    @firefox I don’t think so, to be honest with you I am on an older version also. Just make sure you do the patch package and install all the system patches.

    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.

    @provels said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: This same mess happened to me, even w/o Acme, going from 25.07 to *.1. Blew, reinstalled w/ Crowdsec, blew again, reinstalled, clipped all the Crowdsec info from config.xml, restored config, back to normal. Crowdsec is a great concept, but I think I'm out. I never had this issue with Crowdec before the ACME update, even with updating from 2.7 to 2.8 there was no issues. 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.

    @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

    Purge is on the TODO list. Today varnish setup at pfsense respects client CTRL+F5 and no-cache directives. If you look at varnish docs, you will see that PURGE is done only by administrators and also can be done by console. If you realy need this at pfsense package gui, let me know how you need this and I Tell you if i can inplement or not.

    If you can see ident auth helpers at filesystem, you can enable it including all directives you need on squid custom options at package gui or edit squid.inc file to include your conf. Ident can be easily forged, consider changing your auth method.

    Looks like FreeBSD decided to change /dev/ttyd0 to /dev/ttyu0. Changing the port in /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf to /dev/ttyu0, as described in the link below, "fixes" the problem. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,37471.0.html

    I got the OpenBSD files to download, but the other sites I have in there for spamhaus.org and spamcop don't seem to go get anything, so I'm guessing I will need to stick with file/list downloads for now.  The one thing I am not too sure on is when does the system do updates to the database or list the blacklist items?  Right now I'm seeing only whitelist numbers and 0s for blacklist.  Yesterday they were all 0s, so sometime in the evening/late the database was populated. Should I worry about greylist; it seems beneficial, but I'm just curious if it is going to block anything other than port 25 traffic requests. Thanks!

    I ever did it several times. Is there a mode of correct this issues without uninstall/install the packages? I think that it is a problem that affect the squid package permissions in use the squidguard. Can someone help me about set the correct permissions? Thanks a lot!  ???

    The squid memory usage depends on many things. On is your HARD DISK CACHE size. Every GB HDD is using ~10-15MB RAM. The 256MB of RAM is NOT the maximum squid is using. It is the MINIMUM squid uses. If squid needs more RAM it takes more RAM. But you do not have to worry. If squid is using mem and hdd it is a good sign because than squid is working as it should - caching. The high and low watermakrs will prevent your system to overload. If HDD or RAM reaches low water mark than squid starts to throw out "old" files. High watermark increases speed of throwing things out of mem and cache.

    Hi, I confirm you that picolcd driver now works only on x86, to let it work on x64 we should upgrade the package to lcdproc 0.5.4 (see http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,41060.msg212067.html#msg212067) Ciao, Michele

    After each package upgrade you need to do these changes again in squid.inc. But you do not need to reboot the box for the changes to take effect. After changing the squid.inc by hand just go to Services -> Proxy Server and then just click "save" in the "general" tab and than an new squid.conf will be created.
