    @johnpoz said in Please help to configure HAProxy to serve certifficate on internal LAN too: Yeah - what part do you not understand if you always resolve nextcloud.domain.tld so that it hits your haproxy on your pfsense wan IP are you not getting? You have 2 options - use a different domain internally and always go to nextcloud.publicdomain.tld, or use the same domain internally as external and run into the problem of what IP it resolves to.. Change your local domain to say home.arpa or .internal or atleast something different than the public domain your using to point to pfsense wan IP on the public internet. You are shooting yourself in the foot trying to use the same domain externally as internally. There are ways around it, but they complicate the setup. For example you might be able to use views in unbound as one way to work around the problem. You could use only host entries for all your resources. But then again you run into a problem of using the fqdn for this service, now always pointing to your wan IP.. And that is great when you want to access the service haproxy is doing - but if you want to access that resource on some other service that haproxy doesn't handle - like say simple file sharing.. You are going to have problems. Since you clearly do not understand how any of this works - the simple solution is change the local domain you are using so it is not the same as the public domain you want to use to get to your nextcloud. This tone is outrageous directed at somebody who acknowledged right off the rip that English is not their first language. How many languages do you speak, John? And safely assuming it's only one—English of course—take it from a fellow English native that you'd do well to say more with less words. You otherwise were directing OP in the right direction in my opinion.

    @kabeda If memory serves, that old version of ntopng did not run as user ntopng, but as user nobody. There are lots of problems in that old version. Anyway, check the ownership and permissions of /var/db/ntopng and make sure it matches the user that ntopng runs as. You may need to set ownership of the entire hierarchy. Example: /usr/sbin/chown -R nobody:nobody /var/db/ntopng However, the better choice would be to upgrade to a more recent version.

    @netboy said in is something wrong with pfBlockerNG?: After my post, I "changed" DNSBL -> DNSBL mode from "unbound python mode" to "unbound mode" and so far i have no issues. Terrible idea. Moving backwards in development history there.

    I am using the DNS-Update method I have to use a DNS-Sleep of 5 minutes to let the letsencrypt txt dns record update propagate. During this 5 minutes the acme-webgui times out. when the acme-webgui times out the Action list is NOT executed. How can I solve this ? Would it maybe be an idea to let the acme.sh script execute the actions in the action list as a post-hook instead of the web-gui? Or maybe add an option to add post-hooks in the webUI ?

    @luckman212 I had a nice chat with Netgate Support Bot, https://www.netgate.com/support. I added some highlights below: "Netgate Support Bot This is a known issue reported by multiple users: enabling Tailscale with sysrc tailscaled_enable="YES" does not always auto-start Tailscale after a pfSense reboot. The current workaround is to run the following after each reboot manually: service tailscaled stop && tailscale logout || true && service tailscaled start && tailscale up" "Netgate Support Bot Based on all available Netgate forum reports, there is no conclusive evidence that the failure to auto-start Tailscale after reboot when using sysrc tailscaled_enable="YES" is specifically due to Tailscale’s state being stored in a RAM disk. The root cause is still under investigation by the community. Most users confirm that a manual restart is required post-boot regardless of RAM disk settings." I will check the RAM Disk settings to learn more, but given others' lack of success, I will not experiment with it at this time. Here's what the Chatbot has to say: "Netgate Support Bot Yes, you can disable the RAM disk for /var to test if it helps persist Tailscale's state across reboots. Disabling the RAM disk for /var moves log files, RRD graph data, DHCP leases, and package data storage back to disk instead of volatile memory. Impacts and considerations: The firewall will write these files directly to disk, so settings and logs will persist through reboots and power losses. Packages that write to /var, including Tailscale and packages like pfBlockerNG, Snort, or Squid, will have better persistence. However, disk write activity will increase, especially for logging, RRD data, and DHCP leases. Disabling the RAM disk reduces the risk of data loss after an improper shutdown, but you may lose some of the benefits (e.g., lower disk wear) intended for devices with fragile storage (e.g., low-cost flash or SD cards). Some packages may behave differently on disk vs RAM disk and should be tested after reboot. To disable the RAM disk: Go to System > Advanced > Miscellaneous > RAM Disk Settings in pfSense. Uncheck 'Use RAM Disks' for /var, then Save and Reboot. If you use logging or packages that need persistent state (like VPNs, reporting, DHCP), disabling the RAM disk usually increases reliability but may wear storage more."" "Netgate Support Bot There is no direct evidence in available Netgate forum discussions that deleting the contents of /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state resolves Tailscale's reboot persistence issue. Most reports focus on restarting the Tailscale service or re-running the 'tailscale up' command after reboot, rather than deleting state files. Deleting this directory could clear a corrupted state or force a fresh authentication. Still, it may also remove valid connections or authentication data, requiring you to re-authenticate Tailscale after reboot. This approach might temporarily resolve glitches caused by a stale state. It is still not an established solution for reboot persistence, and you should only try it with the expectation that re-authentication will likely be required afterward. Always back up any config or state you plan to remove, just in case."

    @subhan2k, I guess you only have issues with the domain name when trying to add the static route. What you could do is to add a static route like the following: us-bos.prod.surfshark.com resolves to 43.225.189.108 and 43.225.189.118. Regarding the static route in pfSense: destination network: 43.225.189.0 / 24 (/24 is the key here)

    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.
