Somehow I don't understand why #haproxy on #pfsense is showing the IPv4 ports as being down while the IPv6 ports are all up (see screenshot).

Over a year ago I bought a little #miniPC and installed #PFSense on it to serve as a #router for my #homelab

I didn't hook it up right away, and I forgot the credentials I used to set it up, but I connected it to a switch and it #justWorks so I never bothered to fix it.

My #Netgear #Wifi AP needs updated and restarted all the time, but pfSense has been doing it's job ever since with absolutely no help from me.

Very impressive!

@frainfostudent Personally I just use #pfBlockerNG on my #pfSense and as you can see, I'm pissed off that my ISP doesn't filter spoofed traffic using #DoD IPs...

@jhx #FreeBSD because I started my very beginning #BSD story with #pfSense and I mainly use #FreeBSD for my needs (servers and desktops).
I tried #OpenBSD and I loved it too. #beastie #puffy

@da_667 well, #pfBlockerNG allows you to free up that @Raspberry_Pi and just use the #pfSense for that...

I've been using that for 3+ years now and it just works!

Couldn't add a third interface to my virtual #pfSense #firewall. Every time I tried, it would error out showing the interface didn't exist. Maybe hitting "Apply configuration" in the #Proxmox server network config settings would be a good idea.

I realized my Dell Optiplex with 8700K may be a bit overkill for just a simple OPNSense firewall. #opnsense #pfsense #selfhosted #selfhosting #homelab

@stanford @lamp AFAIK #pfSense does that per default and for a lot of setups it may be better to use a [redundancy pair of] pfsense or #OPNsense boxes and just have dedicaded interfaces if one needs maximum seperation...

Reworking my DNS/Domain setup for the #homelab. Added a wildcard redirect in #pfsense with a public domain. That domain is pointing to a local IP in the registrar. Closed down open ports for NPM public access and made it local only. Now I can access my #selfhosted services with valid certs remotely & security through a Wireguard tunnel.

Found in the #pfsense documentation where pfSense Plus 23.05 added a way to connect the firewall directly to AT&T's residential fiber ONT. Will have to give this a try and see how well it works.

Having the strangest issue with my #pfsense #firewall. It is randomly blocking #IPv6 traffic (default deny) from the LAN even though I have a rule allowing all IPv6 traffic out.

My last short article "UPS control with NUT, PFSense+ and Zabbix" is online at https://e-mc2.net/blog/ups-nut-pfsense-zabbix/

A new Zabbix template for UPS-NUT monitoring is included/available. #computing #monitoring #pfsense #zabbix #UPS #homelab #sysadmin #hardware

I don't know squat about #php.

But an update to the php used in #pfSense CE 2.7 (8.2.6) made variable definition more strict and crashed #HAProxy startup when pfSense is booted.

I hacked the code tonight, tested it and opened a pull request.

This didn't make me a php expert -- it was only a single line of code. But it works.

And it proves once again the value of open source -- that is, if the pfSense devs ever merge the branch.

Almost nothing beats the satisfaction of learning new code.

Hello fellow creatures of Mastodon, I need your advice on some #networking stuff. I have a #proxmox host, which has 4 NICs. One of these NICs are currently connected to WAN, and a linux bridge is running on top of it, which has a public IP address. Now I want to put a router between the WAN and my precious little virtualized services. I'm open to suggestions, but this is what I came up with:
#pfSense WAN port on the bridge or NIC, and LAN on a vlan that all VMs and CTs will connect to.

(1/2)

I'm running into network interrupts on my #pfsense 2.7 with all #intel #networking cards.

Anywhere between 35 to 65 interrupts / second.

Any suggestions?

@kyo yeah, I hate these things.

This is why I don't use them and force them into stupid "Modem" or "Bridge" mode that turns them into basically media converters and just run my #pfSense on it.

Not shure how #NetNeutrality :loading: is handled in your juristiction but if my #ISP were to do that shit I'd tell them they have an hour to fix it or I'll call @BNetzA [as the local regulators] onto them.

Luckily no ISP yet wanted to "#FuckAroundAndFindOut" with my traffic...
