    Hello all, please dont shoot me on sight, im one of those who kinda set up things by following tutorials and actually see things how they look like on screen. And English is not my native language either. I setted up HAProxy with pfSense package for Nextcloud which works as VM at ip 192.168.1.214. It has self signed cert. I created ACME with Porkbun as wildcard and all that works totally fine. BUT i have big issue which i dont know how to solve. When im acessing by nextcloud.mydomain.xx in LOCAL LAN it serves page fine, but it uses self signed cert. Will someone, please, by example show me how to create working rule which will force pfSense to serve 192.168.1.214 and all its translation or whatever exclusively outside? Bare in mind that 214 has to be able to lurk in 192.168.1.0/24 also, since data storage is served by NFS on TrueNas. 192.168.1.1 (pfSense IP), 192.168.1.214 (Nextcloud IP) All works fine from outside, but from local LAN it bypase HAProxy, and serve nextcloud internal cert with correct domain name nextcloud.mydomain.xx . Well it seems that only bypas cert part since domain works. Somehow it resolve. This is what dig command does from local lan: ;; ANSWER SECTION: nextcloud.domain.xx. 3600 IN A 192.168.1.1 nextcloud.domain.xx. 3600 IN A 192.168.1.214 ;; Query time: 0 msec ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) (UDP) ;; WHEN: Thu Oct 30 08:48:37 CET 2025 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 83 Main problem here is that Nextcloud app go stuck when we are on local network. It does not work since it gets different cert. It does not even ask do we want to accept it or not. Even if does it will be bit weird to do that every time we come home. Many thnx in advance!

    @Greyhat I think it's useful to work with what we've got and figure something out for the (i hope) edge cases later. So for the JSON I figured you can actually use an existing suricata integration by co-opting their pipelines.

    @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.

    @netboy said in Docker container for nut server?: I am NOT installing docker in pfsense - offcourse this is a big security risk - I agree !!! My apologies. I interpreted your earlier question I think i need to explain what i am asking for. I am fully aware if your netgate router is attached to an UPS you can configure netgate. Let us say you 5 UPS's in your home and you want nut server to read all the UPS's and show me a dasboard about the status of all the UPS's ? - Is there a ready made docker container for client server nut with dashboard functionality? as a request to have something running on pfSense, which is why I responded I believe most people would say that the type of thing you are asking for isn't something you want to run on your firewall. I recommend using a general purpose operating system behind the firewall instead. Mutual misunderstanding I guess. If you want to explore general NUT monitoring, and not something particular to pfSense, I would recommend the NUT Users list as a better place to seek information.

    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 ?

    @Vad-B Interesting indeed! I just tried to fill the Pre-authentication Key with file:/dev/null. I get an crash in pfsense after some time, but when I login again is saved. For me this for after service restarts at least this solves it, including the issue with the routes not being advertised even set in the WebUI. Havent done an full restart of pfsense (yet)

    @pavlos said in Telegraf stopped working after update to 2.7: The question remains, why different built dates? 2.7.2 stable should have a frozen repo. All of us who d/l pfsense CE 2.7.2 should have the same built date. Very interesting. I stumbled upon this post looking for something else. Well, my build date is different from your two: 2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64) built on Wed Dec 6 15:10:00 EST 2023 FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT I wonder what's up with that.

  • HAproxy and Plex, help to understand

    @waffull I've been trying tot HAproxy to work how I want as well but I think I am missing a step. I can get it to work so long as I include the port number with the address. Which is what I was trying to avoid. I think the problem is that if youre using a port other than 80 or 443 it doesn't forward to those ports (e.g. 5055). The problem I seem to have is that I have a linux box with a handful of apps that all run on different ports. I could set one of them to 443 or another to 80 and I think HAproxy would work how I want, but that would really limit how many apps that box would be able to run. Unless I am missing some step.. With my understanding if plex is on its default 32400 then you couldn't go to plex.myhouse.com without adding the port to the end.. If I am wrong I would be happy to know where I am wrong and what I can do to fix it.

    @mvikman Thanks. Looks like it has the ability to create a file but no way to add a file or edit/delete a file. There is also a sync tab but the documentation appears to be missing for that. It just links to the pfsense docs so no idea what that does or how to use filer to modify the auto config backup xml.

    Hi @Finger79 have you found any information about it? For me it looks like PFsense itself does also not support RadSec as it is defined in RFC from 2012. Nevertheless only a view vendors support it at all. Maybe this changes after the Radius-blast issue. br Thomas

    @Gertjan your instruction is make sense to me. I already applied that too except turn on/off ssh via GUI when needed. That's another tip. Thanks you so much.

    Suricata by default places the physical interface in promiscuous mode, so all traffic traversing the physical interface is seen by all Suricata instances running on the physical interface. That means there is no benefit to creating separate Suricata instances for each VLAN, because a single instance will see the traffic from all VLANs. You can, to a limited extent, tailor how a given Suricata instance responds to traffic by using customized HOME_NET and/or EXTERNAL_NET variables and making sure all the rules you are enabling use the $HOME_NET and $EXTERNAL_NET conditionals in the rule text.
