    Can I use pgblockerng aliases in Haproxy?

    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.

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade:

    Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working.

    Glad you have it sorted.

    There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting.
    ...
    Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded?

    If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver).

    Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name).

    You can see the quirk with the following command:

    [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root:

    Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver.

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade:

    You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8.

    LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    @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.

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection.

    If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application?

    Thanks.

    This method is pretty bulletproof for me:

    As per this page How To Install Speedtest-cli On a FreeBSD To Check Internet Speed, I simply ran these two commands in the GUI at Diagnostics / Command Prompt / Execute Shell Command:

    pkg search speedtest

    This returned the following:
    py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3
    Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth

    so I ran this command:

    pkg install -y py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3

    Then from there I simply run speedtest

    Generally speaking, the only way it might matter is if you checked "auto apply" in which case it's best to either remove it before upgrade or at least uncheck that box.

    Otherwise it doesn't matter if you delete it before or after.

    Where people get into trouble is when they (incorrectly) think they need to revert it before removing. That is unnecessary and actually can remove the good code and "unfix" something that wasn't broken on the new release.

    Moved this to packages since the questions you are asking are more relevant to the FreeRADIUS package support for Google Authenticator than OpenVPN.

    It can be used multiple times, it's no different than manually entering the OTP configuration in a similar tool such as Authy or Bitwarden manually, but more convenient. No time limit, it's just a QR code version of the user configuration data. No. Nothing in pfSense directly. Other RADIUS servers may have options for things like that. Check around for things like daloradius which may have plugins for what you want. You can then point the auth at that external RADIUS server and let it handle the user auth and OTP.

    Any time you rely on the user to "self-register" or similar terms for their own VPN setup, it's weakening security. Yes, managing users and VPN configurations is a chore, but anything that makes it substantially easier almost certainly makes it more open to attack or abuse.

    @bingo600 After some additional digging it seems it’s not related to Zabbix but rather unbound resolver in combination with pfblockerNG-devel 3.0.16

    I’m investigating further for now, but stopping pfblockerNG (which stops and reconfigures unbound) releases the allocated diskspace which then returns to the 25% it should be.

    Maybe it’s something related to the new python integration i pfblockerNG and Unbound.

    The Issue must have arisen when I upgraded to 21.05 from 21.02

    I’ll close this thread and create a new one under the pfBlockerNG forum.

    @paanvaannd said in Unable to modify (i.e., install, remove, or reinstall) packages via Web interface + Snort installed but not showing up in Web GUI:

    Thank you for taking the time to help and explain, @bmeeks!

    Per your and others' comments in that linked thread, I'm not hopeful that Snort/Suricata would have much hope of working on my SG-3100 even after 2.5.2 rolls around (I'd link directly to your comment but I can't figure out how to copy a permalink on this site...) so I may just upgrade to the SG-6100 since it's Intel-based.

    Yes, the SG-3100 is not the best choice right now for the IDS/IPS packages. It is due to the 32-bit ARM processor chip in that box. Because of the 32-bit ARM processor and the lack of Rust support for it, it is not possible to run any version of Suricata on that hardware newer than 4.x. That is two versions behind, and no longer supported by the Suricata team.

    I did everything the manual says.

    So I did add 127.0.0.1 as a NAS/client.

    And I did not add Class := "admins" as a reply-item. I tried now but it does not change the result. Still getting "Authentication error". And radsnitch produces the same (type of) output.

    But thank you for the suggestion.
