    @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.

    @High_Voltage I don't think there is anything to do.. Pretty sure those are the defaults.. When you query pihole for something that is blocked.. By default it returns some sort of answer - I am not aware of a setting that would wait for a timeout. [image: 1757768975895-blockmode.jpg] So I really have no idea he would of been doing. If something is blocked in pfblocker you would either get back the vip (so you could see a block page) or you would get all zeros. Same goes for pihole - I am not aware of a setting that would just time out and not send an answer if you asked for something that was blocked. The only reason pihole would time out on sending you a response is what you were asking for actually just never responded to pihole. If some fqdn you were asking for was being blocked you would get the answer almost instantly. If pihole was forwarding to unbound which I believe is a common sort of setup for stuff that is not blocked. Again if pfblocker was blocking it, you for sure should get a response right away of either the vip or all zeros. Its possible maybe pihole doing rebind protection, and pfblocker handing back the rfc1918 of your vip maybe causes pihole some sort of hangup, but normally when that happens it just returns a null to the client since it got an answer, it just not suppose to hand it back to the client.. But again no time out. Only time I could see a timeout issue is when unbound didn't answer the pihole, again if something unbound doesn't get an answer from how its resolving/forwarding. Maybe he was sending back nodata, and the client didn't take that as an answer and kept asking for the same thing until it gave up?

    @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.

    @Amirkabir: Hi I want to know how pfsense snort package block attacking hosts. Is there a plugin like snortsam in snort package? Snort on pfSense makes use of an old third-party open-source plugin called Spoink.  This is compiled into the Snort binary on pfSense as an output plugin.  It sees all of the alerts and examines the IP addresses and compares them to an internal whitelist table.  Any IP address not matching up with a whitelist entry is then "blocked".  This blocking is done by calling the BSD pf (packet filter) API to insert the offending IP address into a block table called snort2c.  Currently snortsam is not used.

    I was working on this exact problem with preserving the URI during redirect and had stumbled upon this thread.  I thought I would share the solution to help others who may be in the same boat.  Squid 3.2 required. pfsense 2.0-RELEASE (i386) squid3-dev 3.3.8 pkg 2.2 Use '^/.*$' in the Path regex field to match on domain + whatever. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/CustomErrors#deny_info_URL_codes_for_embedding Simply add %R to the 'URL to redirect to' field so it looks like this: 'https://pfsense.org%R'  In this case, http://pfsense.org/mysuperpage.php redirects to https://pfsense.org/mysuperpage.php

    marcelloc is right, a Firwall or Gateway can't filter LAN to LAN because it is normally Layer3 device. You should use something like Asymmetric VLAN, so you dont need a lot of subnets to filter. Ceep it simple Here is something to read: ftp://ftp.dlink.es/FAQs/TS_AV.pdf ftp://ftp.dlink.de/anleitungen/Switch/DGS-12xxT_Howto_de_overlapping_vlan_Rev_D.pdf Edit: Cisco explains it too http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/connectedgrid/cgs2520/software/release/15_0_2_ed/configuration/guide/cgs_asym-vlan.pdf

    @Legion: Thanks marcelloc. Doing that at least changed the error message to: TCP_MISS/503 0 CONNECT some_rfc_1918_address_but_not_in_my_local_net:utorrent's_port - DIRECT/some_rfc_1918_address_but_not_in_my_local_net Maybe it's something to do with the CONNECT method? Where I'd normally expect the GET method? This torrent maybe trying to connect via ssl, that's why you only see CONNECT on logs

    @fsantaana: thansk for the reply nacht. the only problem is that i have some time period (1 hour) where i would need to pause the timer and this is not possible with the voucher. I had read some where you can create modules for the time counter or edit the expiration module with the new calculation. However in my past experience when I edit these modules after I reboot the system it erases my configs and replaces it with the defaults. Also do you know if this would work with the CP on the pfsense? I knwo that on the 2.1 you can have it send custom radius commands. If you need to make changes which should be persitent you should modify the following file: /usr/local/pkg/freeradius.inc Perhaps it could be easier to make a diff from the freeradius.inc original file and the one you modified. Then install the "System Patches" package and as your diff there. Then the patch will be applied after firmware updates or even if you update the package and changes outside of the part you did will not be affected. As I said - I don't know how good and which commands CP sends and if it would be possible.

    I know this is old, but it's still an issue. The plugin is looking at /usr/pbi/nrpe-amd64/* as its base, which is different from previous behavior. That could be fine, but, the old paths with the nrpe2.cfg file and the plugins still exist. I just spent a good deal of time trying to figure out why a plugin I put in /usr/local/libexec/nagios was not showing up in the GUI. Probably what should happen is that the old paths for plugins and such should be deleted.

    Hey Marcelloc, Thanks for your response. Not sure why I didnt try the PBI files before. Editing the template file seems to work now. So I am able to display a blank page for blocked content. Any idea why the ads image replacement feature does not work? # Banned image replacement # Images that are banned due to domain/url/etc reasons including those # in the adverts blacklists can be replaced by an image.  This will, # for example, hide images from advert sites and remove broken image # icons from banned domains. # on (default) | off usecustombannedimage = on custombannedimagefile = '/usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/share/dansguardian/transparent1x1.gif' #Banned flash replacement usecustombannedflash = on custombannedflashfile = '/usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/share/dansguardian/blockedflash.swf' Any help would be great! Cheers!

    @Nachtfalke: If I remember correct this is not a package problem but a squid source problem. It's called sloppy package maintenance.
