@GeorgePatches said in How can I edit the default 404 page?:

If you could point me to where that is, I'd appreciate the help. 🙂

I'll show you how to find the way to find the file :

I presume you have some ideas about where the nginx config file is located, as it is the same as any other device out there that contains a web server :

/var/etc/nginx-webConfigurator.conf

That file is full with unique words = perfect grep-food, pick one of them. I chose 'fastcgi_intercept_errors'.
Now, the sledgehammer solution to locate the file you're looking for : check /etc/ and /usr/ :

[24.03-RELEASE][root@pfSense.bhf.tld]/etc: grep -R 'fastcgi_intercept_errors' * inc/system.inc: $intercept_errors = "\t\t\tfastcgi_intercept_errors on;\n";

In /usr/ you'll find :

Binary file local/sbin/nginx matches local/share/vim/vimfiles/syntax/nginx.vim:syn keyword ngxDirective contained fastcgi_intercept_errors

which also contain the word 'fastcgi_intercept_errors' for reasons I don't need to explain ^^

So /etc/inc/system.inc is your candidate.

You'll find the function system_generate_nginx_config() where the nginx config file is build.

@Jarhead it works, but that's not intuitive at all

@johnpoz Thank you!

@Gertjan thank you!

I found this older post from 2021. Looks like the OP had the same issue or similar to mine.

@foxhnd that is the same thing I was doing when I got that error too

@T2M5 hi,

first check if auth is working under Diagnostics - Authentication in pfSense GUI? under SystemUser ManagerSettings did you select the LDAP server? under LDAP server config, a good sign is when you click on Authentication containers linen "Select a container" you should get the OU from server ( if AD )

actually it has, it's a pretty interesting system, never saw it before ..but started to look over it

actually there are some XML files with descript a page, there some .inc file but full puzzle not yet solved :)

anyway I solved the issue, check your inbox

@daxis

You don't know that internet connection's IP address in advance to put in your accesslist.
How do you plan on managing or troubleshooting your machine then?

I use a cloud VM as SSH jump host with port forwarding.

@techie_19 said in Can't ping or access while connected via VPN:

its running on my current regular wifi router which has the OpenVPN client/server functionality

Where is this device, on the WAN side or LAN side of pfSense ?

@techie_19 said in Can't ping or access while connected via VPN:

I cannot ping nor access the IP I assigned my pfSense box

pfSense has at least 2 interfaces. Which one ?
Can you reach other devices on your LAN ?
Firewall rules for those interfaces ?

@viragomann , o thanks !

@Gertjan

Problem solved! Mea culpa as you might have suspected.

Earlier this am I determined that host file contained the .212 address and that it was unremovable because the hosts file was regenerated on reboot. That and your last post led me to the DNS resolver and I found that I had put in an override for acb.netgate.com, apparently some time ago when I was having some upgrade issues. Removed the override and all is now well with autoconfig backup.

Thanks for your patience!!
