Minor theme glitches

stephenw10 — Wed, 20 May 2026 15:17:32 GMT

You're right it shouldn't. I tested all the skins myself and all have parts that don't display correctly. Using dark reader solved almost everything and was trivial so I went with that.

pfBlocker CRON update not being disabled

BBcan177 — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 13:03:37 GMT

There are alias deny for blocking and using that option the events will show in the Deny Stats. Alias Native doesn't use any deduplication. Alias Permit/Match should be selected if they are destined for a permit or match rule.

Style sheet issue ?

@Gertjan yeah there was thread quite some time ago that went over this.. One of the updates to the forum software really screwed the pooch to be honest.. But there are some things you can do on your end to fix it.. Let me see if can find that thread Here is the thread I was thinking of. https://forum.netgate.com/topic/197452/forum-change

Poor desicion

@stephenw10 This is my final note since it seem you will always look at this as an endpoint. It doesn't appear, it actually is, the facts are the facts. Still, moderator usually have a way to remove posts and ban single users, not just the entire herd, or at least the ones use. Perhaps those are more advance, or perhaps netgate forums lack that functionality. I never said negate took this issue lightly, I was just looking for some feedback. I have seen this process many times and for the looks of it, pfsense CE is very much in maintenance mode. Just because netgate wants to be politically correct does not mean it is not. The fact are there and they are fallowing the same path as others did. Again, this subject is just becoming redundant and it is affecting other users in the forum.

SSL Certificate misconfiguration for forum.pfsense.com it uses *.netgate.com

When configured propertly Nginx.... For Netgate seems to be an issue

Starlink IP block blacklisted?

johnpoz — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 09:02:54 GMT

@Popolou well that is recent for sure.. I don't recall putting that in - maybe?? Fixed now it seems which is the good thing. Thanks for bringing to attention.

IP Blacklisted

johnpoz — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 18:01:54 GMT

@microserfs and what IP was that - clearly your current IPv6 address is not block that I show you connected with.. And the only other IPv4 I see you using is not blocked.. You would have to let me know what IP you were coming from that was blocked.. Send it to me via PM if you don't want to make it public.

Error al exportar certificado

nayiber vallejo — Mon, 26 May 2025 04:18:07 GMT

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

Forum change?

stephenw10 — Wed, 14 May 2025 23:22:07 GMT

Yeah I usually nuke the content entirely these days just to make it cleaner but I think only admin can do that. I can at least clean that up.

Netgate 2100

tinfoilmatt — Fri, 02 May 2025 15:00:28 GMT

@JonathanLee Blocked by pfB regex string. Sure y'all did a great job though.

The cert for forum.pfsense.org has expired months ago

Gertjan — Sat, 29 Mar 2025 09:05:27 GMT

@stephenw10 As pfSense.org uses a Let's encrypt cert, I can suggest acme.sh. acme.sh is available for everybody, not only pfSense users ^^ Been using it since day 1 : it's perfect

Where is the option to PM/Message?

johnpoz — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 19:37:33 GMT

@LinuxTracker Chat would be a Personal Message.

No bold highlight on pfSense software discussion list.

JKnott — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 19:53:48 GMT

@JKnott It's OK again.

stephenw10 — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 15:35:43 GMT

Yup NodeBB was updated. Should be no difference to users.

Disappointing registration experience

Gertjan — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 17:34:44 GMT

@io3 [image: 1735135205879-82c1f025-3930-44c1-b969-97620c611c91-image.png] Very friendly, and probably correct. But your answer isn't reviewed by a human. Try no

Ability to mark forum posts as Read has disappeared

@Gertjan Thanks. I actually found it after a little experimenting. For some reason it no longer has the text, just the symbol. Works though.

Fake Accounts and SPAM Posts

Gertjan — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 10:50:56 GMT

Didn't even know what wss:// is/was.Still note sure why it is banning on forum.netgate.com/socket.io/...
