    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.

    @raidflex said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: In fact after restoring from a backup after the ACME update, Crowdsec reinstalled just fine, and this was before the recent release a couple days ago that contained a fix. Yeah, that may be, but if you install packages with dependencies on the console rather then the package manager, those may have (old) dependencies for specific versions. So if that crowdsec package has a dependency on an older pfsense base package or something like that and you install any other package (like Acme) which may collide with that, the package manager makes a decision to solve the conflict. Not always the most sane one - sure - but that's like any other distro out there. Manually installing packages on the console always may get you into dependency hell :) Just saying, because now it was acme, next time it could easily be some other package triggering such an effect. Cheers

    @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

    @mahoon: Hi marcelloc ,Squid +Dansguardian provide content filtering in addition to acl.Is there  performans losing ? Not at all. I'm using it in production with more levels without issues. dansguaridan + squid works fine A complex setup I could get working was: squid_with_kerberos_auth_and_no_cache  –> dansguardian ---> varnish ---> squid_cache

    Maybe this somewhat older article helps: http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2003/12/understanding-snort-dns-ttl-alerts.html Using Wireshark is too much work for me, but a concise dig command also helps: [007@wopr ~]$ dig +nocmd -x 8.8.8.8 +noall +answer 8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa.  44632  IN      PTR    google-public-dns-a.google.com. Your dns server is unlikely the authorative one for this address, so you'll see only the remainig time to live (the number in red), which is still a bit larger than 60s. You should probably check your DNS setup, but Google doesn't seem to work with very short TTL values. As the article indicates, sid 254 is not really that useful, as real man-in-the-middle attackers would probably use lower values to attack you, or at least not exactly 60s…

    There in no guide yet. :( When you install dansguardian package 95% of default config is applied, you have just to select squid ip and port. In the help tab there is a link for a dansguardian wiki that helps you on understanding how dansguardian works. the usual setup is dansguardian -> squid -> internet

    @stilez: How do I view or clear pfsense's own hosts file and local DNS cache? pfSense's host files is populated with the entries in the Host override section and also if you have DHCP hosts been automatically added. @stilez: Unbound is creating unwanted entries for my LAN IPs and some WAN side IPs ("local-data-ptr: "x.x.x.x PC_NAME.DOMAIN"" etc). What's the necessary config code for Unbound to not create records for, or to refuse to act as a DNS server for, specific IP ranges? Delete the entries from your host and domain overrides as Unbound makes use of that to populate its entries.

    This is another example where reading part of the docs is worse than none. squidGuard uses its own compare function (domainCompare()), so db_verify() cannot possibly know about the intended sort order. This is why verifying fails. The -o flag allows for skipping the sort order verification and when checking the domains.db files db_verify -o domains.db should be called. Needless to say, all db files are ok.

    If you installed squid pfsense package, during uninstall it removes squid binaries. find / -name squid will find all folders/files with this name To remove a folder, you can use rm -rf /path_to_folder_you_want_to_remove. Be carefull, rm can destroy your installation.

    Something that worked this time, who knows why.  I stopped the squid service and then started it usingsquid -d 9to get it to log what was going on to the console.  In a separate console I ran``` squid -k rotate ***EDIT**** Found same thing was occurring on a second pfsense box, same version, same installed add-ons, much less traffic.  Did the commands listed above and rotate finally worked again.  I'm also killing the squid -d 9 process that I started for doing the log rotation and starting squid again through the web console.
