    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.

    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.

    @belrpr If you do not specify a domain name in the DHCP server, it will use the domain name of the firewall. This is almost certainly what you want. Unless you are trying to achieve something very specific, I would recommend staying with the defaults (delete the domain name specification from both DHCP and from Avahi).

    This is resolved - it was a bad config error - config file location is alright. New Config is:

    AS xxxx
    fib-update yes
    listen on 0.0.0.0
    router-id xxx.xxx.xxx (1)
    network xxx.xxx.xxx (azure subnet)/24
    group "Azure" {
    remote-as xxxx
    neighbor xxx.xxx.xxx(2) {
    descr "to_as_65001"
    announce all
    local-address 0.0.0.0
    }
    }
    deny from any
    deny to any
    allow from xxx.xxx.xxx(2)
    allow to xxx.xxx.xxx(2)

    If you have all tunnels up together you could policy route using Firewall Rules with timers (Schedule) to loop the traffic.

    Snort LAN alert source ip not local ip

    Think about how network traffic works on a firewall. Once your LAN host initiates a conversation with another external host (through your LAN and then out of your WAN, for example), pfSense creates a state table entry that will now allow that external host to talk back to your internal LAN host. So if the external traffic starts a session it will be the "source" and your LAN host is the "destination". This would be the case if you clicked a web site URL. The web server will become the "source" of the web traffic and the browser and your LAN host the "destination" as the web server sends the HTTP or HTTPS traffic back to you.

    So who is "source" and who is "destination" changes back and forth during operation.

    Wasn't sure exactly how it was started so I was doing it from the GUI.

    That's essentially what the GUI does, but if you run it at the shell you might see an error that the GUI doesn't display

    Troubleshooting issues with Telegraf package?

    V

    I found one troubleshooting tip based on an earlier post:

    https://forum.netgate.com/topic/129002/telegraf-memory-stats-broken-on-2-4-3

    From CLI on the pfSense box, you can run:

    /usr/local/bin/telegraf -config=/usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf --test

    For example:

    [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@ang-router.localdomain]/root: /usr/local/bin/telegraf -config=/usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf --test 2019/04/05 04:30:08 E! Error parsing /usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf, line 41: field corresponding to `arguments' is not defined in `*ping.Ping'
  • V

    Telegraf package is very outdated - any chance it could be updated please? =)

    Ok understood. I can set the 4 BGP Neighboors as Gateway.
    But these are non routable blackholes which request one of our RIPE-Public IP to be the source. Is that configurable?

    Source 1.1.1.1/32 -> GW 2.2.2.2/24

    Like it can be done on Diag-Traceroute for the Source-Interface.
    But now for the whole system.

    iperf3 does json which way better than csv

    To be honest iperf on pfsense not really all that good anyway, its a router - you should be doing iperf "thru" it not to or from it.

    Go to one of the hundreds of places online to convert your json to csv or excel
    example

    FreeRADIUS 2 with EAP-TLS

    patched by me:

    https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/632

    With this patch, when you revoke a certificate you need to go to radius config -> eap and "SAVE" to regenerate the CA+CRL file.

    Next patch coult be add a funcion similar to openvpn_refresh_crls() that should be called from /usr/local/www/system_crlmanager.php when you update all the other CRLs.

    This is my 2nd day on PFSense, so first I need to see if there is a functions file dedicated to components not installed as default and then write the function. Any advice?

    FreeRadius + Captive Portal "Amount of Time" Problem

    @mustafa-azzam said in FreeRadius + Captive Portal "Amount of Time" Problem:

    But I have another question now .. when radius is running, the command (radius -X) will not run?

    Radius is a process you can see as a "server process".
    Golden rule : on one and the same system, you can have on ONE server process that listens to a determined port.

    So, if you launch "FreeRadius" using the pfSense GUI, you have a radius process runnin.
    Example, right now, on my pfSense :

    [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net]/root: ps ax | grep radius 83839 - Is 0:18.74 /usr/local/sbin/radiusd 21455 0 S+ 0:00.00 grep radius

    As you know, it's easy to check what ports it's using.
    When I launch another, second radius process, it will bail out.
