    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.

    I concur with sir awsiemieniec, that there is a problem with the script that generates dansguardianf1.conf. I tried running /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dansguardian.sh and the same problem exist. Please verify, Thanks.

    I'm having the same problems using 2.0.3-RELEASE (i386) and the siproxd package. You are supposed to set the "outbound proxy" of your phones to the siproxd ip. For me, this works fine but only for a few hours/days. After that time, I get the same messages from my SNOM phones:

    Thanks PiBa,
    I'm currently not using the http close option for the frontends, but the ACL is configured.
    I'll make the change tonight and see how it goes.

    Thanks again for your help

    @ESWBitto:

    Ok here is the issue. We are using the latest packaged version of snort and have both wan and lan interfaces setup. I can see traffic on my wan no problem, but my lan's are not picking up anything. I know they are working because when I do a port scan they alert on it and it shows the information. I'm now trying to set it up to where when an alert fires it shows the internal IP and the outside IP as the culprit or vice versa.

    When looking at the snort.config it doesn't show that my ipvar HOME_NET is set to anything. I've been doing some research through the forums and the standard is don't modify the config directly use the gui. So do I follow the instructions of others to setup an alias and use the alias name in the whitelist? I'm not quite sure where to go about getting this setup correctly. I don't want to exclude the internal IP's from being monitored….I know it may create a lot of alerts, but those can be suppressed.

    There is a fix for this coming in Snort Package version 2.5.8.  Until then, create an Alias containing the firewall's locally attached networks and then create a Whitelist using that Alias along with the WAN IPs, Gateways and DNS Servers (if applicable).  These are all checkboxes on the Whitelist tab when creating a new list.  On the If Settings tab for the interface in Snort, set the HOME_NET variable to the whitelist you created and save the changes.

    Saving the changes on the If Settings tab is very important.  If you skip that step, then the snort.conf file will not get properly created.

    Bill,

    I completely forgot I even made this thread….To answer this issue so that you can have full completeness and resolution in your life I will let you know the outcome. :P In short yes it was something that wasn't being selected in the preprocessors. I have since then fixed that....I also have done what you do. I set the Policy to Secure (or whatever the third one is) and then selected all the ET rules. So its going good now....carry on with life :)

    On nanoBSD CF-card systems, bandwidthd now stores all its data in /var/bandwidthd on the memory-disk. So the CF card remains read-only. When you reboot the bandwidthd data goes in the bit-bucket.
    I was intending to add an option to save that data to the CF card at a user-specified interval (like you can do for RRD dat) and reload it during startup, but I have been busy with other upgrades/installs of non-pfSense stuff, so haven't got around to it. If anyone else wants to work on that, feel free to submit on GitHub ;)

    It doesn't seam to be.. consider changing to package "haproxy", or "haproxy-devel", which do allow configuring acl's.

    Just to the right of your screenshot "13s DOWN" there should be the colum "LastChk". It could tell you something about the reason the backend is not checking out 'OK'.. Normally it would say something like "L7OK/200 in 2ms". What does it say in your case.?

    @markkus69:

    Hi!
    I need skip from logs in lightsquid an url from determined ip in my network
    Example
    ip 192.168.1.40 skip in logs just www.example.com and log another's one.
    I think is something in  lightsquid.cfg

    Hi,

    By default it is not possible yet. You are right you should take a look https://bitbucket.org/esl/lightsquid/src/dc850187d487/lightsquid.cfg
