    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

    I have looked at adolfo screen shots. My ALIX nanobsd 2.0.1 system has all the same way of trying to do this. But it just doesn't change the rules as the time changes. If I restart SquidGuard when I get to the different time period, it happily implements the new rules. Then the rules for the new time seem to apply forever. At the weekend I can try this on 2.1 development on a spare ALIX system and see what hapeens.

    Okay that sounds fine; it will be easier for me to test it that way anyway. Also a great add-on to firefox is called "It's All text!" It adds a little edit button to any text box on a web page and lets you "open" it in a text editor of your choice,t hen when you save the file it gets put back into the box. Helpful for editing shell scripts and such with syntax highlighting without having to work on a local file and then upload it again. It makes a great helper to filer! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/its-all-text/

    Unless the Blacklist download/apply on the Blacklist tab completes, those items won't show up. If that doesn't work, try another browser (IE is bad, use FF/Chrome).

    Thanks! Fixed that. If we create certs from the GUI we need to have write ( conf_mount_rw(); ) access to HDD (nanobsd/embedded). After the files were written on the disk we change back to read-only ( conf_mount_ro(); ) So there shouldn't be a problem with that if using pfsense cert manager. If using freeradius-cert-manager there shouldn't be any big problem, too ;-) But thank you very much for your help!

    I just posted some screenshots of my SquidGuard settings on pfSense 2.0.1 on Alix. Squid and SquidGuard are working fine with the following exceptions: I don't enable access.log - I got "disk full" errors too often, there is only a little RAM disk space for /var and the log doesn't seem to be able to auto-rotate nice and quickly - once a day is too long. The Alix/nanobsd platform is never intended to be a place to record lots of data. If you want lots of logging then you would have to send output to a syslog server that really can store stuff. I can't get time-based rules to work - they work according to the time when SquidGuard starts, but don't switch on and off in real-time. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,43352.0.html

    The most secure will be apache + mod_security. Some protocol checks as well caching can be done with varnish. I have no idea about security checks on squid-reverse.

    As transparent proxy does not filter ssl, I suggest you to configure proxy.pax/WPAD on your dns and dhcp. If you really want transparent proxy you can try to create a nat rule on lan with source=any, destination=any , destination port=80 and redirect it to 127.0.0.1 at dansguardian port.

    Both. Is that possible? Yes. Varnish is designed for reverse proxy but can be configured to act as a proxy server. As well squid is designed for outbound proxy but can be configured as a reverse proxy. You may need varnish(http inbound and/or), haproxy(https inbound) and squid(outbound).

    Overall bandwidth throttling - restrict squid common bandwidth Per-host throttling - restrict squid per-user bandwidth (user can not exceed the specified value) This is not accelerating, it is the limit. "This value specifies (in kilobytes per second) " - means how many kilobytes per second the user can receive
