    @qupfer What did I bang my head over this strange 502 issue. Your solution did it! Thank you so much, even 2.5 years later!

    Hi, I had a problem with my home network today, so I checked pfsense and discovered that suricata had blocked the wan ip. After some tests and triggering some suricata alerts, the wan ip was blocked. I restarted pfsense and ran some more tests, but the problem no longer occurred. I then checked the wan interface settings and indeed the ip list does not include the wan ip, both now that it's working and before, when it was blocked. I'm using pfsense 2.8.0 and suricata 7.0.8_2. I use PPPoE to access the Internet.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

    Hi All. A few years back there was no real good way of getting pfBlockerNG log files to a remote SIEM as pfBlocker had no built-in syslog support. The way pfBlockerNG rotated log files caused the entire log content to be resent/duplicated when the CRON update job ran if you used the syslog-ng package to monitor the log files. A Ticket has been open on this for years: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14878 I can still not find any builtin syslog support, and the log file lines are also still in their own format as opposed to standard Syslog format. Have anyone come up with a good solution to getting pfBlockerNG log files shipped to a SIEM without various workarounds, reformatting and extra packages needed?

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    I have Wireguard setup with 3 peers. The peers are now receiving good handshakes and I looked over everything and everything looks good. However, from a laptop connected to the main FW I can take over items in the other LANs and I can get into pfSense by using the local IP instead of the public IP except for 1. Even though it looks good I cannot access anything on that LAN. I can ping the public IP but not the local. I have checked over everything I can think of and it just will not allow the traffic across. I have no idea what else to try?

    Here is my NUT experience: First the Details: PFSense Version 2.2.6 Nut Version 2.1.2 and UPS: APC Back-UPS NS1350 connected via USB. PFSense is 32 bit version running on Intel P4 PC with Intel NIC cards and 1.5 GB Memory. If I set Nut to Generic UPC USB and Auto USB and run the command /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start     I get No upstype set     Driver Failed to Start If I set Nut to APC Back-UPS USB and Auto USB I get:   No matching HID UPS found   Driver failed to start If I set Nut to APC Smart-UPS USB and Auto USB I get:     No matching HID UPS found     Driver failed to start After a week or two of rebooting firewall once a week, Nut will suddenly start upon reboot with the settings left on APC-Smart-UPS USB and Auto. Then after a month or two of it working, after a reboot, Nut will fail to start for a week or two or three. I have more than on one installation with this same configuration, and I have the same problem with each one of them. If someone can come up a with a file to edit or something to fix this issue, it would be great! Thanks Brian

    Hello Sir, We currently use the bind pfsense. We are satisfied with the product, but we still have some things to clarify. I wish to make the declaration of a zone reverse type: For example: zone "80/20.30.40.90.in-addr.arpa" { xxxx, } But unfortunately the pfsense bind interface does not accept this kind of statement with a "/" and returns me an error message (syntax error?) How I should do this type of statement without getting an error message? Sincerly, k. Shekohivand

    You're welcome. I'm not sure if my ACLs are setup "the right way" but I do know they work. It'd be great if some BIND/ACL expert could comment on what I've done.

    HAVP is dead code since 2010, use Squid > Antivirus instead. Works flawless here.

    Thank you all for the reply, specially you BBcan177. I ran your script and it looks like it is working. The old pfBlocker never showed up in the menu, it just kept spaming me. Now it's been quiet for an hour or so and normally it would send out a error message every our. Thanks a lot! :)

    It wasn't taking IPv6 into account. I've fixed that in the version of the package on pfSense 2.3.

    The first two checkboxes are for the "Implicit" rules… So usually those can be unchecked... The last two shouldn't cause too much log traffic so you could enable those....

    This will install cron package including pfSense webgui components: pfSsh.php playback installpkg cron https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Using_the_PHP_pfSense_Shell If its not a pfSense package, perhaps you can use the methods mentioned here: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages Doing this can interfere with pfSense base functionality and is not 'supported'. You might find yourself in a situation where reinstalling pfSense from scratch is required..
