    @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.

    Hello team, I have a Netgate 8200 running 24.11-RELEASE (amd64) with Suricata 7.0.8_5 package installed. Suricata doesn't seem to start. It loops to red once I press the Play button on the interface. It leaves no logs in the System logs, it leaves no logs in suricata.log at /var/log/suricata/suricata_ovpns933787/suricata.log I tried launching it manually: # /usr/local/bin/suricata -V or # /usr/local/bin/suricata -c /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_33787_ovpns9/suricata.yaml -i suricata_ovpns933787 and I get this output ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/suricata: Undefined symbol "__strlcpy_chk@FBSD_1.8" Thanks in advance, Dara

    @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.

    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 ?

    @luckman212, Thanks for your suggestion. I will check what I have in /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state, and also the RAM disk settings others have brought up. I could learn more about where Tailscale and pfSense store system files. If I find anything worth sharing, I will let you know.

    @LaUs3r Yeah, I added those IPs, but after restarting pfSense, the WireGuard status says “handshake failed.” Also, when I do nslookup us-bos.prod.surfshark.com, I get two different sets of IPs. For example: • The first time I get 43.225.189.108 and 43.225.189.118 • The next time I get 149.40.50.216 and 149.40.50.290 So I was wondering can I add both sets of IPs, and put a “0” at the end of each, and use /24 for both IPs? I reached out to Surfshark support, and they sent me their official pfSense WireGuard setup guide see the guide here in the guide they mention 10.14.0.2 for static routes

    There isn't a way to store that info long-term on pfSense directly. ntop can get some but probably not the detail you want, it would be more for a summary or graphing. pfflowd (or softflowd, see the doc wiki) can export netflow data to a separate netflow server which then logs and records that information in a database, and you can then query or graph from there. The netflow server would be separate software, there have been several forum threads and mailing list threads discussing various free and commercial netflow server options. While ntop is capable of acting as a Netflow collector and server, I haven't had a ton of luck getting it to do what I wanted in the past. It's also fairly heavy in terms of dependencies and resource requirements.

    AntiVirus: If you do not want to use HAVP anymore you can try the new squid 3.3.5 package which includes actual antivirus. Search the forum for the squiod 3.3.x thread. Mobile devices: How are these connected? Via VPN or via W(LAN) interface on your pfsense? In general you can use transparent proxy on squid and select the interfaces where squid should listen to. If the devices are connected via OpenVPN for example then you must OpenVPN to an interface (Interfaces –> assign) and then select this interface on squid. squid in transparent mode filters only http port 80 non-transparent squid filters http and https port 443 but you need to configure the proxy IP on all devices. squid 3.3.5 can filter http and https in transparent mode.

  • Can Snort block when connected to a span port?

    @newbieuser1234: I have never used a span port with an IPS.  Is snort able to block traffic via a span port, or do I have to use an inline connection with two nics?  I want to have my snort box on a WAN switch if I can use a port span.  If not, I will use the dual nic and plug in before the router.  I have multiple static IP addresses.  Thanks. Snort on pfSense is not truly "inline".  Instead, it adds rules to the existing firewall set to block particular IP addresses.  Technically a third-party output plugin called Spoink works within Snort on pfSense to stick offending IP addresses into the pf engine's blocking table. So when used on pfSense, a SPAN port would really not be of much use.  Unless the traffic is coming through the pfSense firewall Snort is running on, any blocks put in place would be meaningless. Now if all you want is just to get alerts, then a SPAN port connection would do that.  Just be aware that no actual blocking would happen for every offending IP.  Only those which actually needed to traverse the firewall would be impacted by any block.

    Is there a config file for the squidguard (proxy filter) page that I can modify how many blocked entries are displayed in the GUI? It limits it to 50 by default. The file squidguard_configurator.inc has a define statement that sets max log lines at 500. Is this meaning max gui entries or max entries to the block.log file? I cannot seem to find the file that has this value in it. Anyone know the location of the file, if it exists and this is possible?

    The box was upgraded from 2.0.1 to 2.0.3 last night.  The php errors listed were from when the box was on 2.0.1.  The timestamp on system_certmanager.php has remained at "Feb 26  2011", if that means anything.

    @bmeeks: @gogol: I have three wishes: When editing rules and after for instance disabling a rule the page reloads at the top and not where you were editing I tried this once without much success.  It gets to be a real issue with the large rule sets.  I did add sorting columns in the last update to make it easier to locate a particular rule.  I can experiment with some other approaches.  It needs some type of dynamic bookmarking. I didn't even notice that the columns could be sorted. That's already something to make life easier ;) @bmeeks: @gogol: Would it be possible to reload the snort2c table with the blocked IP addresses after it has been cleared by the system; fi snort is monitoring this table and writing it to /tmp? This has come up from several users, but I really don't know a good way to do this.  Snort the binary does not and cannot monitor the table.  At least it can't without adding significant customized code to the baseline source code from Sourcefire.  I don't think that is wise because then staying current with updates becomes a big problem.  The GUI does not run fulltime either, and launching some kind of independent process in the background seems messy. I also thought that another process would be needed. No problem. @bmeeks: @gogol: The rule update time is hardcoded in snort.inc as a function: snort_rules_up_install_cron. Now all those pfSense boxes in the same timezone connect simultaneously and that causes timeouts I guess, because when I change the time to something else I never get those timeouts. Can this be made a random time? I can address this, but instead of random times how about the ability to set either the offset in minutes from the top of the hour, or set a specific time of day? A specific time of the day has my preference, but the user must be remembered to set it at installation time. So not all pfSense boxes in a timezone try to connect at the same time. Maybe a small note for the user to explain.

    @marcelloc: @demo: No, I've tried but It doesn't work. Client can access to internet without authentication. Check your firewall rules again. clients will access internet without proxy only when firewall permits. On pf I've created a rule that redirects traffic from lan address:80 to lan address:3128 but it doesn't work. Browser, configured with proxy's automatic detection, can access to internet without any authentication or filters. So I've created a rule that blocks traffic to lan address:80 and a NAT port forward that redirects traffic from 3128 to 8080. Browser now must be configured to use 3128 port, filtered too by dansguardian. If not set, browser can't access to internet. I think it's not a good way to do what I want for my lan, but in this moment I can't find another one…
