    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.

    I'm hoping marcelloc will notice this thread. Not that I think it's a really a bug.  There are so many config options in postfix that I'm not surprised he would have had to make some tough choices about how to manage certain things through the GUI. I suspect any save through the GUI or reinstall of the package would wipe out the change.

    i3s belong in the "no-no"* category, so no testing for them. the flawed "if it aint broken don't fix it/production"** ** machines that are not in use in The Company, but installed by The Company for clients*** *** if those machines were ours, they would be long broken by now  ;D If we can't get a build working on those p4s, then a hardware upgrade is due. I know what it takes to support old/rarely used hardware/software, so I'm not adding to that if I can help it. Besides, I already got 5 years out of a €100 box (including the 2x dual pci-x intels), what else could I ask for? Oh yea, a pair of them in CARP ;D If only supermicro stopped pushing out motherboards (guess what motherboards those p4s are running on)… This http://www.supermicro.com.tw/products/motherboard/Atom/X10/A1SRM-LN7F-2758.cfm makes me want to shout "shut up and take my money already!" Since I always work using "the worst case scenario", I'll start planning for the upgrade soon.

    I also observed that most (now I am even starting to think maybe ALL) sites are generating portscans but why, that remains a mystery to me..  What I ended up doing was to lower the preproc setting sensitivity to low on the snort interface, then allow a "running-in" period where I try to visit as many sites as I usually visit and let my systems contact whatever web services they need, then when an alert is generated I add it to an alias that I assigned to Snort's interfaces… May not be the best but it works.  All I need now is a real attack from one of those "legit and trusted" sites and snort wont pick it up.. Perfection doesnt exist I guess... This page also helped me a lot: http://manual.snort.org/node85.html Thanks Bill for your help once again!

    @gamefreaktegel: Is there a solution for this issue? I have a similar problem that after upgrading from 2.1.3 to 2.1.5 the Zabbix Agent on the pfSense is not working. Removing and Reinstall does not solve the issue. This thread is about Zabbix Proxy. What pfSense version are you running? Could you share your zabbix agent logs and your config? Thanks

    @Supermule: Did the same and the SSL Preproc came back online no issues. Glad it fixed yours as well.  Might be an issue of looking for "on" versus "enabled" in the code when checking if the preprocessor should be on or off.  I will investigate it further. Bill

    Update: Upgraded to 2.2, and Suricata installs just fine. Thanks again. –------------ Thanks for you insights. I went to Diagnostics > Tables, and there were no entries in the snort2c tables. So ...nothing to clean out. I bought the kit from netgate, but didn't choose for them to do my install. Been using pfsense since 2010 (just before 1.2.3 releases), so I thought that doing the installation myself wasn't too bad. Successful clean install for sure. What i'll try next is doing an uninstall (completely) (not a reinstall). Then checking those tables (snort2c), and clearing them if possible. I might go as far as a re-install with the memstick method, but choosing a regular installation (not embedded kernel), and give the package a go again. Thank you again for looking into this.
