    Hello, I use Squid as an explicit proxy, but I can't bypass the private destination IP addresses. Do you have any ideas?

    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.

    @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.

    @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.

    @gorkrul said in Let's Encrypt Cert via ACME ask for oathtool (PFSende 2.8): so, what could be the solution then? or what other best practice recommended? acme.sh uses a 'scripted' or 'automated' login against 'INWX'. If an 2FA is needed to passs through, then, afaik, you can't use that access - acme.sh won't be able to grab your phone and copy over the challenge code. I'm not a 'INWX' (dono what/who that is to be honest) but I advise you to go to their support (foruim, FAQ, etc) and xheck how other, using 'INWX', set their acme.sh. Their support page said : https://www.inwx.com/en/offer/api where acme.sh is mentioned as 'possible'. here is a list with open issues with INXW : https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20INWX - maybe yours is there also ? My pretty broken advise would be : stop 2FA ....

    Well, I spent some time tonight playing around with this and I think I have it. Some suggestions for others: Generate the OAuth client in the Tailscale admin before anything else. Make sure to create the tag you'll need. One per pfSense instance (and clearly, one OAuth client per pfSense instance). Give the OAuth client the permissions you think appropriate. Very Important: make sure that you can generate an API key with the OAuth creds. The OAuth creds are, apparently, used by the CLI to generate an API key. The latter is what does the trick in tailscale up. Do this from the pfSense console: curl -d "client_id=kY5Mv4h8kQ11CNTRL" -d "client_secret=tskey-client-kY5[invalidchars]CNTRL-ZXo2FfBbb[moreinvalidchars]GVT" "https://api.tailscale.com/api/v2/oauth/token" If you don't get back something like this, you'll never be able to get it to work: {"access_token":"tskey-api-kM[lotsofinvalidchars]NTRL-[stillmoreinvalidchars]9YevL","token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":3600,"scope":"all"} Here's what worked for me if the above returned an API token: /usr/local/bin/tailscale up --auth-key=tskey-client-[greekedout]GVT\?ephemeral=false\&preauthorized=true --accept-dns=false --accept-routes --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=192.168.211.0/24 --advertise-tags=tag:[yourtaghere] Make sure you have the cron package installed. Then add a @reboot entry using the full path (see above). I also added a cron entry every six hours as if Tailscale is up, this command does not interrupt or reset any sessions. I've left some bytes of the creds in these examples to make it clearer where your full creds should go. The curl command requires the escape symbol (\) in the parameters that will be passed to the control plane. FWIW, I lost an hour or more because I had (God only knows why) set Tailscale on one pfSense instance to accept DNS. Do this and the router cannot resolve the control plane API endpoint. Dumb. And I own it. I don't know if this "fixes" everything. But it's a lot of work and it shouldn't be necessary. Somehow, this package to be useful needs to survive reboot without the need to go to these lengths.

    Yes, we went to a static PHP.  However, in beta2 looks like we may be back on a dynamic build.

    Anyways, I hacked it to skip parse_xml_config_pkg if $configfile is unset. The package appears to have installed OK, the RC scripts and binaries are there… I'm just not sure how it's going to start. I suppose I could just SSH in and start it manually from the shell, but that's not really a permanent fix. What's the deal?

    Yeah, I invested heavily in php related source material over the holiday and I highly recommend the Core PHP book.  I know most of the same material is available online, but its sometimes nice to just sit down and go over a chapter and maybe learn a few new ways of doing things or to bone up on the minutia of a particular function.

    ntop package seems particularly buggy at the moment. I have problem acessing it occasionally and to fix it I have to go into ntop settings from PFsense and click on the LAN then click change.  Which seems to reset all the stats even though it was already monitoring that.  And then the password you set doesn't even work when you get into Ntop. Plus heaps of other stuff.  It's hardly worth using,  it used to work better back in .90a. I would just wait till after release once someone has done some work on it before trying it again.

    There is not a howto atm.  You're best bet is to check out: http://cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/pkg_config.xml <– Master package manifest And individual packages themselves: http://cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/packages/

    I assume it was loging stats for ALL hosts,  for example it was logging every ip/website statistics anyone visited.  It is anoying when all I want is the LAN ips logged with some basic stats stored like total MB sent/recieved.  But for some reason it is no longer giving me the number value beside the graphs either I just get the graphs. Sort given up on ntop.

    @sharingzee: This is a feature available in Monowall, but not in pfSense. It is the "Mask", which applies the shaper's children pipes individually to each destination and source IP in the LAN. It's something imprescindible when using pfSense to evenly share an Internet connection. Att, SharingZee. PF + Dummynet (m0n0walls shaper) do not work at all together.  When you try to queue something with dummynet ALL traffic comes to a halt. This is a huge PFIL hooks freebsd issue and will be a lot of work to get it working.

    @ffugita: @moo: @ffugita: hum… how I do this? Any docs? use the freebsd ports documentation, however, as someone already said… it can be a disaster  ;D the problem is: how integrate ports into pfsense?  ??? :o I want some more packages into my pfsense (ie: mysql server), but… how?  ??? Again, it's not supported.  This means nobody is going to hold your hand to make this work.

    @charles.regan: plugins –> rrdplugins --> Data to Dump --> select Host --> save settings! Yeh I tried that.  Didn't work. Reinstalled clean without restoring configuration and it works now. Although now it only has graphs.  It used to show a total beside the graphs but that is gone in the new version.  Anyone know how to enable the totals or what numbers on the graph now represent the totals.  The graphs really arn't so easy to read aye.

    Neat! That's one of the things that really turned me on to pfSense project. Even though pfSense will never allow for such packages to be installed on the "main box" (aka firewall/router) it will be wonderfull to see an "alternate 1 box" or an "alternate 2 box" running packages such as IDS, Antivirus, soft PBX, etc… but all that inside a wonderfull GUI. I'm loving this :D. Cheers
