    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.

    @jrey said in pfBlockerNG syslog logentries to remote SIEM: @keyser I so want to answer this, but then at the same time (no I don't) ... pfblocker using syslog messaging in real time. no tailing of files, no other packages, just code. Huuuh? That seems very very interesting I noticed your name in other posts around the forum where you seemed to be QUITE proficient at coding/developing. Are you by any chance considering involvement in developing and refining the pfBlockerNG package? It would be SO great if you are looking into adding native syslog to the pfBlockerNG package - or an easy workaround that does not require additional packages and “temporary” edits in files that does not survive service restarts or pfSense updates. Here’s that you will fill me/us in on the solution you are using to your Greylog - please, pretty please with sugar on top

    @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

    Well, a quick hack is done in a few minutes but of course I would prefer a real integration. The only problem I see is that it might need regular updates because as far as I can say the linux/netbsd scanners of the different third party av scanners look like changing a lot. Due to the licence problem it might also need the users to install it using the ssh console. Not perfect but… I wouldn't mind as long as it works once the installation is done.

    I'm not sure if squid3 with dynamic contents enabled can handle this. An option to test may be a varnish daemon configured as proxy in front of squid cache. http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=4962

    @marcelloc: It's not a bug, you need to: empty/disable your lists Increase Firewall Maximum Table Entries on system -> advanced -> firewall/nat re enable pfblocker lists Yep, there it was.. config defaulted to 200K and I didn't even notice it. There is a bug, though. After deleting lists, the table isn't being updated correctly. Reproducing is pretty easy, but iffy - add 5 lists, delete the 3rd. Aliases update correctly, but file table does not - instead it acts as though list 5 was deleted instead of list 3. Only happens sometimes though.

    @lovin_it: Is there any way to use pfSense with postfix with my config? I am a little bit confused because I have found no thread concerning my problems with the POP3-matter… This package has no pop3 fetch integration and will not work with your full custom config. You can merge your config using custom options. To use postfix on you system without the gui, follow these steps: Remove postfix package On console/ssh, install postfix binaries using pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/postfix-2.8.7%2c1.tbz(amd64 version) Install filer package and open it`s gui (diagnostics -> filer) add postfix startup script to filer config(it will load current file) Edit default startup status from NO to YES and save file create your postfix config file and select startup script to run after file changes Not easy but not impossible too  :)

    @alexand3r: I've unzipp the tar.gz but now I do not know how I can install it on the pfsense, the command install or make install doesn't seem to work and after several searches over the web I couldn't find a way to do this. It is on freebsd ports, you do not need to compile it http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=Csync2&stype=all get the tbz package from freebsd archive: i386 http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE/packages/All/ amd64 http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/amd64/8.1-RELEASE/packages/All/

    mohandshamada, I think you need a rule before this http deny rule allowing access to lan_address at http port. If users can't access wpad file they can't get access to proxy. att, Marcello Coutinho

    Some NAS do a "fake" MAC-Auth. They put the mac address of the host as username and password. If that's the fac then you need to add this "user" in freeradius -> users

    I'm still working on figuring this out.  It seems like squidGuard won't block frames properly.  Adblock seems to remove frames and shift the content whereas squidGuard creates the frame but makes it blank. I'm loading easylist in to squidGuard using the following method: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=19756.0 Can someone tell me if the following Facebook entries in the expressions file are correct? –--------------------- ||facebook.com/whitepages/wpminiprofile.php?partner_id= facebook.com###fbPhotoSnowliftAdsSide facebook.com###home_sponsor_nile facebook.com##.ego_spo facebook.com##.fbEmu facebook.com##.fbEmuBlock facebook.com##.fbEmuEgo facebook.com##.fbEmuEgoUnit facebook.com##.fbEmuLink facebook.com##.fbPhotoAdsCol facebook.com##.fbPhotoSnowboxAds facebook.com##.fbTimelineSideAds facebook.com##a[ajaxify^="/ajax/emu/end.php?"] facebook.com##a[href^="/ajax/emu/end.php?"] –--------------------- I'm wondering if the conversion filter (regex.sed) is working properly ("cat easylist.txt | sed -f regex.sed > expressions").    My regex.sed file is as follows: /@@./d; /^!./d; /^[.]$/d; s#http://##g; s,[.?=&/|],\&,g; s##.#g; s,$.$,,g; –---------------------

    @cmb: USB flash has the same write limits as CF. Agreed, however if the USB flash drive exceeds the max. number of writes that it can handle, it will crash and burn without crashing the entire firewall in the process. At worst it would stop showing up as a drive, and pfSense could fall back to using the flash RAM to store the files. In theory, that is. :-) @cmb: The only option would be to add an external hard drive for such storage, which is difficult and not supported for a variety of reasons, primarily because the partitions can't easily be split up in the fashion that would be required. Hmm.. I'm interested in the background on why external drives aren't supported, but I have a feeling that goes outside the scope of this post. If you're so inclined, PM me with the details. If not, I certainly understand. For the sake of argument, let's forget about external storage entirely. What about network-based storage? For instance, what if I could hypothetically mount a NFS or SMB share from pfSense to a NAS device, like FreeNAS? In that scenario the amount of storage would be virtually limitless since squidguard/squid log files are not large in the grand scheme of file storage. As you can see, the gears in my head are turning. These devices are incredibly useful. pfSense is incredibly useful. If there's any way to overcome the finer points of using the appliance instead of a PC, I'm all about it. Thanks (as always) in advance!
