    @JonathanLee no way to fix this ?? to do some kind of purge to squid and squidguard and install them again The last option I'm trying to avoid is to reinstall the entire system.

    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.

    I am considering a “novel” solution to this lack of syslog support in pfBlockerNG. The obvious way would still be to use syslog-ng but I’m instead considering using the builtin syslogd in pfsense as that is already shipping pfsense logentries to my siem. It seems it would be quite simple to use the SHELLCMD package to run a small daemon script at startup that monitors the needed pfBlocker logfiles with “tail -F” and then converts the contents into a more syslog friendly format before piping that into “logger” with the local0 facility as destination. That destination is already syslogged of to my SIEM by the builtin syslogd setup in pfSense. This would probably still see everything being shipped in duplicates because of how pfBlockerNG rotates its logs (if that has not been fixed), but this way I could adapt the script to skip entries in the 1 minute timeframe when the pfBlocker reload happens. That it still a rather shitty and complicated solution requiring a package, but it seems builtin syslog support is not in the pfBlockerNG development priority list, so a manual workaround is required.

    @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

    @wagonza: To allow access from the internet, create an ACL with 2 networks: 0.0.0.0/1 128.0.0.0/1 Remember to allow DNS queries to your WAN port on your firewall if you have removed that fw rule you setup previously. Thanks. it's now working:)

    I am not using the blacklist files BUT: if you only want to block http (port 80) then it is enough to use squid in transparent mode. if you like to block https (port 443) then you have to run squid in non-transparent mode. In this mode you have to enter the proxy server address in the clients browse.

    Hi, I am not sure, if the apps are always hitting the same IP or if they do a failover if one IP isn't available. But perhaps there is only the problem with one authentication server which is used for the first start of the app and after this the app is able to work with a proxy. For example microsoft.com is using many subnets of IPs so I could allow the hole subnet. To find out the IPs I checked the firewall after the apps tried to connect to the internet and then I tried to find out who is the owner of this IP/domain and which subnet belongs to this domain. Not sure if there is an other way to find out all IPs. Perhaps you can write a script which is doing a dns lookup for a domain some hours and which copies all the IPs to an excel sheet. Then you can delete all double entries and use the rest for the Alias/pfsense. If someone has got a better idea it would be great to hear it!

    You may have to edit the squid config manually to stop regular caching. As for caching specific sites I would read Squid Package Tuning. Good luck. Post your results as others may wish to do the same :)

    A package DEV will need to test the package on BETA 2.0 before coping the package to the BETA 2.0 Repo. If you would like the package now you should be able to copy the 1.2.3 package files to the same location on your BETA 2.0 install.
