    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?

    @bmeeks So after upgrading to the newest PfSense 2.8.0 everything is now working like a charm!

    Suricata no longer seems to strip off tags like it did before! Which means I can now use my network segmented by VLANs and still use the benefits of Suricata Inline IPS! Very niiize!

    I checked in the Alerts section and it is indeed generating the correct alerts from the different VLAN sections, I put Inline IPS on the parent interface of all the VLANs.

    I assume this is because the FreeBSD version is also updated with the new PfSense 2.8.0 version?

    Because before, as soon as I selected Inline IPS mode, my entire VLAN tagging would break and nothing was reachable until I switched back to Legacy mode.

    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.

    @EChondo

    What's your pfSense version ?
    The instructions are shown here :

    1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png

    A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate.

    @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy:

    I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess.

    No need to wait x days.
    You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    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.

  • Discussions about the Tailscale package

    Hello,
    I am unable to get the Tailscale package to work. The page at VPN > Tailscale > Authentication is stuck. It displays the error "Tailscale is not online," but also shows a "Logout and Clean" button, with no option to log in.
    link text

    This state persists even after performing the following troubleshooting steps:

    Rebooting the pfSense router.

    Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the Tailscale package multiple times.

    Clearing browser cache and using a private browser window.

    Toggling the main "Enable Tailscale" checkbox in the settings.

    Checking the logs, which show the service gets a "terminate" signal and shuts down cleanly; it does not crash.

    Manually trying to delete the state file with rm /var/db/tailscale/tailscaled.state, which failed because the file does not exist.

    It appears that the package's configuration is corrupted in a way that persists even after reinstallation. Can anyone advise on how to perform a complete manual cleanup of all Tailscale files and settings?

    @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.

    Perhaps some default config which wasn't written into a .conf file.
    Go to every GUI windows and click save again to make sure all configuration is written to the files.

    @Seb:

    Just suppress the alert (that's what I did). Joel Esler (who is 'responsible for the detection created for Snort' and works at Sourcefire) says that disabling this alert will not produce any additional cost savings (at least in the case of 'MESSAGE WITH INVALID CONTENT-LENGTH OR CHUNK SIZE' and, I assume, all preprocessor type alerts.  Read the whole thread (or at least the preceding and first messages in it) for more details.

    I suppressed the "MESSAGE WITH…" alerts, and will probably be suppressing the remaining http_inspect alerts. I cleared the logs, and will check them later tonight, thanks.

    in my case, I just removed the WAN which snort was generating fatal erros for and after I re-added the Interface and reset the rules and categories everything worked back. It's probably some kind of software conflict.

    @dvserg:

    You url www.müller.de will be converted by browser to punycode http://www.xn–mller-kva.de/ ( SG view last url only )
    You must use one of services ( for example http://www.charset.org/punycode.php ) for converting you national url to punycode and use this in the SG filter.

    Great! I never heard of that. Thank you very much!

    Hi,

    if you enabled "Not to allow IP addresses in URL" then users are not allowed to use an IP address in the browsers URL.

    To bypass this for some specific URLs/IP-addresses you must create a target and whitelist this target.

    So create a target and add all the destination IPs you want to whitelist.
    The on "Group ACL" or "Common ACL" select this target as "Whitelist"

    This should work - even if "Not to allow IP addresses in URL" is enabled.

    But I do not see a way to automatically use the IPs from pfblocker.

    I just discovered this being new to pfsense.  Not a big deal as I did a backup before hand but I would think 99.9% of the time people upgrading the snort package would want to keep their previous config even if they normally want the config removed if they were to uninstall the package (to keep the config relevant to what is used).  I wonder how big of a change it would be to always treat upgrades with a keep config.

    The categories are only taken from there for the main package list.

    I don't recall though if the column in the Installed Packages list comes from that data or from the package's .xml file.

    @mlafer:

    Hi, but for authentication I need to deactivate transparent proxy :-(, therefore I need to configure every PC, needn't I?

    What about the use of Voucher:
    a) normal user login with password: no Youtube access, but unlimited time;
    b) with Voucher: xx min access to youtube, but still Dansfilter active

    I don't think you would need to configure each PC - other than making sure they are setup to automatically detect the proxy settings. You would need to create a wpad.dat auto configuration file to allow automatic proxy configuration. You can search the forums here to see how to do it…

    The other option would be to leave transparent on and assign each device a specific IP address (in DHCP settings). Of course, this assumes that your boys have there own devices and don't have the ability to access another users device.

    @marcelloc:

    @thetzawko:

    Your reply is very useful and valuable for me.

    Why do you install package gui if you are not going to use it? ???

    Install squid via pkg_add on console this way you get squid without gui.

    Take a look on available package at http://files.pfsense.org/packages/

    Thank you for your instruction. This is my first time experience on pfSense. I had a lot of experience on rpm based linux. But I have no idea to do so on pfSense. When I use squid GUI I can configure basic setup for my environment. After that I edit the config file manually. I think this is a little easy for me. Anyway thank you.

    I need to log into WebGUI and enable it manually everytime I perform an update.

    Every time pfblocker is uninstalled(during update or not) it's disabled to prevent rules and aliases errors

    @Gradius:

    This never happened before 2.0.1 (even on 1.2.3).

    Pfblocker on 1.2.3??? I did it together with tommyboy only for 2.x or later
