    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.

    A package itself has to provide an enable/disable setting, otherwise you'd have to uninstall.

    As for PPTP+NAT, try 2.0. Those issues should all be resolved there.

    Thank you….

    If your willing to test a bit more.

    there is code in snort.inc commented out called "Red Devil".

    Try to invoke those options and play with the settings to see if you can get improvements.

    Dont worry about the flow bits.

    These errors on the other hand needs to be looked at. I need to update snort or the alert map file for the missing this sigs.

    "Encoded Rule Plugin SID: 17132, GID: 3 not registered properly. Disabling this rule."

    I am rebuilding snort from the ground up, that's taking all my time, Simply.
    Im working as fast as I can.

    @dvserg:

    And why this is necessary when scanning the flow of traffic?

    This will reduce the download speed.
    A good compromise size of 50-500kb.

    i noticed  many of files downloaded  are above 10MB  i already tackled file of 40MB attached with virus from user download, lucky we have local AV on workstation also but anyway if it could be stooped at firewall that woud be better.

    HAVP allows you to scan FTP Over HTTP.

    Is it enabled automatically?

    Last question i saw that HAVP already in 0.92a version while package version is 0.91 can i upgrade it to that version or there process of update package into 0.92a?

    Only manually through pkg_delete/pkg_add.

    So no plan to update HAVP package soon

    Thanks

    You can test ACL work in transparent mode
    I'm not sure what this situation correct writen in docs(http://diskatel.narod.ru/sgquick.htm), because don't has full testing.

    What you can do for test ACL in transparent mode:
    Set Default_All to deny on Default page
    Add ACL with you subnet and set Default_All ad allow
    APPLY and Browse from you workstation.

    ich hab es endlich!

    manno mann war das eine nerviger akt ;)

    also damit es alle hinbekommen, die es vielleicht noch nicht haben…..

    ICH HABKEINE AHNUNG WOZU DIE WHITELIST INTEGRIET WURDE?????

    was man unter dem wort whitelist versteht, ist jetzt unter "suppress" zu finden ;)
    da kann man clientips für den filter auf die whitelist setzen!
    also das diese an dem snort filter vorbeihuschen dürfen ohne geblockt zu werden!

    hab einfach das erste beispiel genommen was einem dort vorgeschlagen wird!

    z.b.

    suppress gen_id 1, sig_id 5998 , track by_src, ip 192.168.10.25
    suppress gen_id 1, sig_id 5999 , track by_src, ip 192.168.10.25

    mit dieser regel in suppress wird skype wieder freigelassen wenn ihr es vorher mit den p2p rules geblockt habt!

    nur nicht vergessen im main teil nochmal save zu drücken und man muss tatsächlich (habs eben 10x probiert) sein snort für die interfaces deaktivieren und wieder aktivieren damit der shit übernommen wird!

    danach gehts aber ;) und es funktioniert bestens!

    VIEL ERFOLG

    Yes, use squid and ACLs to solve this.  Technically, you could also use squidGuard, although its not necessary.

    Barry,

    Thanks for posting that.

    For the confused, what he's shown is how to configure the use of a Windows Group Policy to configure computers in the domain to configure proxy settings for HTTPS traffic.  It is possible/recommended to do this for HTTP traffic as well, although the use of the transparent redirection of outbound HTTP traffic makes this unnecessary.  The caveats of this configuration are that computers which do not connect to the domain do not get these proxy settings and so are able egress the network without filtering as long as they use SSL.  A good way to enforce the use of the proxy settings is to block outbound SSL to the internet which does not originate from the proxy box itself.

    Again, great post Barry!  Might need to sticky it.

    sweet! changing the gateway to .252 I started getting internet access! Awesome.

    @mhab12
    I did change the webgui to https. I started playing with the captive portal and started having issues. We realized that it appears the the captive portal and webgui must be using the same port (either 80 or 443) otherwise it wouldn't work. Since this is our test environment, we just left it on http.

    We still need to tweak the FW rules but overall i think we are all set. Thank you both for the suggestions on how to get this setup and working.

    I can't wait to try out the other PFSense functionality.

    Correct - you need to setup a Cache Manager password and the relevant ACL's.

    Have a look at http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/CacheManager#Cache_manager_access_from_squidclient for details on how to setup the Cache Manager ACLs.
