    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.

    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.

    So did see this:

    Aug 9 00:06:56 kernel: pid 115 (snort), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Aug 9 00:06:56 snort[115]: [125:2:1] (ftp_telnet) Invalid FTP Command [Classification: Potentially Bad Traffic] [Priority: 2] {TCP} XXX.xxx:17467 -> YYY.yyy:21 Aug 9 00:06:56 snort[115]: [125:2:1] (ftp_telnet) Invalid FTP Command [Classification: Potentially Bad Traffic] [Priority: 2] {TCP} XXX.xxx:17467 -> YYY.yyy:21 Aug 9 00:06:41 snort[115]: Aug 9 00:06:41 snort[115]: Aug 9 00:06:41 snort[115]: --== Reload Complete ==-- Aug 9 00:06:41 snort[115]: --== Reload Complete ==--

    So to me this looks like right after reloading after new rules are applied.

    Any thoughts would be great!

    Thanks

    I haven't seen ntop crash since pfSense 1.2.3… On 2.0.x it's been very stable.

    What version are you running?

    Yes, tap is fixed properly in 2.1. The package was created by backporting some of the fixes, though not all were brought back to 2.0.x

    You can add that SID to the supression list. It's the way the iphone makes it's connection that is triggering the SSP rule. SSP is Windows only tech.

    Hello Mr. Developer

    please add a verbose or debug output of rules which are not compatible or not working with snort , as an clear error log
    because pfsense 2.0.1 i386 nanobsd vga + snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.5.1 and if activated from the categories/rules "snort_attack-responses.rules" snort wont start and quit with a not showing in that direction, error message.

    you got the error message as in the thread above

    pgrep: Pidfile `/var/run/snort_pppoe139459.pid' is empty

    i have activated all categories/Rules without,(not activated), the "snort_attack-responses.rules" rules and now snort works so far …

    and btw "Enable Sensitive Data" under preprocessor is hard tobac :) :)

    thanks

    http can be done with any one of these packages you have tested.

    https can be done with apache or bypassed by varnish(new gui on development too)

    25, 465 can be done with pfsense native load balancer or haproxy.

    Finally getting back to the original post, I think this is what's causing the issue:

    kernel: pid 31475 (snort), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space

    As a test, I disabled updates.  As expected, snort ran fine until I did a manual update.  The error above was what showed up after running the update.  Restarting snort by hand brought success.

    Is the swap space error helpful?  I do not have a swap partition on my install, as I have significant excess RAM.
