    @johnpoz said in Please help to configure HAProxy to serve certifficate on internal LAN too: @ha11oga11o if you resolve nextcloud.mydomain.xx to your external IP, ie the same one public people do then it would be handled by your haproxy. Example I have ssl offloading for external users for the public fqdn something.mydomain.tld - this resolves externally to my public IP that hits pfsense wan, this also resolves to my public IP when on my local network, so again haproxy handles the ssl, etc. But if I wanted or needed to access that directly on my local lan then I use its name.home.arpa:port that the service is on that doesn't do ssl, etc. What is the point of using the same fqdn internally and externally? What do you think that gets you other than issues? On this case problem is that phone nextcloud client hangs when switching out and in. Simply cannot be used when inside LAN. Well, it can be used either out or in. But to switch it it needs to be totally reset and sync. It remember which connection is allowed, at which cert. And sticks on that. Basically its useless until i sort this out to behave exactly same out and in. I cant believe no one had similar issue at home lab self hosted?? Im sure someone had need to do things like this? Thank you again.

    @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.

    @carlinix said in DNSBL blockpage only works with root domain: Meaning http://detectportal.firefox.com/ redirects to the DNSBL blockpage with the blocked domain info "This website detectportal.firefox.com has been blocked by the Network Administrator!" I presume that "detectportal.firefox.com" is just an example here. But ... be aware that this URL shouldn't be blocked if possible for two reasons : The resource requested returns just a 8 byte 'page' : it says 'success'. This URL is most probably be used by the OS or app on a device (probably Firefox ) to detect the presence of a captive portals on the connected network.

    @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 ?

    I was on PfSense version 23.xx (don't recall the xx) and was able to start the Wireguard service. I upgraded to the 25.11 beta version and now the Wireguard service will not even start. I am on Wireguard version 2.1, and I see that there are versions that go up to 2.9. How do I upgrade to a later version? The only version in the pfSense updater is 2.1. Thank you

    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!

    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.) 72.14.192.0/18 Google Mail 64.233.160.0/19 Google 66.102.0.0/20 Google 66.249.64.0/19 Google 72.14.224.0/18 Google 216.239.32.0/19 Google 216.155.192.0/20 Yahoo 68.142.192.0/18 Yahoo 209.191.64.0/18 Yahoo 209.73.160.0/19 Yahoo 66.135.192.0/19 eBay 127.0.0.0/8 Localhost If anyone else has any useful CIDRs for whitelist, please post them.

    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?
