    @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.

    Ah, I changed the action to deny both and now I also have a wan firewall rule, which I also had on OPNsense. With this wan rule I can see the blocks already coming now! Is it a bad idea to have the action set to deny both instead of inbound only?

    @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 ?

    @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.

    I recommend postfix forwarder for this job. It does an excellent job of stopping spam bots without any external blocklists but you can add those.

    In the firewall log, if you click the red "X" then a popup will tell you which rule has caused the block.

    @crester: Thank you Bill. I have read the post and it looks it will be a nice workaround until next release. Reading the post, I have understood how pfSense and Snort work together, because I didn't understand very well how was the processes, as I have a 3-way-hands. and flow (and payload) previous the block. It has created me a doubt and sorry, I have just landed to pfSense. What is then the diference if I check "Use IPS Policy"? is in the pfSense roadmap get snort true inline? No, there is no roadmap yet for a true inline IDS on pfSense (at least not that I am aware of).  The Snort VRT folks are actually migrating away from that somewhat and pushing folks over to using Barnyard2 and incorporating plugins there such as snortsam.  My reading of their blog posts leads me to believe they will slowly phase out the Output Plugins API that things like Spoink currently rely on.

    @rjcrowder: @plkmplkm: EDIT: just a question: in this configuration, the squid field "Bypass proxy for these destination IPs" is still active even if is binded to the loopback iterface or i have to set something in the DG config (i haven't find anything similiar)? The setting will not have any effect. The way to bypass Dansguardian (and subsequently squid) is to change your firewall rule so that certain IP's are not redirected to port 8080. For example, I have my redirect rule set to not redirect the 192.168.5.208/28 range to port 8080. Then I can put devices such as the Xbox in that IP address range. Perfect, thank you very much, you're the best  ;)

    actually I don't want it to be transparent. I am using pfsense to simulate a clients network, and all web traffic is https via 3128. I am trying to replicate this in the office before the appliance goes back to the client location. using a 4 port router I can simulate the gateway and point traffic to the pfsense box, I need to understand how to force all https traffic through 3128 and make it work… any suggestions would be great. thanks

    @steve40: I had this same exact problem for weeks and nearly decided to scrap the product out of frustration. Then I did a swapinfo -h and saw that my swap space was 100% utilized and only 2MB in size. Then I realized I had chosen the quick and easy install which doesn't ask any questions and lays out your entire partitions for you. I re-ran the install to disk option in the mode where you get to chose your own layout and made sure to check the swap space allocation and even raised it to 4096MB. I haven't had the problem since. Hope this helps someone out there. Damn… I too did the simple install.

    @qwertz: Also the password is saved clear text in the config.xml. Shouldn't it be encrypted ? It can't be securely. http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Why_are_some_passwords_stored_in_plaintext_in_config.xml%3F

    @Deadringers: hmm I think I may have found out what it was… so I upgraded my ESXI guests yesterday to use the VMXNET 3 adapters rather than the e1000 With this meant I had to re apply the config on my 2008r2 DC to the new adapter - here I referenced that the DNS server my DC should use was it's actual IP rather than it's loopback. I think this was some how producing an in correct result as far as snort was concerned? Because now I have changed it to 127.0.0.1 and I am getting no DNS errors. Yep…I don't know all the super secret details of Microsoft AD servers, but I do know the domain controllers want themselves (the loopback address) for DNS.  Glad you got it sorted out. Bill

    @heavy1metal: Quick question for you, since facebook defaults to HTTPS, what configuration setup did you need to do in order to get it to filter HTTPS? Are you using Squid3? Did you just forward 443 > 8080? You can't forward 443. You have to use an explicit proxy config if you want to filter SSL. Even then, Dans cannot filter the content for SSL (the traffic is encrypted) - only block by address.
