    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.

    @LowKnee Just out of curiosity are you referring to the Database Sanity Check reporting that "these two counts should match" it the count is off by 1 (which I suspect is your case) there was a fix (manual code change) to change masterfile to mastercat in pfblolckerng.sh you want to change this change the line from s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${masterfile})" to s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${mastercat})" There is also an edge case if the count is greater than one, here is how that goes if in the deny directory you have say two flies (because of the list / file selection you have and they have repeat addresses file 1 has say 100 lines file 2 has say 10 lines (but those 10 lines are also in file 1, file 2 is a subset) you get two uniquely named deny files and then when the "count" is calculated on the deny directory it sees 110 entries when the "count:" is calculated on the "mastercat" file it only contains 100 entries the count doesn't match in my case the issue was caused by full list I had selected, also having an available subset lists (I had inadvertently selected one of) this causing two deny files with some of the same (overlapping data) I unselected the subset and bingo matched again, was a "my bad" selection. Edit: this applied to 25.07 (and 25.07.1) and pfblockerng 3.2.7 as it is labelled on those versions of pfSense

    @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.

    @provels said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: This same mess happened to me, even w/o Acme, going from 25.07 to *.1. Blew, reinstalled w/ Crowdsec, blew again, reinstalled, clipped all the Crowdsec info from config.xml, restored config, back to normal. Crowdsec is a great concept, but I think I'm out. I never had this issue with Crowdec before the ACME update, even with updating from 2.7 to 2.8 there was no issues. In fact after restoring from a backup after the ACME update, Crowdsec reinstalled just fine, and this was before the recent release a couple days ago that contained a fix.

    OMG. Install the damned package from the package manager. There you have the GUI. (And kindly uninstall what you installed manually before that, or you'll have two broken copies of the same monster that doesn't belong on firewalls…)

    This is off-topic, but I've been running the server portion of OpenVPN at the remote offices, listening on the failover gateway, and running the clients at the central site. I add this to the client config at the central site: remote rmt.fai.ovr.con pporrtt; keepalive 1 4; Seems to work pretty well. Total time to failover = failover timeout configured on gateway group + failover timeout configured by the keepalive statement on the client I believe the above OpenVPN timeout is set to 4 seconds

    Your are right, I want to understand the logic was to build the app into pfsense, don't know the idea to have a local director. Once u setup bacula with this requirement, my bacula director is not able to grab the backup from pfsense, I got the error: '26-Oct 10:13 bacula-dir JobId 33027: Start Backup JobId 33027, Job=MBX-PFSENSEMBX.2015-10-26_10.13.05_53 26-Oct 10:13 bacula-dir JobId 33027: Using Device "FileStorage" 26-Oct 10:13 bacula-fd JobId 33027: Fatal error: Authorization key rejected by Storage daemon.

Your fix is working? Thanks.

  • Failed to install packages (After upgrade Pfsense 2.2.4)

    Same problem here. After installing pfSense 2.2.4 "fresh" (on a Intel Core2Duo 2.5GHz white box with 1GByte RAM), the Package manager is not able to download the OpenVPN Client export utility in my case. Tried this and other packages over several days, the same result every time. Using the download links mentioned in any of the error messages in a browser, I can download all packages without a problem. An example link:  https://files.pfsense.org/packages/10/All/zip-3.0_1-amd64.pbi There is no proxy on my own network and the command TRACERT (Windows, sew me ;)) shows no apparent proxies or DNS problems either. My topology is a simple one: internet <<>> pfSense router <<>> unmanaged switch <<>> my computer The provided links point to *.pbi files only. Where can I find alternatives for manual installation? The titles of posts in the pfSense forum from sections 'OpenVPN' and 'Installation and Upgrades' do not look to cover the problem. However, that is the general inability of people to describe their problem concisely. A forum search using term "cannot download" resulted in this https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=100128.msg557921#msg557921, but that doesn't work either. *Edit: The solution mentioned at the link above is only half of the solution. There are 2 check boxes on the mentioned pfSense 2.2.4 configuration page. The first one needs to be off/disabled, the second one needs to be on/enabled. After I did that, I was able to install packages. The 1st checkbox in this case is called: Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN The 2nd checkbox in this case is called: Do not use the DNS Forwarder or Resolver as a DNS server for the firewall [image: pfSense_question.jpg] [image: pfSense_question.jpg_thumb] [image: pfSense_questionb.jpg] [image: pfSense_questionb.jpg_thumb]

    @brasilnut: I had all of Asia blocked, and just recently try to open up (permit) South Korea. I opened it by: opened the Asia tab - then unselected "Korea, Republic of-KR" - then pressed Save After hitting "Save", follow that with a "Force Update" to get the changes to take effect. However, a "Force Reload" is better when you remove Lists or CCs… Also, don't block the Inbound unless you have open WAN ports. And if you have open WAN ports, then protect only those open ports. Also its better to permit the few countries that you want instead of trying to block the world... See the following two links: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg548324#msg548324 https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg553921#msg553921
