    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @Gertjan Thanks for your reply – that’s also my impression. The point is: I don’t really see any lists right now that are actually “maintained” in the sense of being actively cleaned up, checked for dead domains, categorized, etc. That’s why my main interest is more about the demand: Would curated lists really be a game changer for admins? Would they be more helpful than what’s available today, or are most people already using other alternatives? If so, which ones? And from your perspective, what would be your expectation towards “community lists”? (e.g. reliability, update frequency, categories, fewer false positives?)

    @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.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    @HFADmin If it is no Site2Site-VPN then you don't need any gateways in the first place... If that is true but you want to monitor the connection then you could create dummy-gateways just to ping the remote ip-addresses.

    I had a similiar problem.  I had enable some of the snort filtering rules and actually limited my access into my wirewall from the inside and outside.  At that point I could not figure out what I had done so I rebuillt. A little wiser, I reinstalled snort and have added one or two rules back at a time making note of exactly what I added and what affects it has on the system. I use Terminal Services with no issues as you describe.  You need to be very careful on the rules that you are using. The other thing is you might need to look at the hardward that you are using to see if you are creating too much load on the firewall, thus creating the performance issue you are experiencing.  I have done that as well. I been running pfsense for a good while now and running M0n0Wall, Symantec Enterprise before that.  You can make one change and end up, creating a overload situation on the firewall by adding a additional service.  I added one of the monitoring application(NTOP) and it was impressive but ended up eating alot resources and keeping 2 processor cores at 50% utilization.  That cause web and mail failures, poor performance via the firewall. I also so ran into IPSEC vpn issues, as well as VOIP problems. I ended up simplifying my snort rules and locking down the IPSEC rules, removed NTOP.  This corrected my errors and I have had no issues since. RC ;D

    Even better, use /etc/libmap.conf instead of symlinking. But be careful, you can ROYALLY hose everything if you do the format wrong. Check out http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/FreeBSD/libmap.conf.5.html

    @roe1234: I have read in this forum about some other oddities in the squid package, is it possible that my problem is related?  Does anyone have the upstream proxy working correctly with 1.2R3? use telnet/ssh login the server,then choice "shell" function, modify the /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc, search {$settings['proxy_port']} {$settings['icp_port']} and adding no-query behind, notice must keep all word in one line, save and you can use the upstream function. the key word is no-query, you can read the squid error log, hope auther can correct the problem.

    @riogrande100: Would it be an idea to modify a exiting xml, to allow this conf to be writtem, or best practise to use another application, without risking lighttp? I would force the webConfigurator's port to be changed to somethig other than 80 and then fire off a new lighty service just for the reverse proxy.

    While using 1.2 RC2 I have found that SquidGuard doesn't always seem to proxy users content correctly, maybe it's the way we configured it in our test. But have looked around, and according to the pfsense wiki squid is currently not working right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PfSense

    @josempinto: Hi,   I have installed the imspector package with PFSense V.1.2 RC3 (and tested also on RC2) and it doesn't seems to work…  by that i meant, i don't see any logging showing and i have done a couple of check/uncheck to restart... help???? Please do not post the same question in multiple threads. If you had read this thread you would have seen how to run imspector in debug mode. Do this and see if the clients are connection and if the messages are being shown.
