    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.

    @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?

    @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.

    @jamesdean:

    I dont have ipv6. I guess since 2,0 uses ipv6 now so I have to code around this isse.

    I'll look into it after work today.

    I tested this issue in pfsense 2.0RC1 and it works! I don't get any error. It seems that the problem is only in 1.2.3

    Hi,

    I just clicked "Save" in the proxy settings again and gebooted the machine and there wasn't any error code. Fine.

    Another question, please:

    Mar 1 19:49:19 php: : SQUID is installed but not started. Not installing "filter" rules. Mar 1 19:49:19 php: : SQUID is installed but not started. Not installing "nat" rules.

    Is this, because I am not using NAT on this pfsense or is this another "problem" or just "information" ?

    Thx in advance!

    What are the recommended settings for bandwidthd? cutoff and skip intervals?
    I have filter
    "ip and not ((src net 192.168) and (dst net 192.168))"
    I don't want local and or traffic through the opt1 interface counted. Is it correct
    Should promiscuous mode be checked?

    Thanks for the work you have done on the squid package.  Many people will appreciate it when when 2.0 goes RC or final.

    I suspect the devs will see your work here and implement the changes.  The package was maintained by databeestje, however I'm not sure if he is involved with the project anymore.

    Just watch that your 250 GB disk will have much less than that in usable space once you've installed pfSense. Check to see how much is free and then allocate less than that.  For instance if you do have more than 200 GB free and you want to allocate 200 GB you'd enter 204800 (200 * 1024) in the "Hard disk cache size" box. Squid will then manage that itself, according to how it's configured to manage that cache.
