    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.

    @fxandrei Found this thread via Google. And I figured out what OP did, so here's the explanation:

    In the pfSense webpage do:

    Click on "Services" Select "Acme Certificates" Edit any of your certificate entries by clicking on the pencil icon. Scroll to the bottom of the certificate edit page and find the "Actions list" section. Click on "Add" to add a new action and fill out the information as needed. For HAProxy restarting do: Mode: Enabled Command: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/haproxy.sh restart Method: Shell Command And finally "Save" at the bottom of the cert edit page.

    As far as I can tell, the above action seems to propagate to all certificates that I have, not just a single one. I am not sure if this is just a visual bug, but just something to be aware of.

    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.

    Hopefully this helps you and anyone else that finds this thread via searching.

    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.

    Interesting.  We might be able to modify that script to attempt to start 3 times and sleep 60 seconds in between each which might just get us past this bug.  Please file a bug report and I will discuss with nick.  Thanks!

    Cool thanks

    I didnt end up using that image, as i wanted VGA out not console :/  so i installed the full install and changed /etc/platform to embedded

    pfflow works but lots just say its mostly useless :( it seems to combine all interface traffic in and out in the 1 interface's in information so unfortunitly its not much use

    im waiting for 1.2 to go final/stable and upgrade but i dont think it will by the time I need to install the firewall

    The UPnP package was created before UPnP was integrated into the base pfSense install. You should not install the UPnP package if your version of pfSense has it built in. It is disabled by default. You can change the settings and select the interface for it to run on via the webgui -> services -> upnp. You can view the current port mappings via the webgui -> status -> upnp.

    I had the same issue. I just change the "performance" drop-down from "ac-sparsebands" to "ac-banded" and snort started up normally.

    Incidentally, here are the CIDRs which I use in spamd's "SpamD Whitelist".  (My patches also pre-populate the spamd whitelist with these the first time spamd notices the whitelist is empty.  The whitelist is pre-populated only once and only if it is empty.)

    Please test this fix by uploading to System -> Firmware update

    http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/1.0.1-tcpdumpfix.tgz

    If it works okay for you I will release the update ASAP.  PS: after installation please verify that your filter logs show up in Diagnostics -> System Logs

    I had a similar issue: nothing to graph… the bandwidthd log files log.1.0.cdf, log.2.0.cdf... were empty.
    I switch my WAN interface from DHCP to fixed ip and voila it started to graph.

    Now i'm looking for a way to add multiple subnet in bandwidthd config by using pfsense xml config... anyone did this?
