    @KOM said in Squid: "Undefined symbol "_ZTVNSt3__117bad_function_callE" after upgrade to 2.8: I'm also not comfortable with the 'move lib somewhere else' fix as I don't know what side-effects it may have and I don't know how a future upgrade will handle it. I have two pfSense with longer upgrade history running, came across the same problem when upgrading to 2.8 and my thoughts were exactly the same. But then I was diving deeper and... The upgraded one, after the upgrade: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 9415736 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 819952 Jan 31 2022 /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 952 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a The one still on 2.7.2 / FreeBSD 14: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8603484 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 819952 Jan 31 2022 /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 87114 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a And last, but not least a stock FreeBSD 14.0 REL-p4: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8579844 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 86778 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a As i see it, this libc++.so.1 as of 2022 must have been left back by an earlier update. Especially when looking at such a commonly used lib, I would speculate that the rm command used to remove it during this earlier update was using it itself and thus, was unable to remove it. Knowing this, I followed the recommendation to just remove it (or move it away to /root), rebooted and everything works fine. There is no need to un/reinstall squid. Just move away /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 and reboot. When updating from 2.7.2 or another FreeBSD 14 based release, it may also be an option to do this before starting the update to keep the downtime as short as possible. And, coming back to the concern quoted initially: I beleive that it is very unlikely that anybody will miss this old lib. Maybe somebody who upgraded an instance with less upgrade history can have a look in his /usr/lib and confirm that there is no libc++.so.1 at all.

    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.

    Ran into this issue today as well running on 25.07.1 with pfblockerNG-devel 3.2.7. Followed the steps outlined in this thread to edit the pfblockerng.sh file, then deleted/force reloaded all the lists, and all was well again. Thank you everyone in this thread for your your help and great instructions.

    @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

    I agree 100%. Lightsquid doesn't belong on a CF/Flash system. Though if there was an easy way to direct the squid logs to a syslog server, where someone could run a separate instance of lightsquid, that would be ideal.

    I am taking a guess that this log is of no use. Meanwhile, I have found 4 items from www.smallnetbuilder.com (Build your own utm with pfsense) that are a  walk through of installing pfSense. I am going to rip down my current installation and start over using their articles as guidance. Please close this thread now. Schucks… the glory of being a newbie... Rgds.

    As stated in the docs, you can proxy https and other traffic through squid but you must tell each program about the proxy, because if you tried to transparently proxy https traffic you would get security warnings.

    @jimp: I think that only works for AD, though you can setup WPAD and make people put their browsers on auto detect for proxy settings. Or just tell them "If you want HTTPS, use the proxy, otherwise you're stuck with HTTP" I use WPAD & this is good way - i can redefine proxy settings once for all users.

    @Derek: Yep.  it looks like you should be able to select a category in the drop-down box and then edit the rules from that category, but selecting something new in the drop down box changes nothing. That's not as big an issue for me.  I can still get to the various categories from the other page.  It's the actual rule editing that is messing things up for me.

    Or you can use OpenDNS and not have to use the packages.  Shallalist is ok, but not anything close to comprehensive.

    I think you will need to download the existing config file and manually edit out any instances of bandwidthd , upload the edited config and reboot then install bandwidthd again.

    Hello again! Snort is once again dead… After a reboot, it did not start, so I looked in the system logs and saw this: snort[2015]: FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_20163_re1/snort.conf(423) Invalid configuration line: /snort_x11.rules May 22 17:01:05 snort[2015]: FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_20163_re1/snort.conf(423) Invalid configuration line: /snort_x11.rules These rules were activated since I installed Snort.  Last time I posted here, they were activated and Snort was running fine (at least seemed to…)  So why now snort dies?

    I checked my setup last night. Make sure you go to the Preprocessors tab and check all of the check boxes there.  If you don't, Snort won't inspect the http traffic, etc.

    Hi, First off i would like to thank you for helping me, i found it easier to disable the pre-processor ( option 3 ) for port scanning. When Snort was installed it never said to read the manual for help nor as far as i am aware gives any links to read a manual although i could be wrong. I dont think its very polite to start off your post the way you did but i am sure you meant well. You carnt say that to someone (in my case ) that never got the option to read the manual. Finally, with option 3 all i had to do was to uncheck "Enable Portscan Detection" - Detects various types of portscans and portsweeps. ?? That's all i did, saved it and then restarted the snort interfaces

    Hey Jimp, Yeah, I saw those. Apparently you have to set up the config part for County Block each time you upgrade in 2.0. I have corresponded with the guy who wrote it on this forum and I don't think there will be any issues. At least I hope not! I'm glad to hear you think that Country Block would be worse because I'm fairly certain that it will work fine. I can get around Linux and FreeBSD to a degree, but I'm not anywhere close to you guys. So I don't want to dig a hole I can't get out of! Thank you!
