    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.

    @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.

    …. I just saw, that on the WAN interface UDP 16xxx is being blocked! Do I need to add a rule to pass it?

    Jul 4 03:00:53 WAN 217.xx.xx.xx:18113 91.xx.xx.xx:16399 UDP

    You had no rules at all configured!
    What is my mistake?

    Ah, I think I know what it is. The AP that I'm trying this on has "defective" firmware and I need to update it first. Turns out updating the firmware is causing me even more problems  :-\

    Many thanks ! i was sure it's a bug…not it's working fine...but in this way: if that option is not enable and ip is not in list after authentification i got acess denied. It's working like this: ip in unrestricted list, option enable i got prompt for credentials authentification succesully and it's working !!! i assumed this is the good way working(for me it's fine like this) ? but still...local/others way of authentifications are made to bypass the ACLs list in particulary unrestricted ip's ? why it can not be a working proxy for whatever the ip is...and based on authentification ?

    Another thing, my proxy is on wan and it's working fine but it's strange that is working also on lan ! :D of course with my dynamic dns adress entered, it should work like this if proxy interface selected is wan and i'm entering from lan

    It's fine that is working now ! thanks a lot !!

    Could you post screenshots of your
    Common ACL (targets open)
    Group ACL (targets open)
    The target you created

    squid can only block http websites when in transparent mode.
    for https you need squid in non-transparent mode.

    AJungleDog,

    You will need to change your script to update dansguardian xml config using php instead of editing config files.

    take a look on dansguardian.php, it could be a good start to understand how to read and change dansguardian xml conf.

    att,
    Marcello Coutinho.

    ps: before any test, backup your config.

    You might uninstall and reinstall this, at some point in the last week or so I rebuilt that package as it was pulling the wrong version of the code.

    Alternately, there are instructions on the wiki for setting up softflowd.

    @gregober:

    In Squid, I think It is possible to use this configuration directive :

    access_log syslog:local:4

    or

    access_log syslog:LOG_LOCAL4

    This parameter has to be included in the configuration file…

    I personally verified that it was perfectly feasible to include this configuration directive in the "Custom Options" field of the Services > Proxy server configuration page of PfSense. Thanks to to that the settings survives a reboot.

    Once this is done, the messages are sent to a distant server provided you configured pfsense to do so (Status > System Logs > Settings)

    The system log says:

    ... snort[3342]: WARNING: No dynamic libraries found in directory /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules. ...

    Currently it looks as if this is the reason why snort does not want to work properly. Obviously, reinstallation did not work.

    After disabling the snort.org *.so rules and enabling the more or less corresponding emergingthreads.net rules, the system works as expected and offenders are blocked again. Does anybody know where the content from dynamicrules is supposed to come from? The packages from files.pfsense.org seem to contain only an example module.

    tftpd just runs through inetd. That should get restarted if you edit/save under System > Advanced.

    Or kill/restart inetd by hand

    @dataking:

    Is there a "standard" out there for building a package and how to do it?

    this is the starting guide:
    http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Developing_Packages

    basically you build xml files to use pfsense framework and call a php script (package_name.inc) file to check options selected on gui and apply to package conf.

    The package build options and location can be found on github.
    https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-packages

    Thanks for the reply, I will have to look into the DNS solution. I am using the DNS forwarder to automatically use the DNS from my ISP. I have set the DNS in the proxy as well. I still get a proxy error when I type in Google instead of google.com

    Error…

    The requested URL could not be retrieved

    While trying to retrieve the URL: http://google/

    The following error was encountered:

    Unable to determine IP address from host name for google

    The dnsserver returned:

    Name Error: The domain name does not exist.

    This means that:

    The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
    Check if the address is correct.

    Your cache administrator is

    … End Error

    It is not that big of a deal but it would be nice if it just sent the request to Google on a bad spelling or out of date url. Oddly when I type in "Google website" it pulls up Google in a search.
