    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.

    Thanks @Popolou @Gertjan for the reply. TLDR; I just want to confirm that this isn't a pfSense/ACME bug. I'm just going to delete the deprecated cert and consider this matter closed unless this is a bug. FULL REPLY: Thanks @Popolou @Gertjan for the reply. Thanks for the info. I now understand what is going on with these certificates which is a win. I was expecting that pfSense would manage these certificates and clear out the ones that are no longer needed. No big deal as long as I know I can safely delete them. @Popolou said in How do I fix this expiring ACME Certificate?: @guardian Just check to see which certificates have been issued with the now defunct/expiring CA and if it is zero (which is highly likely), then you can delete it. Any new cert renewals will still take place and the appropriate CA chain will be downloaded and installed if required. You may find you have R10 and R11 (or newer) installed through this route. @Gertjan said in How do I fix this expiring ACME Certificate?: @guardian said in How do I fix this expiring ACME Certificate?: CN=R3 Euh, that one has been depreciated long time ago. Read : Thanks.... I actually found this and read it. @guardian said in How do I fix this expiring ACME Certificate?: Is there a place I can download a new CA certificate? Normally, you don't need to. If your pfSense is recent enough, you has them already. Not under "System > Certificates > Authorities" but in the FreeBSD Certificate storage folder, here /usr/share/certs/trusted/ Thanks for this info. It looks like the certs that I have in play have been downloaded, so I guess I will just delete the old cert and be done.

    @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

    @heper: check if your logs are located in /var/squid/log or logs (i have different boxes with different version and it seems its one or the other) other then that its possible that there is a problem with multiple perl versions. for a solution search the forum or ask the devs because i'm not going to advice you how to destroy your firewall :) My log file location is /var/squid/log. What can I do?

    I don't expect this being fix until IP6v6 is fully implemented in pfSense. But wanted it to be known, that snort is ignoring IPV6 addresses and/or subnets when they are added to NETLIST and WHITELIST it seems. I'm thinking this is probably a snort issue and not pfSense since it is in the conf file looks right… Still re-searching tho..

    squid2 and squidguard is working stable. squid3 and squidguard is probably working stable, too but you need to first intall squidguard and after that squid3. Blocking facebook.com: Remember that squid in transparent mode is only filtering http traffic. If someone uses https://www.facebook.com this will not be filtered and so squidguard cannot block this. To filter and block https traffic your squid needs to run in non-transparent mode. Another possibility would be to create a host-alias and put facebook.com in this alias. Then pfsense will regularly check and resolve the IPs to this DNS entry. Now create a firewall rule and put this alias as destination ip and select "block" for this rule. you have to place this rule on top of all other firewall rules.

    Thanks for the info! I copied and pasted the info over the existing file (not sure if there is a better method to for this) and it appears to be working now. Tried restarting the service = worked. Tried stopping and then starting = works. I believe that did it. :) Cheers!

    Marcelloc, tried it but failed. Strange, because found that solution to in other posts. Like stated above. Only solution for me was installing the normal squid via the packages and then "upgrading" o Squid3! Do mind that I indeed did a manual install of the Perl package. Thx a lot for the support!

    Thanks for the reply. Two questions, ps aux is not returning the command line params for the avahi daemon. Is there something I'm missing? This is all I see in the ps output. avahi  58773 100.0  0.3  6112  2948  ??  RNs  24May12 15368:26.33 avahi-daemon: running [rooter.local] (avahi-daemon) Another thing I noticed is that the rooter name is not correct. In the ps output it is showing rooter.local (default for pf) but it is not what is there in the configuration. In some of the issues related to the "Invalid query packet" error they mention that the .local domain may be the cause. I'm assuming that the browse domain and deny interfaces are passed as arguments? Is it possible that these are written to a config file and it is not being read/passed correctly on service startup? I'll keep poking around, I just thought I'd put this here first. Thanks again.

    Figured it Out. Exclude domain/URL from blacklist In the squidGuard GUI (Services > Proxy Filter): Open Target categories page     Click + to add a new item     Enter a name for the category - 'myWhitelist' for example.     Add domains and/or URL's to the lists as needed. Entries should be separated by a space. The examples on the page show how entries should be formatted.     As with the Common ACL discussed previously, you may set redirect and logging options specific to this category.     Save     Open Common ACL or Groups ACL page (where you want to make an exclusion).     Click Target Rule List to expand the list of categories. The newly created category should show alphabetically in the list, above any blacklist categories. Find the MyWhiteList entry in the list and select white.     Save     Return to the General Settings tab and press Apply.
