    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?

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection.

    If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application?

    Thanks.

    @NightHawk007:

    Is there a way disable this rule i have problems with most websites  because of  this stupid rule . This Started to have more alerts and blocks after i got my gigabit fibre package !

    I dont know if your running a server or not, If your seeing these alerts just surfing the internet just add a fake "http server" in the "snort_define_servers.php" tab.
    Dont forget to define the ports too.

    Moreover, you can edit the snort.inc file and add "double_decode alerts off" to the "preprocessor http_inspect_server:" part.

    Example:

    TYPE: "ee /usr/local/pkg/snort/snort.inc"

    Find "preprocessor http_inspect_server:"

    @Derek Zeanah

    Suppress disables the rule completely.

    What do you mean "first page", can you post a pic.

    A quick fix is to edit the snort.inc and add "no_alert_incomplete" to the "Preprocessor rpc_decode:" area.

    Example:
    Preprocessor rpc_decode: 111 32771 no_alert_incomplete

    I'm also having this problem.

    I found that when you set up pfSense in System-> Advanced-> Admin Access check http squidgard works well. But if you check HTTPS or HTTP and defines a port other than 80 it presents problems.

    In version 1.2.3 I was using http and port 8320 (my default).

    In pfsense 2.0 rc1 is showing this error because squidgard always configures
    redirect to redirect http://192.168.1.1:80/sgerror.php?url=403%20&a=%a&n=%n&i=%i&s=%s&t=%t&u=%u

    Even though you have set your ateriormente that would work with pfSense
    HTTP:8320

    File squidguard_configurator.inc
    function sg_redirector_base_url($rdr_info, $redirect_mode)
    {
        global $squidguard_config;
        $rdr_path = '';

    # gui port, ip & proto
        $guiip = (!empty($squidguard_config[F_CURRENT_LAN_IP])) ? $squidguard_config[F_CURRENT_LAN_IP] : '127.0.0.1';
        $guiport = (!empty($squidguard_config[F_CURRENT_GUI_PORT])) ? $squidguard_config[F_CURRENT_GUI_PORT] : '80'; ////////////////////// the error is here ////////////////
        $rdr_path = "http://$guiip:$guiport" . REDIRECT_BASE_URL;

    The staff should make pfSense squidgard used the same port as defined in
    System->Advanced->Admin Access check HTTP

    I changed my code to cause the port to the redirect was equal to the configuration of pfSense HTTP: 8320, is now up, but I think this is a
    BUG.

    By using aliases and such, usually it isn't necessary to have such a long list of rules. Are you sure there isn't any way you could be simplifying your ruleset to be shorter?

    Any changes like those mentioned in the other thread would be too large for 2.0, so it would be 2.1 at the earliest, if that.

    I'm running it on just the master for now.

    I will setup a test environment next week to play and will update this thread as perhaps we can work through it?

    Fantastic package by the way!!!!

    Absolutely. It would be pretty cool if I could make the package compliant with your setup.

    At the very minimum, we could develop a special version just for your setup.

    The way some applications bind, they don't function entirely correctly with bridging unless the IP they're using is on the bridge itself (which is only supported in 2.0), I suspect that's what you're seeing here. The only thing I've seen to date that has issues in that scenario is nmap but other applications likely have the same issue.

    I've actually tried almost all configuration combinations and I am not able to get the client IP in the logs.  Has anyone been successful with this?  I've read in the 2.0 pfsense release Squid will not bypass pf, and should provide visibility to the client IP address.  I think it is a functionally issue not a configuration issue.  Although, I have been wrong before. :)
