there offline.  If you have a VPN you can access it right from your smart phone from anywhere. Hope you find these useful. DrClaw
