    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @jrey those pfb_*.sh files are the executables Thanks for clarifying the executables. I do not think that the hardware and table entry size won't be problem as the current configuration provides sufficient computation and memory for its operations. Pfsense is running in different hardware, e.g., Intel Xenon Platinum 8272CL processor and maximum table entries is set to 10 times than the default. pfSense Table Stats ------------------- table-entries hard limit 4000000 Table Usage Count 465931

    @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.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    @mallison01: ok sounds good, thanks. if you need some one to test your new code id be interested. Thank for the offer, but I was able to test the fix in my VMware environment.  The fix for auto-log rotation is ready and should be posted in a few days.  I found several issues in that old code.  Thank you for pointing out the problem.  I'm glad I looked… :) Bill

    Thanks for reply. I think I found what was the problem. While making lists and groups I was saving lists and groups individually, but did not use "global" Save button. Seems like it's working now. All the best.

  • Snort still clearing blocked ip's even though it is set to "never"

    Well whether the problem I had was real or not. I happened to try out binding to the Lan (instead of wan) for my snort interface. And I had the results I expected with blocked ip's staying blocked. I set it to "both" for direction. That seemed to fix it. Only problem is snort cannot perform a portscan from this side of the network (lan). So I created two with this one on wan as a  rule-less snort interface (with portscan enabled). Which seemed to work. But annoying to see it warn me about no rules on the interface. And I probably have redundant preprocessing now. So not sure why I had the problem originally, but there is a solution in case anybody has had problems. Hopefully one day snort for pfsense will create the block list as a simple "Alias" table. Then snort2C wont be needed. And if Snort could be part of the rules chain order. (instead of first) Then the Whitelist inside of snort won't be needed either. Along with speeding it up since it will not process ip's destined to be blocked by the rule chain ahead of it. including ip's it has previously blocked.

    I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure Squid would only cache traffic that flows through it. I connect to my news reader on port 563 (or whatever it is) so squid would never seem my newsreader traffic as squid only has traffic from port 80 flowing through it!

    @bmeeks: My suggestion would be to not run the fixed-IP list Emerging Threats rules in Snort if you are using them with pfBlocker. Hi Bill, The .txt Rulesets from ET are based on the Open ruleset. I have asked if there is a PRO .txt ruleset but waiting on an answer. They also indicated that the RBN lists will be discontinued in a few weeks.

    @bmeeks: This has been fixed with an "unannounced" minor update I pushed the day after New Years.  Just reinstall the Snort package GUI and it should be OK.  The change was so minor that I did not bump the Snort package version. To reinstall, go to System…Packages and the Installed Packages tab.  Click the XML icon beside the Snort entry to reinstall the GUI components.  Check and be sure you have clicked "save settings on de-install" on the Global Settings tab first to preserve your configuration. Done and done… thank you  Bill for the quick response, that was it. We know what you meant, but for those following, the (current) actual heading under Global Settings/General Settings is:  Keep Snort Settings after Deinstall Rick

    @MikeX: … I'm looking for advice, nothing too detailed or specific on the technical part of deployment, but more so of... "use this rule set" or "maybe try this obscure setting". … http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,64674 Make sure you read every single post on that thread. As for the locking yourself out, if you are on a dynamic ip (seen that you mentioned dynamic dns) then you just change your ip you are remoting in from. Or just whitelist it as mentioned above.

    No help section available currently, sorry. Every time the configuration is applied all existing configuration options are overwritten. (as is the case with most config files that are managed through pfSense gui.) -import option, i don't think its easily possible to implement such a feature.. As a workaround you could probably put major parts of the old config file into the Setting page under: "Global Advanced pass thru" including listen/frontend/backend sections. Though that way it wont be 'nicely' visible in the webgui.. the haproxy-devel build uses some default options like a 'unix socket' that might be sufficient for haproxy to startup, instead of the almost 'empty' config you showed. Also when applying haproxy-devel settings if an error is detected in the config file it will show that at the top of the page.

    As long as you have selected output_cdf and recover_cdf in the settings, then it should be reloading the data each time bandwidthd starts. On full installs, the data is on a real disk and so should survive a reboot. On nanoBSD the data is in the /var memory disk and is lost on reboot. So far there is no option to automatically save it to the CF card.
