    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

    marcelloc, I watched that video and that is basically what I did. The only diffrence is, that in the video: Log store directory: /var/squid/logs And I had: Log store directory: /var/squid/log After changing that, it now works! Thank You and for your work on pfBlocker[which I might have a question for you, in the pfBlocker thread] will also donate soon :)

    Not sure how to do this with acls, but you can copy squid.conf file and run a second daemon on other port. Or install a virtual machine with squid for vlan 5.

    Does anyone have any idea about this?  This seems to be an important concept of Snort that I'd like to learn.  Once again, for all enabled rules, some only alert, while other alert and block.  What determines blocking?

    Because relayd does not support udp in general, but does support DNS. From the relayd.conf man page: The protocol directive is available for a number of different application     layer protocols.  There is no generic handler for UDP-based protocols     because it is a stateless datagram-based protocol which has to look into     the application layer protocol to find any possible state information. And then: dns protocol             (UDP) Domain Name System (DNS) protocol.  The requested IDs in             the DNS header will be used to match the state.  relayd(8)             replaces these IDs with random values to compensate for             predictable values generated by some hosts. http protocol             Handle the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP, or "HTTPS" if             encapsulated in an SSL tunnel). [tcp] protocol             Generic handler for TCP-based protocols.  This is the default.

    Hi Marcelloc, Thanks for your answer, but I did exactly that. I have serveral other suppressions and they work properly; they don't show up in the alert list and they don't get blocked… With this one they don't show up in the alert list, but they get blocked(?)

    Squidguard has a gui option for it. Without squidguard, include file extension/mime types custom acls in squid gui. To find an acl that exclude some file types, just Google for squid +acl +file + extension

    Ok that seems to have fixed it, now it listens on both lan and loop when both selected in the gui Thanks! But I did not see it download the actual package .tbz file – guess I could completely uninstall it and then check with pkg_info to see if unbound its gets removed and if it then download loads it. But since it working and on current version I think will leave it until 1.4.15 comes out to test ;) Thanks again for the fix! But kind of curious still about the out of sync other packages. So 1.4.14 says it needs expat-2.0.1_2, but have _1 installed -- can I force removal and then install _2 -- but could that break git, cuz I use that like once a week when new changes come out.
