    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.

    @MacUsers

    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.

    @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.

    There was no issue with HAProxy.
    The issue was related with my Apache config, sorry for that.
    I'm now using mod_remoteip instead of deprecated mod_rpaf and appropriate log format options.

    On HAProxy side, it's only required to select option 'Use "forwardfor" option' in the frontend, as described in below documentation:
    https://github.com/PiBa-NL/pfsense-haproxy-package-doc/wiki/haproxy_pass_clientip_to_webserver

    Thank you @PiBA. I changed my actions so that they use the ACLs. Works quite nicely.
    Regarding IP Filter / Authentication I found this article:
    https://hochwald.net/user-authentication-with-haproxy-on-pfsense/
    I have not tried it, yet but I really prefer authentication over IP filter since you do not see if the filter works when you come from an authorized IP.
    I would have preferred an LDAP user backend but a static user list will suffice for me, too.

    @PiBa
    Thank you for your reply. That lead me to another interesting thing.
    In pfSense's WebGUI the right certificate is chosen. I have a look into /var/etc/haproxy/shared_frontend and did:

    openssl x509 -in ip.domain1.net -text -noout

    And baam, the common name is 'images'. The letsencrypt certificate though had a wrong CN configured so that's what this is.

    @johnpoz first off, I'm dismayed that you are belittling my request for support. If I wanted advice on how to best connect a remote printer, I would have asked that in the appropriate section of the forum.

    I've done the research and determined that a VPN is not the best solution. I don't (nor likely will) have any ability to change the network setup on the distant side of the solution. In most cases, they are built using off the shelf products that typically leverage one or two very common Class C network IP ranges. This would require a rather complicated split-tunneling VPN solution a user would need to manually start. I would also add that a proper VPN deployment is much more than running a wizard and dumping out a config file. As I received no such support, I spent hours researching solutions on my own. Here is what I've built, tested, and fielded, for folks out there actually looking for a solution:

    Most printers using standard IP printing use port 9100 and the RAW protocol over TCP.

    Local Side
    pfSense Firewall w/ stunnel add-on installed

    pfSense Stunnel Config:
    Listen On Port: 9100 (Can be whatever you like, as long as it matches the stunnel config file on the distant side.)
    Redirects to IP: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (Printer IP attached to the LAN (or better, a DMZ))
    Redirects to Port: 9100
    Custom Options: PSKsecrets = /conf/stunnel_psk.txt

    stunnel_psk.txt contains a list of identities and preshared keys in the format ID:Key. pfSense even provides a handy editor under Diagnostics once the file is created in the conf directory.

    Create WAN firewall rule to pass inbound TCP traffic on 9100. (Even better, only allow connections from specific public IPs you need to print from.)

    Distant Side
    Install standard stunnel from: www.stunnel.org then enable running as Windows service.
    Edit stunnel config file:

    ; encrypt outbound printing
    [Remote_Printing_9100]
    client = yes
    accept = 127.0.0.1:9100
    connect = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9100 (Public IP and the "Listen on Port" of pfSense firewall.)
    PSKsecrets = psk.txt
    PSKidentity = ID

    Create psk.txt in the same folder as the config file and past the same ID:Key combination from stunnel_psk.txt and restart the stunnel service.

    Then simply change the IP port of the printer to the local host and enjoy!

    I just ran into another FreeRadius question, an found this :

    clog /var/log/system.log | grep "FreeRADIUS: User"

    Run it yourself on your system.
    Console access or SSH, option 8.

    Now, when user logs in, you have it's user name, right ?!
    Let say, the user is called "107"

    What about this :

    clog /var/log/system.log | grep "FreeRADIUS: User 107"

    Now, take the last line :
    clog /var/log/system.log | grep "FreeRADIUS: User 107"

    clog /var/log/system.log | grep "FreeRADIUS: User" | tail -1

    My idea is : when you make your own portal login page
    and
    portal error page (the page where the red error shows teh somewhat misleading : ""invalid credential"")

    Edit this error page, and add some PHP code that executes these shell commands - and if there is some result (read : useful messages).
    Show the result on the error page !

    Something like :

    User x has reached the daily amount of upload and download traffic (124 MB of 8 MB). The login request was denied.

    Now, all you need to do is scripting this together using some PHP and the commands you found above, and put it into the captive portal error page.

    Doesn't matter if you're on -p2 or -p3 the stunnel package is the same. You should be on -p3. The problem in this thread has been solved. If you have a new problem, upgrade to the most current release and package version and post the details of your problem in a new thread.

    I have been using the freerad package on pfsense for years, for sure since May of 2014 when got first unifi AP.. And for sure you had to setup nas client for it to work... I distinctly recall doing testing and having to put that in place.
