    @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.

    @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.

    @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 ?

    @luckman212, Thanks for your suggestion. I will check what I have in /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state, and also the RAM disk settings others have brought up. I could learn more about where Tailscale and pfSense store system files. If I find anything worth sharing, I will let you know.

    @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

    I probably need to add that I have Squid and Squidquard running with the client using the proxy. So the client cannot get to any url with an IP and port. I take the client computer off of the proxy and it works fine. While trying to retrieve the URL: 10.0.0.30:4343 The following error was encountered: Access Denied. Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.

    to clarify: it doesnt work if you connect you wan interface to internet using an existing proxy (squid or isa server,etc) it does work through nat on routers or another pfsense without transparent proxy, a public ip is not manadatory…

    It sounds like you're using the snort package with pfsense 1.2, which isn't currently supported. Don't uninstall or try reinstalling… it will break your installation, since the files on the server are currently only compatible with pfsense 1.2.1. FYI, those bugs have been fixed, and will be uploaded to the server at some point.

    I'm also curious if this is possible? I have the webgui set on a different port (duh) and I could block this port for all except admins, but this would be kind of annoying when logging in to the gui from another location. Some services I would like to have open on the firewall, so still, blocking the webgui wouldn't be a nice feature. Anybody have any idea's on how to block lightsquid or alter the html output location?

    Most of snorts rules are designed to block against attacks coming over the internet… so unless you expects attacks to come from friendly's, I'd just enable it on the WAN. Regarding your second question, yes, the firewall rule created by snort should block traffic from that IP altogether, however I have noticed some inconsistencies with pfsense and firewall rules (particularly that if you're using squid, firewall rules over port 80 don't work). You should do some testing to make sure it behaves as you expect.

    1Gb RAM mini-itx system. ( this for Home use only ) Here are my settings for proxy server: Proxy server: General settings Proxy interface : LAN Allow users on interface : checked Transparent proxy : checked Do NOT proxy Private Address Space (RFC 1918) : unchecked Enabled logging : unchecked Log store directory : /var/squid/log (default) Proxy port : 3128 (default) ICP port : empty Visible hostname : localhost (default) edit: "pfsense" or your routers name; to fix Squid-icons (FTP). Administrator email : admin@localhost (default) members of my family know how to find me when things go sour. ;) Language : english (default) Disable X-Forward : checked    Some forums check for ip-ranges and mess up bigtime and won't give you access.    (check these sites , "with" and "without" X-forward ;) )    example forum : http://www.evga.com/forums/    test proxy here : http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test Disable VIA : unchecked What to do with requests that have whitespace characters in the URI : strip (default) Use alternate DNS-servers for the proxy-server : empty Custom Options : redirect_program /usr/local/libexec/adzap;redirect_children 8;maximum_object_size_in_memory 512 KB;    I manually installed adzapper and configured the redirection this way.    maximum_object_size_in_memory 512 KB:    Some pictures can be bigger than the default setting of 64KB and won't be cached from memory. (speed boost)    Do not set this too big, balance this with the Memory cache size mentioned below. Proxy server: Upstream proxy settings Nothing, don't need it in my situation. Proxy server: Cache management Hard disk cache size : 1000 default is 100    Remember: Indexing this hdd cache also uses some RAM so don't ubersize your hdd cache!!! Hard disk cache location :  /var/squid/cache (default) Memory cache size : 128 default is 8    This not an absolute setting, squid can grow beyond what you set here. Minimum object size : 0 default Maximum object size : 16384 default is 4 ?!?    default according to squid should be 4096 Kb.    I use heap LFUDA, it's recommended to increase the maximum object size above default to get a better HIT ratio.   This setting is my personal trail and error setting. Level 1 subdirectories : 16 default is 16    More levels increases cache complexity and dependency on hdd speed. For normal home use I recommend default setting. Memory replacement policy : heap LFUDA default is heap GDSF    Increase Maximum object size when using heap LFUDA to increase hit ratio.    too fix in 1.2.1 RC1 package squid 2.6.21 read this topic:    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,11008.0.html Cache replacement policy : heap LFUDA default is heap LFUDA Low-water-mark in % : 90 default is 90 High-water-mark in % : 95 default is 95    Bring these values closser together when running into memory overflow problems.    90-95 = 5% but 5% can still represent are large chuck of cache or RAM depending on your settings. Do not cache : empty Enable offline mode : unchecked Proxy server: Access control Proxy server: Traffic management Proxy server: Authentication Proxy server: Local users Not needed for "home" users. I did not configure anything here all left at default.
