    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.

    @fxandrei Found this thread via Google. And I figured out what OP did, so here's the explanation:

    In the pfSense webpage do:

    Click on "Services" Select "Acme Certificates" Edit any of your certificate entries by clicking on the pencil icon. Scroll to the bottom of the certificate edit page and find the "Actions list" section. Click on "Add" to add a new action and fill out the information as needed. For HAProxy restarting do: Mode: Enabled Command: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/haproxy.sh restart Method: Shell Command And finally "Save" at the bottom of the cert edit page.

    As far as I can tell, the above action seems to propagate to all certificates that I have, not just a single one. I am not sure if this is just a visual bug, but just something to be aware of.

    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.

    Hopefully this helps you and anyone else that finds this thread via searching.

    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.

    If you can see ident auth helpers at filesystem, you can enable it including all directives you need on squid custom options at package gui or edit squid.inc file to include your conf.

    Ident can be easily forged, consider changing your auth method.

    Looks like FreeBSD decided to change /dev/ttyd0 to /dev/ttyu0.

    Changing the port in /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf to /dev/ttyu0, as described in the link below, "fixes" the problem.

    I got the OpenBSD files to download, but the other sites I have in there for spamhaus.org and spamcop don't seem to go get anything, so I'm guessing I will need to stick with file/list downloads for now.  The one thing I am not too sure on is when does the system do updates to the database or list the blacklist items?  Right now I'm seeing only whitelist numbers and 0s for blacklist.  Yesterday they were all 0s, so sometime in the evening/late the database was populated.

    Should I worry about greylist; it seems beneficial, but I'm just curious if it is going to block anything other than port 25 traffic requests.

    Thanks!

    Thanks TommyBoy for the link. I've been wasting hours of my time looking for phpSysInfo for pfSense 2.0 with nobody on IRC responding to my request. So finding anything at all was a blessing. Thanks again.

    I ever did it several times. Is there a mode of correct this issues without uninstall/install the packages? I think that it is a problem that affect the squid package permissions in use the squidguard. Can someone help me about set the correct permissions? Thanks a lot!  ???

    The squid memory usage depends on many things. On is your HARD DISK CACHE size. Every GB HDD is using ~10-15MB RAM.
    The 256MB of RAM is NOT the maximum squid is using. It is the MINIMUM squid uses. If squid needs more RAM it takes more RAM.

    But you do not have to worry. If squid is using mem and hdd it is a good sign because than squid is working as it should - caching.

    The high and low watermakrs will prevent your system to overload. If HDD or RAM reaches low water mark than squid starts to throw out "old" files. High watermark increases speed of throwing things out of mem and cache.

    Hi,
    I confirm you that picolcd driver now works only on x86, to let it work on x64 we should upgrade the package to lcdproc 0.5.4 (see http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,41060.msg212067.html#msg212067)

    After each package upgrade you need to do these changes again in squid.inc.
    But you do not need to reboot the box for the changes to take effect. After changing the squid.inc by hand just go to Services -> Proxy Server and then just click "save" in the "general" tab and than an new squid.conf will be created.

    I've also posted over in the Packages forum since I didn't realize there was a forum specifically for that.  Hopefully the double-post isn't a problem.
