    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.

    https://help.zerossl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060119933-Certificate-Revocation

    edit: oh you prob out of luck

    You can revoke any certificate issued via the ZeroSSL portal. Currently, certificates issued via ACME can not be revoked from inside the portal - please follow the instructions of your ACME client for revoking those certificates.

    the gui in pfsense does not have the ability to revoke - you prob have to move the certs to something you have certbot installed to and revoke that way.

    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.

    @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.

    @bmeeks:

    I assume this is on a 2.0.x box?  Shared libraries such as pcap, MySQL and others can be a real pain.  That's what is so nice about the PBI setup on 2.1 boxes.  In effect each app has its own sort of "application jail" where it can install and remove shared libraries as necessary without impacting other applications that may have some of the same shared libraries.  In actuality, these libraries are no longer "shared" in the classic sense with the PBI setup. Each application has its own independent copy of them.

    Bill

    Thank you for your answer, Bill, and yes, you are right, this is 2.0.3. I can really appreciate what is in 2.1, and that is why I am eagerly awaiting that it is officially released  :P

    Hi,

    everything on the "Users" tab just works for local configured users.
    The accounting features like BANDWIDTH and AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC on the GUI are just working for local configured users.

    If you want to connect freeradius with MS AD you should check the wiki:
    http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_2.x_package
    There are some discussions - not sure if the connection is working without having samba installed and configured on pfsense.

    When using LDAP for authentication then you need an external *sql database to do the accounting. Then you can do BANDWIDTH and AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC - but you need to configure this on the database but not on freeradius GUI itself anymore.

    Do i have to run snort on the ipv6 interface or just the ipv4 interface .

    It will run on either or both (if desired).

    Through trial and error, I have found that if I use the wan interface IP + Mac address it will open my firewall up and I was very lucky to shut it down before a hacker took control of everything. Basically, I have a router/firewall from my isp that connects to my pfsense box and then it connects to my computer from the Lan side. The attack that I experienced almost immediately which just shows you how vicious these hackers can be. Somehow they punched right through everything using my wan ip address and attacked port 5022 which I looked up and it's called a mice server. Apparently it's main vulnerability is that it can be used for denial of service attacks. Besides that everything else was fine. As soon as I removed my wan ip address coming off the isp router it immediately started blocking 1 ip address from France and 2 ip addresses from the United States. But yes, ipguard-dev is a very serious tool and if there is any real documentation on it could someone please point me to the right direction.

    A can confirm that making the changes helped MBUF.  No more issues.  I didn't have any erratic behaviour so I didn't apply the NIC specific fixes.  Just the increased MBUF.

    @ccarreraalza:

    hello again, my problem persists, I have installed squid3 but does not solve the problem, I have the dansguardian 2.12.0.3 v0.18. How do I update dansguardian without losing data configuration and webconfig?

    You can simply pull the DG executable out of the package you download from Marcelo's site.

    That said, I see no reason why a newer version would solve your problem. 2.12.0.3 DG should be able to connect to Squid and I highly suspect that something else is wrong with your configuration. Can you forget about DG for the moment, make sure squid is running stable and that you can stay connected to it? So… setup squid on the lan interface and manually connect to it as a proxy? Just trying to eliminate variables...

    Yes, that is unfortunately a problem with freeradius2. You can use the one or the other security mode but if you are using both together then it could make problems because it could switch to an unwanted method.
    This is because when configuring freeradius2 by hand you would create different virtual servers, every server with different configuration. (…/sites-enabled/...) but on pfsense freeradius2 uses just one server called defauolt (.../sites-enabled/...).

    So if you would like to do what you described in you post you need to modify the /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc file.
    There you find somewhere the eap.conf part and there just comment the line you do not need, save and then you can use the GUI to do any other changes with getting the eap.conf overwritten with "wrong" code.

    What you just explained sounds pretty close to what I am discovering.

    For your 8GB system I would have expected that allocating 2GB "Memory cache" and 40GB HD cache
    would have resulted in:

    4% of 40GB = 1.6GB

    The 2GB you allocated to Memory cache

    = 3.6GB minimum ram used by squid as the caches fill which is very near what you show.
    I like simple formulas for determining such things.

    Maybe 5% or even 6% would be a safer start point than 4% based on your post.

    Thanks for the post.

    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing along with rebooting but nothing fixes it. This is a fresh box install with no other packages installed.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Did you have an old version installed before?
    Uninstall it and go to the console and open a comand line type "pkg_info" and see what shows up.  It sounds like an old version or something else is confilicting with it.  If you do see and old version type "pkg_delete -f package_name" reboot and try to reinstall.

    I have not seen development for over a year (1.2.X pfsense).  I think the developer moved to to his own site where he develops freeswitch on stand alone machines.
