    @johnpoz said in Please help to configure HAProxy to serve certifficate on internal LAN too: Yeah - what part do you not understand if you always resolve nextcloud.domain.tld so that it hits your haproxy on your pfsense wan IP are you not getting? You have 2 options - use a different domain internally and always go to nextcloud.publicdomain.tld, or use the same domain internally as external and run into the problem of what IP it resolves to.. Change your local domain to say home.arpa or .internal or atleast something different than the public domain your using to point to pfsense wan IP on the public internet. You are shooting yourself in the foot trying to use the same domain externally as internally. There are ways around it, but they complicate the setup. For example you might be able to use views in unbound as one way to work around the problem. You could use only host entries for all your resources. But then again you run into a problem of using the fqdn for this service, now always pointing to your wan IP.. And that is great when you want to access the service haproxy is doing - but if you want to access that resource on some other service that haproxy doesn't handle - like say simple file sharing.. You are going to have problems. Since you clearly do not understand how any of this works - the simple solution is change the local domain you are using so it is not the same as the public domain you want to use to get to your nextcloud. This tone is outrageous directed at somebody who acknowledged right off the rip that English is not their first language. How many languages do you speak, John? And safely assuming it's only one—English of course—take it from a fellow English native that you'd do well to say more with less words. You otherwise were directing OP in the right direction in my opinion.

    Hello team, I have a Netgate 8200 running 24.11-RELEASE (amd64) with Suricata 7.0.8_5 package installed. Suricata doesn't seem to start. It loops to red once I press the Play button on the interface. It leaves no logs in the System logs, it leaves no logs in suricata.log at /var/log/suricata/suricata_ovpns933787/suricata.log I tried launching it manually: # /usr/local/bin/suricata -V or # /usr/local/bin/suricata -c /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_33787_ovpns9/suricata.yaml -i suricata_ovpns933787 and I get this output ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/suricata: Undefined symbol "__strlcpy_chk@FBSD_1.8" Thanks in advance, Dara

    @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.

    Ah, I changed the action to deny both and now I also have a wan firewall rule, which I also had on OPNsense. With this wan rule I can see the blocks already coming now! Is it a bad idea to have the action set to deny both instead of inbound only?

    @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 ?

    @luckman212, Thanks for your suggestion. I will check what I have in /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state, and also the RAM disk settings others have brought up. I could learn more about where Tailscale and pfSense store system files. If I find anything worth sharing, I will let you know.

    @Gertjan said in Packages reinstall issue when restoring config in a brand new pfsense installation: @kevindd992002 said in Packages reinstall issue when restoring config in a brand new pfsense installation: ideas Yes, one that works for you right now. Your list :remove right away : Service_Watchdog is it is dangerous, and you're probably not a developer (and even they would not use it). Netgate_Coreboot_Upgrade as this updates Netgate devices only (is Netgate_Coreboot_Upgrade a Netgate device ?). After a pfSense install, make WAN work - and stop there. Install the packages by hand, one after another. Then import your backed up config to finalize the setup. Do a reboot, and you'll be fine. Somewhere on the forum, you'll fuind a reason for why the initial automatic install can fail. It's has something to do with a process that didn't get restarted (or something like that). Sorry, what do you mean "yes, one that works for you right now."? Why is Service_Watchdog dangerous? I have Netgate_Coreboot_Upgrade for the sole reason that I want flashrom installed (I know I can install it manually in the CLI but I want it to keep it this way so that I have a reference in the GUI). Regardless, I am fine with my list, this is simply a home firewall/router :) Your suggestion makes sense but it's just that I had no problems with my other box (same model, APU2C4) when I did this a month ago. That other box even has more packages on top of the list that I posted here. I can install the packages manually (and that's probably what I'll be doing anyways) but I just want to know what's causing this. I have to find that thread you're talking about.

    There are no current plans to do that internally, but if someone wants to write up a package for it, we'd certainly be open to reviewing it for inclusion.

    I too am having this problem. with 2.4.5-p1 I can't cleanly upgrade Squid or FRR, they just hang, even when left for 30+ minutes. I've tried rebooting, uninstalling the packages (that mostly hangs too). In the end I tried; # pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade and # pkg-static upgrade -f But, guess what, that hung also once it got to installing the packages.

    Check your firewall logs for the corresponding interfaces and you will likely see UDP multicast traffic on port 5353 still being blocked. It looks like * doesn't include multicast destinations. I found another forum poster had added an alias for something like this, recreated it, and it solved my problems with Avahi traffic being blocked: [image: 1592896841426-51f6b17e-897c-4b59-8b6c-a2bb50603d3d-image.png]
