    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.

    For 25.07 RC, this worked for me (run sh first)

    [25.07-RC][root@r1.lan]/root: sh # export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes # pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.84.2.pkg # service tailscaled restart # tailscale up # tailscale version 1.84.2 go version: go1.24.4 # tailscaled -version 1.84.2 go version: go1.24.4

    @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 am also interested in sample setups. I hope someone who has got this working can explain the settings in his setup. I was surprised by this package for it's rich web gui so i guess full configuration can be done in the gui.

    regards,

    Leon.

    @kirlox_kitoy:

    Is there an issue regarding the running of squid+squidguard and snort simultaneously? In 1.2.3 Snort doesnt seem to work Can somebody attestify that he or she has a working snort and squid box

    I also had issues earlier with snort updating and the whole functionality of snort installed with squidguard.

    Ok, the way is to change /usr/local/pkg/snort/snort.inc file.

    But now I'm looking toward suppress rules.

    This actually works in my favor. I want to give certain managers access to the lightsquid logs, but I don't want them to be able to get into the firewall configuration and doink with it, and there doesn't seem to be access groups for squid or lightsquid, so I can't just set them up with a username and limit their access to only lightsquid. So instead they have no username at all, and they can get to lightsquid, but not to anything else. So it's an unintended benefit from my perspective.

    I am using SquidGuard and blocking certain extension downloads as described in http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/SquidGuard_package.

    The extensions are blocked an the appropriate message returned but the URL looks as follows:

    https://192.168.10.1/sgerror.php?url=403%20&a=192.168.10.20&n=&i=&s=default&t=myBlockExt&u=http://media.music.net/18/SID18402.mp3

    Instead of the IP I would like my server's FQDN to appear.

    I was browsing through the pfSense bug tracker & see someone has actually already reported this. I commented on the bug stating I was having the same problem. Guess all we can do is wait for it to be fixed. However at this time I can't even get Snort operational so the point is moot.
