relayd https inspection certificate issue
Dear all, I would like to use relayd as an outbound https proxy, so I configured it like shown in the last section of the relayd.conf(5) manpage. This works fine for e.g. wikipedia.org. The certificate issued by my relay is nearly the same as the original, except oft he issuer of course. But when I try to visit e.g. heise.de, at least all images refuse to load. After some research I found out the following. When visiting the site directly without proxy, I can see that the images are loaded from https://heise.cloudimg.io. If I open an image in a new browser, I can also see that the certificates applicant is 2e26bae.cloudimg.io, alternative applicants are heise-aws.cloudimg.io and heise.cloudimg.io Now if I use the relayd proxy and try to open an image in a seperate browser, the url is the same https://heise.cloudimg.io/... but the certificates is different. Its applicant now is a.248.e.akamai.net and alternatively *.akamaized.net and some other *.akamai… So the self-issued certificate has completely other applicants than the original and of course doesn‘t match the actual server name and I get the error ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID Can anybody help or give advice? Thank you very much!

I believe this puts https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD in the file. The issue may have started before 7.4, but was not seen at 7.3 release timeframe. After giving it more thought, I believe I started seeing errors on package installation before 7.4 release. I figured it was a web site issue because I'm running -stable and no patches seemed related (so more likely an external issue). Then, the errors were familiar when I did reinstalls with 7.4. The errors are temporary and the package installations will complete if run again, or maybe a couple times. Thanks, for the reply and any help! -- David Rinehart
Relayd - block bad bots
Hey I'm running a small VM on OpenBSD where my site resides. My stack is pf/relayd/httpd. I see a significant traffic coming from bad bots, like mj12. I'd love to completely block them and Relayd seems like the best place. I tried to block by "User-Agent" header, however there is no support for globs there. This means I would need to constantly adjust my filters when they release new version into the wild. Has anyone had any success with achieving something similiar? Frankly I was a bit surprised that globs in value are not supported. Seems like a great use case. --- Michal

Re: Weird network performance with iwn(4)
I checked for openwrt support but your AP has a relatively uncommon Realtek SoC and it seems fairly unlikely to happen so you're probably stuck with the vendor firmware. Maybe try forcing "mode 11n" or "mode 11g" with ifconfig and see if that's any better.

Well, not quite - speedtest.net (whatever it does) seems to report good results, browsing however is generally slow, but I can't really set precise expectations for let's say "opening youtube.com". It's just slow compared to other machines on the same network. The most concrete thing I could think of was to download the base set which was surprisingly slow during the first upgrade after installation. That's why I started to investigate; this I can measure and report. So generally speaking, everything is slow on iwm0 *except* what speedtest.net seems to report. > The speed test being successful would imply that the wifi > layer is working just fine.

No issue, perfect 100Mbit. > Or with iwm(4) via a different AP? > Or with iwm(4) via a different ISP? Thanks for the tips! I went ahead and tried my cell phone's mobile hotspot. Even though speedtest.net only reported 30/15Mbit down/up, the general browsing experience was much better and managed to squeeze out 2-3MByte/sec while downloading the base set from various mirrors. Switching back to my home AP seems to be the issue. It's a Zyxel NBG6615 (end of service by now, no newer firmware). Is there any debug sysctl's I can set on the laptop that could prove useful in troubleshooting this? Maybe different settings for iwm(4) or the AP? Daniel

Hi everyone, Recently exploring how to configure and administer Keycloak, can somebody please point me to the resources for doing this in OpenBSD 7.4? There seems to be no man pages for this purpose. Would greatly appreciate all the help to make this work. Thank you very much.

Thanks Stuart. I will test it out. Plenty to test with anyway. (;
