    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.

    @LowKnee Just out of curiosity are you referring to the Database Sanity Check reporting that "these two counts should match" it the count is off by 1 (which I suspect is your case) there was a fix (manual code change) to change masterfile to mastercat in pfblolckerng.sh you want to change this change the line from s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${masterfile})" to s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${mastercat})" There is also an edge case if the count is greater than one, here is how that goes if in the deny directory you have say two flies (because of the list / file selection you have and they have repeat addresses file 1 has say 100 lines file 2 has say 10 lines (but those 10 lines are also in file 1, file 2 is a subset) you get two uniquely named deny files and then when the "count" is calculated on the deny directory it sees 110 entries when the "count:" is calculated on the "mastercat" file it only contains 100 entries the count doesn't match in my case the issue was caused by full list I had selected, also having an available subset lists (I had inadvertently selected one of) this causing two deny files with some of the same (overlapping data) I unselected the subset and bingo matched again, was a "my bad" selection. Edit: this applied to 25.07 (and 25.07.1) and pfblockerng 3.2.7 as it is labelled on those versions of pfSense

    @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.

    What exactly did you do to make barnyard2 to start logging?  I've purged the barnyard2 waldo file but still no logging in mysql.  The related schema was imported and permissions were permitted for the snort host.  I'm able to connect to port 3306/tcp on the pfSense host.

    Sorry For late reply. These are my refresh pattern rules…. refresh_pattern -i .(gif|png|jpg|jpeg|ico) 43200 90% 129600 ignore-reload ignore-no-cache ignore-private; refresh_pattern -i .(iso|avi|wav|mp3|mp4|mpeg|swf|flv|x-flv|mpg|wma|ogg|wmv|asx|asf) 43200 90% 432000 override-expire ignore-reload ignore-no-cache ignore-private; refresh_pattern -i .(deb|rpm|exe|zip|tar|tgz|ram|rar|bin|ppt|doc|tiff|pdf|jar) 43200 90% 129600 override-expire ignore-reload ignore-no-cache ignore-private; To avoid no-cache response from servers & increase hit rate. Note: "ignore-private" command may give a warning message as "WARNING: use of 'override-expire' in 'refresh_pattern' violates HTTP". I just Ignored it. refresh_pattern .dnl..geo.kaspersky.com/..(zip|avc|kdc) 2160 100% 10080 ignore-no-cache reload-into-ims; refresh_pattern ..avg.com/..(bin) 2160 100% 10080 ignore-no-cache reload-into-ims; refresh_pattern ..avast.com/..(vpu|vpaa) 2160 100% 10080 ignore-no-cache reload-into-ims; refresh_pattern ..kaspersky-labs.com/..(cab|zip|exe|msi|msp) 4320 100% 43200 ignore-no-cache reload-into-ims; refresh_pattern ..kaspersky.com/..(cab|zip|exe|msi|msp|avc) 2160 100% 10080 ignore-no-cache reload-into-ims; refresh_pattern ..nai.com/.*.(gem|zip|mcs) 2160 100% 10080 ignore-no-cache reload-into-ims; Anti virus update Cache Not so much luck Only 5% hit increased. Its only 3 days i am running my pfsense box. HOPE BETTER PERFORMANCE AFTER SOME DAYS. any suggestion is much appreciable. Thanks in advance.

    @hugo: @mellow-yellow: I need to log, not block porn, gambling, facebook, and related (i.e. "time-wasting sites" as our management calls them) websites. We want to know WHO (reverse IP is fine) is viewing them and WHEN (squid). We already have pfsense, squid, and lighttpd running. These forums seem to recommend openDns or squidguard. However those products, while excellent, appear to block, not simply log such sites. lighttpd is also excellent, but it returns too many websites, since we're not interested in employees' visiting our already approved sites, including gmail, yahoo, google, etc, which represent 95% or more of the traffic. In short, how can we simply log, not block, such sites? There are specific software applications that can do that… One of them is: MyPornBlocker. Which has many options and can log access to time wasting sites and even take screenshots. That site and software sounds like a scam site or something that are trying to sell useless software to a high price to protective parents and that tip is also useless because the topic is about a BSD firewall, not a Windows client. // rancor

    Did you try checking /etc/hosts.allow? Here is a quote from: http://www.mail-archive.com/ossec-list@googlegroups.com/msg00939.html "Freebsd does not use /etc/hosts.deny but rather inserts all wrapper rules into /etc/hosts.allow." Also the formatting is ALL: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: deny @tracer: thanks for the file, this made my day. It seems to work now. Any idea where it creates the rules to block these IPs ?

    Hey Chris! Problem is that you need to enable the HTTP inspect preprocessor. To do that… Thanks - made the changes and still got some fatal errors on startup, but these were related to the snort rule files. Deleted one rule line in /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_31447_fxp0/rules/exploit.rules and around 6 in ..specific-threat.rules and everything now starts up without any errors. Can't say I completely know what i'm doing here, but all seems to work. It's my first introduction to FreeBSD and their seem to be a whole load of options in pfsense that I don't recognise at all, so will have to get FreeBSD installed on an old machine later in the year to see how all the bits fit together. Had an uptime almost since install, with constant memory usage, so no memory leaks and a very robust, fit and forget system thus far... Regards, Chris
