    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.

    @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

    http can be done with any one of these packages you have tested. https can be done with apache or bypassed by varnish(new gui on development too) 25, 465 can be done with pfsense native load balancer or haproxy.

    Finally getting back to the original post, I think this is what's causing the issue: kernel: pid 31475 (snort), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space As a test, I disabled updates.  As expected, snort ran fine until I did a manual update.  The error above was what showed up after running the update.  Restarting snort by hand brought success. Is the swap space error helpful?  I do not have a swap partition on my install, as I have significant excess RAM.

    Well, I tried the "custom.rules" feature. It really does what it's supposed to do, changes on that rules are saved in the config.xml file and are recreated during the rule update. Just, it's quite slow when you save the rules, I don't know what actions are made on that post, but anyway to apply the changes I need to restart-snort manually. Ciao, Michele

    I don't know how to do that (where would I enter that command and what is SysV?). But what I did was uninstall, reboot, reinstall. Still error persists.

    it should, yes, make a new interface, a proxy vm, and a vswitch to connect them (on their own subnet) and then you should be able to make that work.

    @kevross33: Use unified2 and barnyard in Snort package to write it off to an external database and use snorby (snorby.org) to email you reports. I tried this, but I could never get anything to populate in Snorby. I'll research it again. You wouldn't happen to know of a good how-to on the web would you?

    Oh thank you ever so much for that, probably me being lazy as per usual to actually go back in and keep re-enabling it (or usually when I forget to check if its running) ;D Thank you ever so much and I will give that a whirl!

    I'm having issues with the HTTPS reverse proxy as well, however the HTTP reverse proxy works fine. Currently I'm getting a squid error page saying Access Denied. Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Also I believe I found a bug in the HTTPS reverse proxy settings, you need to manually put in the listen port 443. By default it listens on 80 even though it says 443, just manually put it in there.

    Maybe blacklist too long, more that '/tmp' size The black list was the "shallalist", where 300 MB should still be plenty. Explicitly executing squidGuard_blacklist_update.sh from the tmp dir does not give any error message.

    Finally i managed to get it work BUT when there is a redirection to error page (e.g. for a denied host) the system tries to redirect to parent interface IP address…Furthermore, ont only this but it tries to redirect to the old IP address of parent interface (I have changed it..). Does anyone have any idea?

    Hi marcelloc, Sorry for the delay replying - I had never used/installed sarg before so wanted to play with it a bit before commenting.  SARG worked fine as it happens.  I got the realtime reports straight away.  After playing with it a bit I got the scheduled reports too.  I can see plenty of output in /usr/local/sarg-reports.  I'm not 100% sure I understand all the SARG options on the GUI, but I'm sure if I played with it a bit I would get used to it. I "could" switch over to using SARG, but if it's possible I'd like to continue using lightsquid.  Does the fact that SARG works tell me anything (other than the fact the SQUID is logging away correctly and that SARG is an option for me now!)??

    There isn't a way to install them manually over SSH. You could clone the package repo and setup your own local copy (check the doc wiki) and install them from a local server instead.
