    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.

    @Laxarus This worked for me as well. Though I had to search the web how to edit the file (the easiest way).

    Therefore:

    Addition for anyone struggling to find where to edit files on your pfsense system.

    Go to Diagnostics --> Edit File --> insert the location of the file:

    /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.sh

    Go to line number 1232 by filling it in the Go to line field.

    That line should read:

    s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${masterfile})"

    replace only (leave the rest intact):

    masterfile

    to

    mastercat

    Then follow the above instructions from @Laxarus https://forum.netgate.com/post/1219635

    https://help.zerossl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060119933-Certificate-Revocation

    edit: oh you prob out of luck

    You can revoke any certificate issued via the ZeroSSL portal. Currently, certificates issued via ACME can not be revoked from inside the portal - please follow the instructions of your ACME client for revoking those certificates.

    the gui in pfsense does not have the ability to revoke - you prob have to move the certs to something you have certbot installed to and revoke that way.

    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.

    For 25.07 RC, this worked for me (run sh first)

    [25.07-RC][root@r1.lan]/root: sh # export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes # pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.84.2.pkg # service tailscaled restart # tailscale up # tailscale version 1.84.2 go version: go1.24.4 # tailscaled -version 1.84.2 go version: go1.24.4

    @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.

    Thanks for the reminder, I have been meaning to do this for a while, http://cvstrac.pfsense.com/chngview?cn=11517

    There is also something else before this should work, You will need to create a pass rule for access to webgui and ssh after the block rule. Then disable anitlockout in System -> Advance, then it should work. It should also work for traffic shaper rules for squid.

    It is, but you have to change the squid.conf manualy until the bug ticket is solved.

    running latest and greatest. I guess it was me being impatient. I thought it wouldn't take as long, I finally was poking through the command prompt and it takes at least a minute of better to load with amount of traffic on it.

    thanks.

    @rexster:

    just installed squid on pfsense beta2.

    it works fine right after it's installed.

    but when i start configure things from the gui,
    it gives me error just like the one in my post before this.

    why the options in the gui is not same with default installed squid.conf ??

    Bugs.  Squids maintainer seems to be MIA so we are trying to mop up the issues as they arise but I am pretty burned out on the situation.

    Its broken. When time permits I'll probably take a look at it to see if I can sort that out, provided no-one is already working on it.
    I'd get a chance to try out Scott's flashy CoreGUI.  ;D

    Create a portforward at firewall>nat, portforward tab. choose LAN or OPTx interface instead of WAN, depending at which interface your clients are coming from.

    Ok I finally got around to installing the squid package but im having a bit of trouble getting it to work. I set it up for "transparent mode" but get an "access denied" output. Am I missing something? I was under the impression that no other configuration was needed when using squid in "transparent mode".
