    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: Your suggestion is preferred, but from I understood from you, nobody is interested or have the knowledge. Again thank you, for updating this package over the years. I'm sure there is someone here on the forum using the package that has the knowledge to maintain it. Another option if IDS/IPS is critical is to use the Linux package on a separate virtual machine or hardware appliance. Inline IPS performance would actually be very good using a Linux box (or even a FreeBSD box) with two separate NICs and configure true netmap hardware-to-hardware mode. That is many times more performant than the hardware-to-host mode that is required when using netmap within pfSense. Of course using a separate box would mean no GUI, but that's how the vast majority of the world uses Suricata already (without a GUI).

    @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.

    @Gertjan Thanks for your reply – that’s also my impression. The point is: I don’t really see any lists right now that are actually “maintained” in the sense of being actively cleaned up, checked for dead domains, categorized, etc. That’s why my main interest is more about the demand: Would curated lists really be a game changer for admins? Would they be more helpful than what’s available today, or are most people already using other alternatives? If so, which ones? And from your perspective, what would be your expectation towards “community lists”? (e.g. reliability, update frequency, categories, fewer false positives?)

    @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.

    @HFADmin If it is no Site2Site-VPN then you don't need any gateways in the first place... If that is true but you want to monitor the connection then you could create dummy-gateways just to ping the remote ip-addresses.

    Right well a reboot of the firewall sorted out the problem. Have to say I didn't get along with squid. I found the performance tweaks here on the forum and through google.  Still not good IMO. Pages were taking too long to load, youtube (and other sites) videos were also affected slightly even though I hadn't turned on dynamic caching. So I have un-installed squid for now.  I might create a stand alone squid server at some point but who knows. Thanks for your time mate :)

    Snort 2.9.4.6 Pkg ver 2.5.9 Auto-Add Suppression Rules for Track By Source or Track By Destination from Alerts tab Additional icons will now show up on the Alerts tab under the SRC and DST columns for displayed alerts.  A plus (+) icon will appear under an IP address in the SRC or DST columns.  Clicking the plus (+) icon will automatically add the IP to the Suppress List for the interface using the "track by src ip" or "track by dst ip " form.  If the IP address is already present in the Suppress List, then a disabled icon will be displayed. This gives you three ways to suppress alerts.  By SRC IP, by DST IP, or by GID:SID.  The third method (by GID:SID) is global in that it will suppress the alert regardless of source or destination.  For this reason, when a global suppress list entry containing only the GID:SID with no other qualifiers is present, then no plus (+) icon will displayed for that alert under the SRC or DST columns.  This is because in the case of a globally suppressed alert, the IP addresses are irrelevant. Note also in the screen shot below that (X) icons are also displayed.  These have been available for quite some time in the GUI.  When present, they indicate the IP address is currently being blocked.  Clicking the (X) icon will remove the IP address from the blocking table.

    I too would like to have the temps displayed via LCDProc. I also have coretemp running with the temps displayed on the dashboard and a working lcdproc-dev package feeding a CFA-735. I agree with kilthro's placement too with having the temp displayed in the bottom, static region but since my CPU down-clocks when needed, i wouldn't want to lose that particular item but the states portion i could live without. So, in short, I second this request.

    There isn't a way to store that info long-term on pfSense directly. ntop can get some but probably not the detail you want, it would be more for a summary or graphing. pfflowd (or softflowd, see the doc wiki) can export netflow data to a separate netflow server which then logs and records that information in a database, and you can then query or graph from there. The netflow server would be separate software, there have been several forum threads and mailing list threads discussing various free and commercial netflow server options. While ntop is capable of acting as a Netflow collector and server, I haven't had a ton of luck getting it to do what I wanted in the past. It's also fairly heavy in terms of dependencies and resource requirements.

    AntiVirus: If you do not want to use HAVP anymore you can try the new squid 3.3.5 package which includes actual antivirus. Search the forum for the squiod 3.3.x thread. Mobile devices: How are these connected? Via VPN or via W(LAN) interface on your pfsense? In general you can use transparent proxy on squid and select the interfaces where squid should listen to. If the devices are connected via OpenVPN for example then you must OpenVPN to an interface (Interfaces –> assign) and then select this interface on squid. squid in transparent mode filters only http port 80 non-transparent squid filters http and https port 443 but you need to configure the proxy IP on all devices. squid 3.3.5 can filter http and https in transparent mode.

  • Can Snort block when connected to a span port?

    @newbieuser1234: I have never used a span port with an IPS.  Is snort able to block traffic via a span port, or do I have to use an inline connection with two nics?  I want to have my snort box on a WAN switch if I can use a port span.  If not, I will use the dual nic and plug in before the router.  I have multiple static IP addresses.  Thanks. Snort on pfSense is not truly "inline".  Instead, it adds rules to the existing firewall set to block particular IP addresses.  Technically a third-party output plugin called Spoink works within Snort on pfSense to stick offending IP addresses into the pf engine's blocking table. So when used on pfSense, a SPAN port would really not be of much use.  Unless the traffic is coming through the pfSense firewall Snort is running on, any blocks put in place would be meaningless. Now if all you want is just to get alerts, then a SPAN port connection would do that.  Just be aware that no actual blocking would happen for every offending IP.  Only those which actually needed to traverse the firewall would be impacted by any block.

    Is there a config file for the squidguard (proxy filter) page that I can modify how many blocked entries are displayed in the GUI? It limits it to 50 by default. The file squidguard_configurator.inc has a define statement that sets max log lines at 500. Is this meaning max gui entries or max entries to the block.log file? I cannot seem to find the file that has this value in it. Anyone know the location of the file, if it exists and this is possible?

    It installs OK here in a test VM on 2.0.3. Try it again, it may have been a temporary failure.
