    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.

    Last I checked it sets delay pools, but you might want to see what gets modified in the squid.conf file after you set them, just to be sure.

    I should point out that this is the slowest site I've seen in a long time.  It could very well be that the site is failing to load fully before squid's timeout is hit and so you're just getting what it has before the timeouts hit.  The fact that your problem is limited to one very slow site is pretty telling.

    On transparent mode squid blocked access to 127.0.0.1 (from php to self system), but access trought LAN ip worked. It's bug or no?

    That ends that mystery. I rebooted the firewall at the data center, it updated automatically and when I went in to edit the file it was already set at "low". Was wondering on the way home how that happened :)

    Can't complain about Squid.
    None of my boxes gets pushed real hard and up until now I didn't have any issues. I better shut up now, otherwise Squid might stop working tomorrow morning…  ;D

    @morbus:

    Does the widget need config data even if it has no config options??

    Nope. Only if you have information you want to save and use for later.

    Speaking of Snort - is it fine to enable all the rules? Are are some not suitable if running an Exchange/Web server behind the pfSense box?

    Cheers,
    Kim
