    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.

    @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.

    @johnpoz Hey @johnpoz My pfSense instance is running on the RC. I've stepped through the ACME process, and verified Cloudflare settings to be sure I didn't miss something; still no success. Firefox is throwing this error: Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to xo.montclairhills.net. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Does this make any sense to you?

    @yobyot I've SSHed into pfsense and for the sake of testing I've simply run the command: tailscale up --auth-key=tskey-client-kQ_THE_REST_IS_A_SECRET\?preauthorized=true\&ephemeral=false --accept-dns=false --accept-routes --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=X.X.X.X/24 --advertise-tags=tag:pfsense Note the preauthorized=true and ephemeral=false I gave this key all permissions (temporarly as I just wanted to verify it's working) of course I had to register the tag used also in the ACL tags pane: https://login.tailscale.com/admin/acls/visual/tags so far so good

    Same here. It started after I installed 25.07. Then it settled down by itself after a few days. It started again after upgrading to 25.07.1. WireGuard works fine (it merely connects to the remote site from this one). However, I am refraining from upgrading the remote, because if the 'service' does not start, I fear it will not listen to incoming connections, which would leave me in a difficult situation. The other topic I had opened before finding this: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/198449/25.07-release-amd64-wireguard-service-reported-stopped-yet-tunnel-trafic-clearly-is-ok

    i think problem come from upgrade. Timelimit in SquidGuard is not working on a pfsense 2.0 upgraded to 2.1.2 but it's working on a fresh installation of 2.1.3 … Anyway i found a solution, i put "/usr/pbi/squid-i386/sbin/squid -k reconfigure -f /usr/pbi/squid-i386/etc/squid/squid.conf" in cron job every 30min. "squid -k reconfigure" was not enough, it didn't work...

    if you really need ClamAV, use Squid 3-Dev. Works for me using i386 firmware.. I've read the link you sent but still dont get this statement: The "core team" now compile the packages. try https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/dev if you want to send an email to the pfsense developers or post a bug on redmine.pfsense.org

    @jitguy: Thanks lizdainis, hope things worked out well for you.  I went back and got 2.7 working. Something about downloading 6 libraries from somewhere seemed like not time for me to be doing squid3-dev yet. i'm running 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.5 using i386 firmware with no issues.. I'm not running in Transparent mode, but i do have anti-virus enabled (clamd) The files that are listed are from the developers file repository. I think there has been issues to get the right files merge into the package pbi file

    @cthurner: Hello, thanx for your reply. I have used the radtest tool on the command line to test the OTP authentication as described here https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_2.x_package. As password I have used the OTP that has been created by DroidOTP on my Android phone. I don't think I have mistyped anything. Furthermore I have compared the otpverify.sh from http://motp.sourceforge.net/bash/otpverify.sh with the version provided by the freeradius2 package. The original script uses "OTP=printf $EPOCHTIME$SECRET$PIN|checksum|cut -b 1-6" (in line 104) whereas the freeradius version uses "OTP=printf $EPOCHTIME$SECRET$PIN|checksum|cut -b 6". In my understanding the second version is wrong, as it only uses the 6th character instead of the first 6 characters. Therefore any authentication request via radius will be rejected. With my modifaction it works. So I think this is indeed a bug. CU Christian I try to explain it again for you. On the GUI YOU probably typed: 6 This is "wrong" because it only uses character 6 (just one character) On the GUI you MUST type: 1-6 This uses characters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

    TCP does not have a notion of a "request". TCP is just a binary stream of data, like a file stream. What you would need is a reverse proxy that could forward based on mysql protocol. My guess is this has not been done as it sounds like there is a better way to handle this, but I could be wrong. Hopefully someone can help you with if this can be done.

    If your WAN IP is public, DynDNS will let you reach it. If your WAN IP is private and you control your modem/router ahead of you, then set it to pass the traffic into your pfSense (e.g. port forward, "DMZ", etc) and you can still use DynDNS. If your WAN IP is private and your ISP is performing Carrier-Grade NAT then in all likelihood you have no way to receive inbound traffic for remote management. If you have another location that has a public address, you could do a site-to-site tunnel to there, and then have a remote access VPN connect to that and hop across a site-to-site VPN to reach the router that's stuck behind NAT.

Does Dans use both executables? Whick one runs? I fetch to  /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/sbin  which seems to work fine for me.

    In the menu, look at Services - proxy filter.  From there, use Times to create your schedule.  Then go to Groups ACL to create groups of IP addresses and what they are allowed to access, and link them to the schedule.

    @BBcan177: I would suggest that you block all outgoing LAN DNS requests unless they are originating from your DNS Server(s) or pfSense DNS apps. This is a very effective way to handle the potential issue.  Restrict all LAN DNS traffic to just your internal DNS server (or servers), then further restrict outbound DNS (on WAN) to designated forwarders. There are some DNS policy rules in the Emerging Threats family that can help as well, but in my view the easiest method is restricting outbound DNS to only authorized hosts. Bill

    I'm no expert either.  I just try to help people if I can. To get to the log, first login to the shell (option 8 in the pfSense text menu). From there, go to /var/log and look for squidGuard.log.  Maybe take a look at the system.log while you're at it. I can't even begin to tell you what to look for other than obvious errors.

    1.2.3 is no longer supported. Squid+SquidGuard on NanoBSD on 1.2.3 even less so. There could be some remnant of a past installation somewhere on the drive in /usr/local/pkg/ or in the config.xml that needs cleaned out. Not enough info to say, but you should really be running the latest version (2.1.x) and not 1.2.x.
