@early_riser I use #unifi for #switching and #wifi. I enjoy those products. I don't like their #NAS and #routing options.

I ran #pfsense for over a decade, but since the 2.8 release you can't do an offline install. So I switched to #opnsense.

I'm pleased to say I've been able to write a Tutorial series on how to get a quick-and-dirty implementation of Client Certificate Authentication using PFSense and HAProxy!

Client Certificate Authentication in PFSense With HAProxy

Friendly Neighbourhood SysAdmin. I write about my homelab and home network.

Just managed to get my first Client SSL authentication working with PFSense and HAProxy!

Getting to understand the ACL ordering was my biggest hurdle, but I can now reject access to my internal apps from the wider internet unless theyre using a client certificate. There's even a bypass for internal IP addresses so I don't need to resort to split-brained DNS!

Just took a look at my PFSense box, and saw that my secondary OpenVPN connection was down.
Looked at the provider's site, and it turns out that they deprecated OpenVPN a while back!

So, tonight has consisted of me learning about and setting up: Wireguard

I'm back in action now, and looking forward to seeing whether this new VPN protocol will have any speed benefits for me!

@thomholwerda I've run #opnsense / #pfsense and #Unifi together for years. It is a great combo. Unless you're very married to the unifi router, i'd consider dropping it if possible. Dealing with #DoubleNAT is always a headache.

@everyday_human @xaetacore sadly no.

I tend to DIY #pfSense / #OPNsense boxes...

pfSense Plus 2025.11.1 is out with some bug fixes and changes including reduced TLS certificate lifetime. I had no issues remotely updating my 2100. #pfSense #pfSensePlus #Netgate https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/releases/25-11-1.html

I guess #pfsense will slowly just run out of space and die in weird ways if you keep upgrading & never delete previous Boot Environments (no auto cleanup?).

Wasn't fully out of space but apparently low enough to cause some services to break/act in weird [un-logged] ways.

Also I wish its dashboard Disks plugin properly displayed ZFS space usage too. Had to manually execute 'zfs list' command to find out what was gobbling up all the space. Boot Environments page also massively understates usage.
