    @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.

    Hello team, I have a Netgate 8200 running 24.11-RELEASE (amd64) with Suricata 7.0.8_5 package installed. Suricata doesn't seem to start. It loops to red once I press the Play button on the interface. It leaves no logs in the System logs, it leaves no logs in suricata.log at /var/log/suricata/suricata_ovpns933787/suricata.log I tried launching it manually: # /usr/local/bin/suricata -V or # /usr/local/bin/suricata -c /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_33787_ovpns9/suricata.yaml -i suricata_ovpns933787 and I get this output ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/suricata: Undefined symbol "__strlcpy_chk@FBSD_1.8" Thanks in advance, Dara

    @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.

    @fjmp24 said in Notification: UPS ups battery is low: If I remove ignorelb directive, my UPS shuts down after 16 seconds This means your UPS is signaling a low battery. Either your battery is bad, or your UPS is bad. Most likely battery, but you never know. I suggest reaching out to Eaton support.

    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 ?

    @LaUs3r Yeah, I added those IPs, but after restarting pfSense, the WireGuard status says “handshake failed.” Also, when I do nslookup us-bos.prod.surfshark.com, I get two different sets of IPs. For example: • The first time I get 43.225.189.108 and 43.225.189.118 • The next time I get 149.40.50.216 and 149.40.50.290 So I was wondering can I add both sets of IPs, and put a “0” at the end of each, and use /24 for both IPs? I reached out to Surfshark support, and they sent me their official pfSense WireGuard setup guide see the guide here in the guide they mention 10.14.0.2 for static routes

    @modesty said in What is stopping googleadds?: @kom Thanks for answer I also disabled squid proxy server service, still get "cant reach" this is what happens if i click on a google add: [image: 1619149360314-5e62636d-55b7-4078-b891-360b262c7606-image.png] You're showing in image of something. "Images" are nice when things go well. These days, video's took,over. When there are issues, images and videos show nothing. You should show us the real stuff : On your 'PC' : C:\Users\Left>nslookup www.googleadservices.com Serveur : pfsense.scotybeammeup.net Address: 2001:470:baba:5c0:2::1 Some one told me : Nom : www.googleadservices.com Address: 216.58.213.66 Also good : on pfSense : [2.5.1-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.scotybeammeup.net]/root: dig @127.0.0.1 www.googleadservices.com +short 216.58.213.66 What is your answer ? 10.10.10.1 ? ((( ))) In that case : reset your lcoal DNS cache., reset the pfSense DNS cache, and you'll be fine. Nothing ? DNS is broken ... Btw : some pfSense packages can really be helpful, I agree. But I didn't know there was a "who can install them all contest".

    @stefan-lazarevic Netgate provides packages for the current and former (2.4.5) versions. If you prefer you can use System/Update to set it to "previous stable version" and upgrade to 2.4.5, then install packages for 2.4.5. Overall, only install packages for your version of pfSense.

    @gertjan I went ahead with the config. I've tried now to rollback to a previous config with the bug, but I don't think I guessed it. Thing is, the issue was there with 2 fresh installs and 2 upgrades. I'm certain the interface was already enabled prior to hitting save.

    @chudak said in “snort *** Caught Term-Signal” errors: @bmeeks I am happy to accept that this is normal I was confused by “A Signal 4 error is most definitely not "normal". Something severe happened in that case to trigger that error. That means the CPU tried to execute binary code that is incompatbile with the CPU platform.” Thx! A Signal 4 error is indeed not normal. A Term-Signal is perfectly normal. They are not at all related.

    No, packages for older versions are not available with the exception of the most recently retired version. So since 2.5.0 came out back in February, you can still change a system setting and install packages from the 2.4.5_p1 branch (the previous stable version), but you can't go back any farther. And those legacy version packages will not track their counterparts in the RELEASE branch (i.e., they will be potentially an older version and will not be current). You have a very old version of pfSense, and a 32-bit one at that. There is no longer a 32-bit version of pfSense for AMD/Intel platforms. So if you truly have a 32-bit only box, then you need to upgrade to 64-bit hardware and then upgrade pfSense.
