    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.

    @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.

    Generally speaking, the only way it might matter is if you checked "auto apply" in which case it's best to either remove it before upgrade or at least uncheck that box.

    Otherwise it doesn't matter if you delete it before or after.

    Where people get into trouble is when they (incorrectly) think they need to revert it before removing. That is unnecessary and actually can remove the good code and "unfix" something that wasn't broken on the new release.

    Moved this to packages since the questions you are asking are more relevant to the FreeRADIUS package support for Google Authenticator than OpenVPN.

    It can be used multiple times, it's no different than manually entering the OTP configuration in a similar tool such as Authy or Bitwarden manually, but more convenient. No time limit, it's just a QR code version of the user configuration data. No. Nothing in pfSense directly. Other RADIUS servers may have options for things like that. Check around for things like daloradius which may have plugins for what you want. You can then point the auth at that external RADIUS server and let it handle the user auth and OTP.

    Any time you rely on the user to "self-register" or similar terms for their own VPN setup, it's weakening security. Yes, managing users and VPN configurations is a chore, but anything that makes it substantially easier almost certainly makes it more open to attack or abuse.

    @bingo600 After some additional digging it seems it’s not related to Zabbix but rather unbound resolver in combination with pfblockerNG-devel 3.0.16

    I’m investigating further for now, but stopping pfblockerNG (which stops and reconfigures unbound) releases the allocated diskspace which then returns to the 25% it should be.

    Maybe it’s something related to the new python integration i pfblockerNG and Unbound.

    The Issue must have arisen when I upgraded to 21.05 from 21.02

    I’ll close this thread and create a new one under the pfBlockerNG forum.

    @paanvaannd said in Unable to modify (i.e., install, remove, or reinstall) packages via Web interface + Snort installed but not showing up in Web GUI:

    Thank you for taking the time to help and explain, @bmeeks!

    Per your and others' comments in that linked thread, I'm not hopeful that Snort/Suricata would have much hope of working on my SG-3100 even after 2.5.2 rolls around (I'd link directly to your comment but I can't figure out how to copy a permalink on this site...) so I may just upgrade to the SG-6100 since it's Intel-based.

    Yes, the SG-3100 is not the best choice right now for the IDS/IPS packages. It is due to the 32-bit ARM processor chip in that box. Because of the 32-bit ARM processor and the lack of Rust support for it, it is not possible to run any version of Suricata on that hardware newer than 4.x. That is two versions behind, and no longer supported by the Suricata team.

    I did everything the manual says.

    So I did add 127.0.0.1 as a NAS/client.

    And I did not add Class := "admins" as a reply-item. I tried now but it does not change the result. Still getting "Authentication error". And radsnitch produces the same (type of) output.

    But thank you for the suggestion.

    @gertjan Yup I am on 2.5.1 - just saying since 2.5 I have not really seen as many package updates as I used to. Seems like the updates are just slow - nothing is broken, thanks for pitching in.

    @johnpoz You were right, you need to de-select any interfaces in the tftp proxy so it looks like this, then it works correctly.
