    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @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.

    @tinfoilmatt said in Failed or invalid Mime Type: [application/SIMH-tape-data|0]: (ASN data is IPinfo, not Maxmind) Thats correct but "GeoLite2-Country" is from Maxmind ... (that confused me) I'm considering simply adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list to test. Thats what i tought too ... I'll try when I have the time for it ... Edit: I can confirm - adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list at line 257 in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc did the trick - no more error! Edit: OK, problem resolved but I would like to know, whats the cause for that error! (SIMH-tape-data sounds like a "blast from the past" ...) Thanks a lot!

    @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.

    @renegade Not here and it works fine - [image: 1755691803117-screenshot-2025-08-20-at-8.09.08-am.png] I don't use the email notifications for available updates. Maybe if you are using that it is confused ? The update to 1.0 was applied when it became available (under 25.07) and the system has since been updated to 25.07.01. the only package the was updated during the 25.07 > 25.07.01 process was Nexus, which went to 25.07.1_1 All other packages (I use) remained untouched when going to 25.07.1

    I have Wireguard installed on my firewalls. I have about 12 firewalls and most of them connect back to the main firewall which allows the connection to the servers in the main building. I setup a tunnel on each and then added each location as a peer on the Main firewall. This seemed to work except that the gateway. unde3r Monitor IP it only allows one IP address. So the first one works and shows connected fine, but the other 2 are red and do not connect. Everything seems to work until I added a 3rd peer and then the 1st peer showed as if it was offline even though it looked fine and I was able to connect to devices on that network. Am I supposed to add multiple gateways to the Main firewall so that shows as up? Is this the right way for the tunnels between the buildings which need access will work - By adding a tunnel at that location and just adding a peer to the main location?

    I'm not sure if the original author of the rate package is still hanging around. As for the reverse DNS, that wouldn't be advisable for such a live view in the GUI. You could use a console app such as iftop or trafshow to get a better idea of the kind of info you're really after. You can install them from the shell, such as: # pkg_add -r iftop # rehash # iftop -i <lan interface=""></lan>

    James, thank you very much for your hard work on Snort - awesome package! I've upgraded with each new version and am running Snort 2.8.5.3 pkg v. 1.25. Snort runs but my one problem is Banyard 2 which is showing enabled but is not running due to mysql. I do have mysql enabled but forgot the original password required in the barnyard tab. Restarting snort shows this entry in the logs: barnyard2[32432]: fatal error: database: mysql_error: can't connect to local mysql server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock I looked at the snorby tutorial in the FAQ for barnyard but I know you said barnyard is now fixed so not sure what to do to get banyard2 to turn green/enabled with my password issue. Any ideas?

    Good news! Just saw an updated snort package is out. Version 2.8.5.3 pkg v. 1.23 is working with Premium Rules. Not only was I able to download all the rules, but snort started with no errors when I enabled every category (with defaults) on the WAN interface. Thanks to the pfSense team for an awesome product!

    I have found that pfsense has to be rebooted when you have two providers on the same or separate interface being when you use VLANs, PPPoe or Load balancing. Also, if I register on one interface with the same provider then try to do it on another pfsense refuses to allow it to work unless you reboot.

    I installed it fresh a few minutes ago and see all 4 octets. I do however see that the rate that is displayed is pretty inaccurate for whatever reason.
