    Only OpenVPN-compatible user certificates are shown

    If a client is missing from the list it is likely due to a CA mismatch between the OpenVPN server instance and the client certificate, the client certificate does not exist on this firewall, or a user certificate is not associated with a user when local database authentication is enabled.

    Clients using OpenSSL 3.0 may not work with older or weaker ciphers and hashes, such as SHA1, including when those were used to sign CA and certificate entries.

    OpenVPN 2.4.8+ requires Windows 7 or later

    Name it "run.sh", copy to pf and chmod according documentation

    You will see messages in the system log like those quoted in the script after logger command.

    @krishcomment said in Free Network diagram drawing tool for Win,MAC or Linux.:

    HI, @Sergei_Shablovsky
    Thanks. I would like to address some concerns which you have raised here.

    Regarding the shape libraries, Creately does support AWS, Cisco, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes shapes, which can be accessed via a dedicated account.

    Most of network diagramming tools that I have been testing on a real use cases may be divided on 2(two) main groups:

    With ability to take attention to interface type, port speed, etc.- trying to simulate packet flow. Mostly there are hi-priced, proprietary, and with shrinked library of device’s models and in addition the ugly UI/UX interface solutions.

    The shapes drawings vector editors, with full toolset (like layers, smart layers, smart groups) and rich abilities to manipulate with graphic’s objects. Polished UI/UX (especially on Apple macOS) and rich import/export features, that give ability to import any drawings from equipment/appliances manufacturer. (Most of enterprise-level manufacturers already have drawings in .ai, .svg or other vector formats).

    With the trial version, these libraries aren't available, but once you have a full account, you'll be able to access them. I can also provide screenshots of these shape libraries for reference.

    Please give us several screenshots.

    On security, Creately is ISO 27001 and SOC2 certified, ensuring high standards of data protection. Some of our key users include the Australian government, Dubai government, NASA, and Netflix, all of whom trust Creately's enterprise-grade security. We also offer on-premise deployment options for organizations with strict security requirements.

    We all see that each day some private data leaking from cloud services. Especially in Enterprise world.

    I am strongly stay at point that so important, CRITICAL DOCUMENTS like network infrastructure schemes - have a MUCH BETTER SAFETY LEVEL when create, store and edit in INSIDE PERIMETER of organisation. Because a lot of abilities of internal security, both from physical to digital.

    Lastly, the cloud-based nature of Creately allows for real-time collaboration and scalability, making it a powerful tool for corporate users working across distributed teams. While standalone apps have their strengths, Creately's collaborative features enhance efficiency in fast-paced environments.

    Sounds like ADs. ;)

    Network

    APC Back UPS ES500 Cable Modem | 100 / 30 Supermicro X10SBA (J1900) w/ 8GB RAM, 30 GB SSD (pfSense) TP-Link SG1016DE smart switch TP-Link Archer C7v2 WAP Cisco SPA112 ATA (not visible) Lutron Caséta Downstairs in the condo locker APC XS1500 UPS TP-Link SG105E smart switch Dell T610 30m away in the garage another ArcherC7v2

    The chassis is an Akasa Euler meant specifically for Supermicro A1SAi/A1SRi. I was naive to think the block heatsink would fit the X10SBA. It does not. It was bought to build an HTPC.

    I hoped to find a compatible mobo at a decent price but those two models are vere expensive. The box is open since the SOC relies on its OEM heatsink instead of the massive block of the Euler.

    @tgl The script itself doesn't need to be maintained in the Git repo. (But I hate a password, even a randomly-generated burner, just sitting in plaintext even still. Could create a limited-access 'backup' user to mitigate this though.)

    @LukasInCloud
    I run pfSense+ as my firewall and, yes, I create new BE copy after every major change and switch to it as WIP. I also have a computer running FreeBSD 14.2 with KDE Plasma 6 DE. I create new BE copy in CLI.

    And a review of it (not all positiv):
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plJGZQ35Q6I

    Things have improved a bit, but I recommend Anyone who is considering purchasing one of these watch that video, and read through the associated Github issue thread. If you buy one of these, I would re-flash the unit prior to use.

    As an alternative, for about the same price (ex shipping) there is JetKVM which is physically very nice. Here is apalrd's security video on JetKVM, which is also worth watching.

    FWIW, I have no association with JetKVM other than as a user.

    A common misconception is an interesting attack like this one is the way in. Frequently it is a chain of attacks that get companies and people in trouble. A low access breach is chained with other attacks and quickly the attacker is root. Read the Pwn2Own results. Pwn2Own is a hacking competition and most winners chain attacks.

    Since this one is actively being used it must be working. I am sure this will breed new attacks.

    Defensive thinking will have you lock your front door, offensive thinking will have you bar the front door.
