    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.

    @nazuro said in MDNS struggles:

    @bmeeks Thank you so much - that seems to have solved the issue! And thanks to John as well

    Glad that helped you.

    What really happens is when Suricata stops and then restarts, it makes a call to the netmap device code to first "close" the open netmap interface (when stopping); and then it makes a call to "open" the netmap interface (when starting). The netmap kernel device performs a literal "down" and then "up" cycle as it switches the interface from and to netmap-mode (netmap-mode unhooks the interface from its normal kernel connections). You can see this in your log snippet:

    Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1: link state changed to DOWN Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1.11: link state changed to DOWN Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1.12: link state changed to DOWN Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1.14: link state changed to DOWN

    followed later by:

    Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1: link state changed to UP Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1.11: link state changed to UP Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1.12: link state changed to UP Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1.14: link state changed to UP

    Using the "Live Update" mode for rules updates means Suricata never actually stops and restarts. It keeps running during the update cycle and does the in-memory rules duplication/update thing I described earlier. Since it never restarts, it does not call the netmap code to close and then open the interface.

    @valerica said in How to block facebook.com in pfSense?:

    Host: facebook
    Parent domain of host: facebook.com
    Return IP address: 127.0.0.1

    This means :
    facebook.facebook.com will return 127.0.0.1.

    Did you check that ? (nslookup, dig etc)
    Do you want that ?

    @cubeyglyph For what it is worth I realized my error. I configured the listen port on the firewall the same for both peers, I did not realize that each peer needed a unique port to listen on, I thought it would still route properly. Once I changed the peer listen port to tow unique values both peers came up just fine.

    If you have a Netgate appliance (SG-1100, SG-3100, etc.), try a power off restart. The crypto hardware in certain Netgate appliances can wind up in an indeterminate state after an upgrade. This leads to crypto failures (so problems with decrypting/encrypting things for authentication and such). A simple restart does not fix the problem. You must do a power off/power on sequence to reset the crypto chip.

    So try going to the DIAGNOSTICS menu in pfSense and choose HALT. When the system fully stops (or shutdowns on its own), then you can remove the power plug for a few seconds, reinsert it, and power up the box. See if that helps.

    WARNING! Make sure your box has actually gone into halt mode before pulling the power!

    A bit confused with Apcupsd

    @flashpan You shouldn't need to actually get it to power down, you just want to make sure that it reacts to the events from the UPS. So unplug for 15-20 secs then plug back in should be enough to see if it gets "lost power and power returned". Then just tweak the apcupsd config on pfsense for probably "min time left" or "min battery charge" for the shutdown. Just keep in mind that the Windows server is actually controlling the UPS and you have it configured to "shutdown systems and UPS after being on battery for 10 minutes", so you'll need to figure out how to tell apcupsd on pfSense "shutdown after being on battery for 5 minutes".
    Nice to see that at least you are able to get status. That is 90% of it.
