    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.

    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.

    @rico

    Thanks, I read that several times and couldn't see which scenario would allow me to access the backup files after the previous upgrade to 2.4.4, which was in October.

    I have my encryption code (from legacy setup) and the current device key.

    There's two possible solutions?

    #anchor(Restoring Backups from Another Firewall or a Previous Installation
    I)f the SSH key changes due to a re-installation of pfSense, the ACB package can restore a backup from the previous installation as long as the Device Key and the Encryption Password of the previous installation are both known.

    Navigate to the the Settings tab
    Set the Encryption Password to match the previous installation
    Navigate to the Restore tab
    Paste the old device key into the Device Key field
    Click the Submit button
    This temporarily allows ACB to display a list of backups for an alternate Device Key.

    ***** Does the Device Key change on reinstalling pfSense, or is it static for the hardware?**

    #anchor(Bare Metal Restoration
    I)f the hard drive is lost, the following procedure is necessary to recover the state of the new firewall installation to the last configuration change:

    Install pfSense on the new hard drive.
    Bring up LAN and WAN, and assign the hostname and domain exactly the same as it was previously configured.
    Install the AutoConfigBackup package.
    Configure the AutoConfigBackup package as described above, using the portal account and the same encryption password as used previously.
    Visit the Restore tab and choose the configuration to restore.
    After the restoration is done, reboot when prompted.

    ****I don't have this information. I may be able to find it, but it was not information I knew was critical.

    Hi @jullienl - could you add a __debug=true as a URL parameter and provide the response message in this thread - authentication failures have plenty of logging and messages around them to help identify where problem(s) might be coming from - should be fairly easy to resolve - N

    Sorry for stepping in 2 years later, however, there are 3 variables you need to check:

    UPSTYPE, DEVICE, AND UPSCABLE.

    In my case, I have:

    UPSCABLE smart
    UPSTYPE usb
    DEVICE

    and it works perfectly, indeed it works fine with my CyberPower CP1000AVRLCDa.

    In my case, I had to have 'UPSCABLE smart' set or it wouldn't detect it.

    @robin24 said in Using the FreeRADIUS package to authenticate against macOS Server Open Directory:

    I was actually able to set up the macOS server as an authentication server in PFSense, so I can now log in to Webconfigurator using the accounts stored in LDAP.

    I'm trying to do the same thing, and would setlle for just LDAP auth, can you post your settings? Did you ever get this the radius server to work? If so I'd love to hear how!
    Thanks,
    mike
