    Hello all, please dont shoot me on sight, im one of those who kinda set up things by following tutorials and actually see things how they look like on screen. And English is not my native language either. I setted up HAProxy with pfSense package for Nextcloud which works as VM at ip 192.168.1.214. It has self signed cert. I created ACME with Porkbun as wildcard and all that works totally fine. BUT i have big issue which i dont know how to solve. When im acessing by nextcloud.mydomain.xx in LOCAL LAN it serves page fine, but it uses self signed cert. Will someone, please, by example show me how to create working rule which will force pfSense to serve 192.168.1.214 and all its translation or whatever exclusively outside? Bare in mind that 214 has to be able to lurk in 192.168.1.0/24 also, since data storage is served by NFS on TrueNas. 192.168.1.1 (pfSense IP), 192.168.1.214 (Nextcloud IP) All works fine from outside, but from local LAN it bypase HAProxy, and serve nextcloud internal cert with correct domain name nextcloud.mydomain.xx . Well it seems that only bypas cert part since domain works. Somehow it resolve. This is what dig command does from local lan: ;; ANSWER SECTION: nextcloud.domain.xx. 3600 IN A 192.168.1.1 nextcloud.domain.xx. 3600 IN A 192.168.1.214 ;; Query time: 0 msec ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) (UDP) ;; WHEN: Thu Oct 30 08:48:37 CET 2025 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 83 Main problem here is that Nextcloud app go stuck when we are on local network. It does not work since it gets different cert. It does not even ask do we want to accept it or not. Even if does it will be bit weird to do that every time we come home. Many thnx in advance!

    @Greyhat I think it's useful to work with what we've got and figure something out for the (i hope) edge cases later. So for the JSON I figured you can actually use an existing suricata integration by co-opting their pipelines.

    @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 Docker container for nut server?: I am NOT installing docker in pfsense - offcourse this is a big security risk - I agree !!! My apologies. I interpreted your earlier question I think i need to explain what i am asking for. I am fully aware if your netgate router is attached to an UPS you can configure netgate. Let us say you 5 UPS's in your home and you want nut server to read all the UPS's and show me a dasboard about the status of all the UPS's ? - Is there a ready made docker container for client server nut with dashboard functionality? as a request to have something running on pfSense, which is why I responded I believe most people would say that the type of thing you are asking for isn't something you want to run on your firewall. I recommend using a general purpose operating system behind the firewall instead. Mutual misunderstanding I guess. If you want to explore general NUT monitoring, and not something particular to pfSense, I would recommend the NUT Users list as a better place to seek information.

    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 ?

    @Vad-B Interesting indeed! I just tried to fill the Pre-authentication Key with file:/dev/null. I get an crash in pfsense after some time, but when I login again is saved. For me this for after service restarts at least this solves it, including the issue with the routes not being advertised even set in the WebUI. Havent done an full restart of pfsense (yet)

    I had to play with the squid configuration last month, before the GUI made it to the webConfiguration. First off, correct me if I'm wrong, but blacklisting domain names (or anything other than an IP adress for that matter) will require a RegExp match of some sort (check out the squid doc). As for losing the squid configuration, I had that problem too. Its because it is dinamically generated on boot. The 'real' permanent configuration parameters are in the config.xml file (if I remember well) … changing them there will make your changes persistent. I would really, really like to see RegExp ACL's (black & white listing) in the next squid webConfigurator interface. These filters can block dangerous file extensions, which is a must for a proxy on a security appliance. Hope this helps ...

    Did you configure it to listen on an interface? You at least need to hit save once at the config page after you selected the Interface to write the config file for darkstat.

    OK. When I try to fill that blank line instead of deleting it, the blacklist gets added just under the other ones configured and the first line is still blank. Weird indeed. I'try to use it this way and make some tests. Let you guys know if spamd misbehaves. /Exa

    @KiaN: Hmm  :o I have no dspam.conf file, only the sample ! There you go … Most packages will be installed with an accompanying sample configuration file (here: dspam.conf.sample). It should be pretty obvious, that DSPAM refuses to run, because you did not configure DSPAM (i.e. no configuration file). You NEED to configure DSPAM manually, cause there's no way for DSPAM to guess for example which DSPAM backend driver you are going to use. Please read the DSPAM README in /usr/local/share/doc/dspam to figure out how to configure DSPAM appropriately. Regards DAn.I.El S. Haischt

    There is no real problem with static ports. some consider it a bit more secure when the prts are changed while going through a nat, however this breaks the SIP protocol unless you use a STUN server or the provider has some kind of proxy to fix it again at their end. You should be fine. I also would only use the static port option for your SIP device or the SIP portrange, you can make everything else use the default port translation by adding the default rule below the special rule for the sip device.

    @Cry: Just make sure you work from the current fetchmail (6.3.x) as found at www.fetchmail.info. Blah Blah - He surely will use the fetchmail package from the FreeBSD ports collection, cause this is the way to go.

    Set your DHCP leases pretty high so all your users get "kind of static" IPs or add static mappings. Set up a syslog server that logs DHCP leases (status>systemlogs, settings). This way you can get the information you need. However, really detailed reports are not available with the darkstat package. You might have a look at ntop.

    FreeNAS only works with our development version. It's clearly stated in the package notes.
