    @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.

    @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.

    @netboy said in is something wrong with pfBlockerNG?: After my post, I "changed" DNSBL -> DNSBL mode from "unbound python mode" to "unbound mode" and so far i have no issues. Terrible idea. Moving backwards in development history there.

    @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 ?

    @mightykong Yes, my system also requires a restart after reboot, and what has worked for me is: service tailscaled stop && tailscale logout || true && service tailscaled start && tailscale up What has worked for updates included a [sysrc tailscaled_enable="YES"] that is supposed to handle tailscale restart after reboot, but it has not worked for me. I am looking into it, and others will be as well. In the meantime, this is my update one-liner command line: service tailscaled stop && tailscale logout || true && fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.90.6.pkg || exit 1 && IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg-static add -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg && rm -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg && service tailscaled start && tailscale up Options: add && tailscale version && tailscale status to automate a first check; and, the "rm -f tailscale-1.90.6.pkg" is not needed, but once I saw the suggestion, I decided to keep it.

    Hi everyone, This is a noob question but already tried multiple and I hope some one can help with this. I have a Wireguard Tunnel configured and handshake is successfully performed and I can ping the server from the laptop but can't do it otherwise. Already deactivate the NAT feature and all the rules and no luck. Pfsense and this server is located in a Proxmox Server, laptop is a local. Any ideas? Thank you.

    @goldenshark Hi, I know this is old but....I want to do the same thing. So in Squidguard we are supposed to able to block domains or even by specific URL's. On the FLIP side of that, we should be able to whitelist by domain or by URL. Therefore, what if I block the entire DOMAIN youtube.com, but then WHITELIST a specific youtube video URL? In theory this should work fine and the only limiting factor here would be THE ORDER that the block or whitelist items are applied by the filter! So for example, In Squidguard if I block the DOMAIN youtube.com with a Target Category and then I also create a target category to WHITELIST the url, www.youtube.com/mymovie, then why would it not work? I can SET which target category gets applied before the other in my ACL's. I would ASSUME, last one applied wins. So any whitelist item would override the block list. So in this example, if my BLOCK list is followed by my Whitelist when a request comes in, Youtube would be blocked first, then ALLOWED by my whitelist. Unfortunately, I could not get this to work. An I have no idea of how squidguard is actually applying filters in this sense. It seems to not be allowing the Whitelist to override the Block list. Anyone know how these Target Category's work in a hierarchy? Also, if you really want a mess, apply a default BLACK LIST in Squid and then it seems that ALL the black list filters get applied last and nullify any Target categories you added. Its not cool, as it is very quirky and sometimes you need to reboot Pfsense to even get the filters to work at all. MP

    @gertjan said in NUT issue with Netgate 3100: @jostermacedo said in NUT issue with Netgate 3100: Cyber Power With a space ;) What version ? edit : See also NUT upsmon : at the bottom of the page you'll find a way to test. Another test : power pfSense from another wall outlet,and connect the USB to the UPS. Have the connection established. Login to to the console and/or SSH. Now remove the power from the UPS. Check the main pfSense logs. And what show up on the console ? edit 2 : You use probably the USB driver "usbhid-ups" : see here https://networkupstools.org/docs/man/usbhid-ups.html scroll down to "Unattended shutdowns" and do what is suggested. Gertjan, PfSense: 21.05.2 NUT: 2.7.4_8 thanks for the info. I'll try it tonight. Joster

    Uncheck "Keep ntopng settings, graphs and traffic data" in settings and save. Uninstall official package. Intstall official package and disable ntopng in settings. Install official "sudo" package (or root login cli) . Open CLI and add packages in this order: sudo pkg add -f https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A12%3Aamd64/latest/All/lua53-5.3.6.pkg sudo pkg add -f https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A12%3Aamd64/latest/All/openldap24-client-2.4.59_4.pkg sudo pkg add -f https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A12%3Aamd64/latest/All/ntopng-5.0.d20210923,1.pkg Enable ntopng in settings. Works for pfSense 2.5.2, amd64. Now you have version ntopng 5.0.2 :) Link for amr (FreeBSD 12): https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/

    @technomilm Try this : Power down the device using Diagnostics => Halt system. As soon as the device is actually halted, remove the power cable. Take a the,coffee/whatever. Put the power back on, boot the device. You should be fine. Btw : pfSense was trying to load some 'package' files. If you were loading any other package, like 'Notes' or 'Cron' you would most probably see the same error, so it's not really 'pfBlockerNG devel ' related.

    As evidenced by the dearth of replies to your question, TOR, however noble its original design and intention, has had its reputation severely tarnished by association with the dark web and its bad actors. Thus I suspect no self-respecting firewall admin would consider putting anything TOR anywhere near their firewall.

    @hulleyrob If I had to guess there are some things in redmine about packages not installing on reinstall, and this one talks about forcing reinstall sort of thing.. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12235 To report the issue you have experienced we would really need some more details, and copies of your config you restored, etc.. But as you said its easy enough to work around.. But yeah it could get frustrating for someone, sure..

    @NogBadTheBad @Gertjan : I received my spare SG-1100, set it up using the absolute basics and installed the FreeRADIUS package on that unit. Exact same issue. So the problem was the FreeRADIUS Server Certificate which was not created automatically, like in Tom's video. Right after installing the package I got the following notice: [image: 1637365313262-ce6fb673-565f-4701-99eb-2e839613f9dc-image.jpeg] This was exactly the same on my production SG-1100 unit. I don't understand why the SC could not be created where the CA was created just fine. I found this other post right here on the forums of another SG-1100 user running into the same issue. Could this be related to the SG-1100 specifically? Anyway I created a Server Certificate under de FreeRADIUS CA and boom the server is running and it is authenticating. Just one question as this is the first time I create my own certificate: The common name field cannot be left blank or I'll get an error creating the certificate: [image: 1637365674945-4a3ac69e-ad16-4081-838b-ffc96bf1bfa5-image.jpeg] However I didn't know what to enter there for this special FreeRADIUS use case. So I just entered a non-existing url. Will that be adequate? Thanks for your help! Pete

    @zoltrix It seems you are correct, if I load nut on a workstation, I can poll statistics if I know the configured name and address without any configuration on the client side. You could make this harder by choosing a unique name instead of the default 'ups'. I don't see this as a security risk, but the nut manual has a section 'Notes on securing NUT' which may be of use. An easy fix on pfsense would be to block LAN access to the NUT port for all but trusted workstations.
