    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.

    And now it wont boot at all. Lovely.

    Yeah, that looks like corrupt firmware image. You can open a support ticket with Netgate here: https://go.netgate.com/support/login. There is no charge for getting a fresh install image.

    @provels New thread may be appropriate as I marked this one as solved.

    Check if your Status -> Monitoring is working and showing current data. This runs off the same dataset.

    Other than that you can use the rrdtool command above to check that the database is filling. There is a task associated with filling the database; make sure this is running. During debugging you can turn unix time into date/time format using "date -r" function.

    If nothing works you can try deleting the database and start over. Maybe it is corrupted.

    Good luck.

    I've modified the client exporter to allow peer to peer openvpn servers and it works wonderfully. I really do not understand why it's not a remote access type. In my configuration I need to bridge two networks but still need to allow users to access it

    @dhjdhj said in Package manager empty:

    @bingo600

    Thanks. I guess that if the default branch was pointing a "newer" distro, I assumed I'd be getting notified of updates for it.

    I didn't particularly choose to stay on the older version --- I just didn't know I had to, to have the package manager work properly

    Cheers

    For now the update for SG-3100 appliances has been pulled back (not available online) while the pfSense team is developing and testing a bug fix. The pulling down of the latest update repo will likely "confuse" your SG-3100 box. The SG-3100 uses a different CPU (a 32-bit ARM processor) than some other Netgate appliances and the CE build (which is x86-64 only). The bug affects the ARM appliances only.

    So pointing your box to the older 2.4.5 rep will let is see packages for that branch.

    @serbus I wondered why it had disappeared.

    At least, all it took was reinstalling to recover, and all the settings were preserved.

    So after reading your comment, I installed the devel package and after working out the differences I needed to make that were version related, my OCSP stapling is now working again.

    Thanks for the help.
