    @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.

    @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 ?

    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

    @sgseidel, Understood. I just posted into the developer forum asking for some assistance in getting started to setup a development environment, how to build pfSense packages and that. I am hopeful that I will get some guidance and then move forward in improving the pfSense implementation of iPerf3. Stuart

    @johnoatwork Dude, you have two ACLs in this single rule which are mutually exclusive! So this rule cannot work at all. www.example.net - requires that the host name includes "www.example.net" aclcrt_SharedFrontendHTTPS - requires that the host name includes "example.com" Both will never match to the requested host. So remove the second ACL from this rule.

  • Suricata does not start the interface

    @fox95 said in Suricata does not start the interface: but what does work, is deleting the interface each time you want to make a change to the value because if you don't whatever new value you enter makes no difference. this was the original posters best advice. You should not have to delete the interface. I suspect what is actually happening is the stale PID file is preventing Suricata from starting with the new stream memcap value. Each time Suricata tries to start, the daemon creates a PID file in /var/run/ on pfSense. But due to the stream memcap error, the startup of the daemon is aborted and it fails to clean up after itself (leaving the now "stale" PID file). Simply go delete that file and it should start fine (once you get it happy with the stream memcap value). Notice the original error the OP posted about: 24/11/2019 -- 12:08:14 - <Error> -- [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_INITIALIZATION(45)] - pid file '/var/run/suricata_bce11963.pid' exists but appears stale. Make sure Suricata is not running and then remove /var/run/suricata_bce11963.pid. Aborting! It is complaining about the leftover PID file. Simply deleting that referenced file will let it start. The reason deleting the interface appears to work is that each time an interface is created, a new UUID is also created. So that 11963 number that is part of the file name will change when a new interface is created, and therefore the daemon will not detect an "existing" file matching the new UUID.

    Yes, system patches is for seldom issued bug fixes between releases. But it doesn't cost you anything to install, and will be there should you need it.

    @norvik-it Ah, ok, nice example of taking care of a sick person with a shotgun. I use pfBlockerng-devel with dnsbl myself. It's web server doesn't "stop" like that every minute. The PID is here (according to the info found in the pfBlockerng-devel lighty webserver config file here /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl_lighty.conf ) : /var/run/dnsbl.pid The process number is in that file : does it really stops every minute ? All the others : SquidGuard, ntopng iperf ClamAV ICAP are part of the 'do not belong on a firewall anyway (my opinion). I've installed this 'Service Watchdog' package and added a task : [image: 1665136084300-d9a1111e-b619-4028-9580-7a90f6642019-image.png] Unselecting the notification box will stop sending you mails. The issue is now a bit solved. Next step : check if the service is really stopped. And if so, why / by who / what reasons ?! Example : [22.05-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.xxxxx.net]/root: cat /var/run/dnsbl.pid 4622 [22.05-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.xxxxx.net]/root: ps ax | grep '4622' 4622 - S 0:00.02 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd_pfb -f /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl_lighty.conf 35843 1 S+ 0:00.00 grep 4622 So the process running. If all these process are really killed on your system every minute, I can advise you to do one thing : Remove / disable all these packages. Or, as stated above, find the reason why they are dying on your pfSense, or are getting killed. Remove the issue for each of them. Example : if free RAM gets low, the system will kill processes, this is known as the OOM (Out Of Memory) event. Restarting them in that case is a really bad idea.

    @ppcm The export bundle is an self-extracting 7-zip. You can simply open it with the 7-zip FM and rename the .ovpn file.
