    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?

    @bmeeks So after upgrading to the newest PfSense 2.8.0 everything is now working like a charm!

    Suricata no longer seems to strip off tags like it did before! Which means I can now use my network segmented by VLANs and still use the benefits of Suricata Inline IPS! Very niiize!

    I checked in the Alerts section and it is indeed generating the correct alerts from the different VLAN sections, I put Inline IPS on the parent interface of all the VLANs.

    I assume this is because the FreeBSD version is also updated with the new PfSense 2.8.0 version?

    Because before, as soon as I selected Inline IPS mode, my entire VLAN tagging would break and nothing was reachable until I switched back to Legacy mode.

    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.

    @EChondo

    What's your pfSense version ?
    The instructions are shown here :

    1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png

    A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate.

    @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy:

    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.

    No need to wait x days.
    You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    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.

    @e-1-1 said in syslog-ng - send logs using TCP and TLS:

    @bmeeks first of all, thanks for all the work you're doing with Suricata!

    Yup, manual config is possbile with syslog-ng. Myself, I prefer to use GUI methods to minimize errors and configuration drift.

    I was sincerely hoping a GUI method is available. Am already using such a setup, but with Barracudas.

    Guess a feature request is in order for this.

    Or learn a little PHP programming know-how (if you don't have it already) and create a package for this feature. Become a volunteer package maintainer. That's what I did for Snort (when I took over its maintenance) and later when I created the Suricata package. That's the beauty of open-source software.

    hi,

    This, Authenticating OpenVPN Users with FreeRADIUS, tells me that Authenticating works. What you want, is Accounting, as is used by the Captive portal, enforced by the Interim option.
    Simply put, I guess, this isn't possible - not present in the GUI.

    See also https://networkradius.com/doc/3.0.10/raddb/mods-available/logintime.html

    If there is a way, it would be some setting (script ?) on the OpenVPN server side that should be called every xx seconds, so it can question FreeRadius if the actual logged in user is still allowed to stay logged in.

    Plan B : on the OpenVPN interface you put firewall rules. Schedule them in time ?

    SOLVED: I have a Cisco SG-350 downstream of the pfSense box(es). The problem definitely resided there.

    I had EEE turned on on the Cisco SG-350.

    The were no obvious other symptoms of this besides just port 53 on the native VLAN for the trunk between the SG-1100 and the Cisco SG-350, going down randomly within 24 hours. (more substantial test revealed that failure occurred as little as 10 minutes and as much as 21 hours)

    If you want to create a nginx package, i think your welcome to do so. I'm sticking with haproxy package for the moment. And then still there is no reason i can think of to 'exchange' one for the other, they could both co-exist as pfSense-packages on the same installation.

    my 2 cents.. Regards, PiBa-NL

    The userland application is a dead end. Not worth expending effort on. It can never perform up to standards, and has had stability issues.

    All,

    I've been able to get it installed. Apparently my internet connection was so slow that the web interface was timing out before it could download it in time. I was able to get it installed using the command line instead. Next I need to work out why my internet has gone to crap.

    Thanks all.

    @oleg-blecher said in syslog-ng not starting:

    Undefined symbol "g_ptr_array_find_with_equal_func"

    if you have that error after the update it means that everything was not successful

    try from console

    pkg install --force glib-2.56.3_7,1

    or backup your config and do a clean install of 2.4.5 and restore

    that error it's due to a mismatch between lib and syslog-ng

    indeed someone asked for it on freenode. and i verified it was not working.
    we can set that to lower or to upper or set the preg_match case insensitive 🤷
    anyway it will be ok in a few days

    I agree with @johnpoz. Looks like the OP is attempting to install and use the OpenVPN client package on a Windows 10 box either without using, or perhaps by not having access to, administrator permissions.

    Is this Windows 10 domain box perhaps at an office and employees do not routinely have local administrator permission? That would be a typical corporate setup, for sure.
