    @Smeg.Head Have you tried saving the log settings page as is? Years ago IIRC there was a bug there also where it needed saving. If pfSense is set to compress logs (should not on ZFS or slow CPUs) I wonder if it might be trying and timing out.

    @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.

    @nanda said in pfb_filter and pfb_dnsbl services are not running Pfsense 25.07.1: When I checked the status of the service, the firewall returned, "does not exist". as in on the Status -> Services page? or where specifically ? and yet it shows on the dashboard services widget.. And you said this was a fresh install so ... are there any errors in pfblockerNG 's error.log, dnsbl_parsed_error or py_error (Firewall -> pfBlockerNG -> Logs on the pfblockerNG -> General. make sure the Keep Settings option is enabled then head over to packages and try to reinstall the package (you may remove and install or just reinstall) see if you spot any install errors during the install then when complete you will need to change the masterfile / mastercat line again and then check the update page at Firewall -> pfBlockerNG -> Update should have a status showing the next scheduled cron event (if that is within a few minutes just wait for it to run). if it is more than say 20 minutes away or says not scheduled (or similar) then on the same update screen force Cron hit run. when that is complete check the status then reboot check the status

    @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.

    @Hollander: 1. The thread you posted is clear. Except for the part about 'changeSID'. I have no clue what I am seeing, as in: it doesn't fit in my limited brain; either you have enabled SID's, or you have disabled them. Why the third list? The modifysid option is for actually changing the text of the rule body.  For example, you could change the "alert" keyword to "drop".  This will have more meaning once a true IPS mode is implemented.  Then, "alert" rules will simply print messages in the logs and on the ALERTS tab; but "drop" rules will be the ones that actually drop (or block) the offending traffic.  Today on pfSense any "alert" causes a block, but on a true IPS that is not the case.  Alerts are like notices and "drop" rules are the only ones that should block traffic.  You might for example only want alerts for rules that identify older versions of Java or something, but you would want drops for rules that identify known malware phoning home. As the Snort and Suricata packages exist today, the modifysid function is not really necessary yet. @Hollander: 2. Do you have thoughts on keeping separate SID-lists for Snort and Suricata? Or 'one list fits all'? (Does it? I don't know). This is an admin decision.  Just remember that there are many, many Snort rules that contain keywords or rule options that Suricata does not recognize.  No sense even trying to load those rules on Suricata. @Hollander: 3. Do you have thoughts on the lists having exclusive SID's (-> if a SID is on list 1 it shouldn't be on list two, and vice versa), or are there good reasons to do things differently? If you are using only literal SIDs in the files, then it does not make sense to put the same SID in both files.  However, when you use the more advanced PCRE options; it is conceivable to match the same SID.  In those situations, the setting of the SID STATE ORDER control becomes important. @Hollander: 4. How can one manage the part of new SID's appearing after an update? Is there a 'new SID's added during update' list somewhere? Because these need to be processed into the github-list one way or the other I guess(?) Each time the rules are updated the vendors post an updated Change Log on their web sites. Bill

    @kdemaria: This did not work for me.  However, setting it to Tripplite AVR USB with Auto USB solved the problem completely, and seemed to also solve the stale data issue as well. NUT is now reporting correct Model, Status, Load, Charge, Voltages and Runtime. +metoo for a CyberPower 1000 model CP1000AVRLCD pfSense 2.1.5-RELEASE (amd64) and nut 2.6.5_1 pkg 2.0.2 This is an annoying bug. According to http://www.networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html This model CyberPower should be using "powerpanel". But I'm not sure if that's correct for USB rather than serial connected models. The CyberPower CP1000AVDLCD has both USB and serial ports but ships with a USB cable.

    I made it smarter - see this pull request for 2.2: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/1359 We will see if the project managers think this is a reasonable idea… Edit: Pull request has been committed, so in 2.2 when the package server cannot be reached the version column will display something like: Latest: N/A Installed: 4.5.6 and put it all in red so it is obvious that something is not quite right.

    With SO, it all depends on how many Rules you enable and how much Traffic the sensors will see. But you are starting with some decent hardware. Download the ISO and try it out… Here are the Hardware Requirements -     https://code.google.com/p/security-onion/wiki/Hardware Google Group Forum -     https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/security-onion

    Snort puts the interface into promiscuous mode and thus will see all traffic hitting that physical interface including VLAN's, PPPoE etc.

    Squid3-dev: Transparent Proxy + Invalid Bypass DNS entry = ALL Domains Bypassed

    @wcrowder: Squid3-dev is at Squid ver. 3.3.13, Squid is at ver. 3.4.9 about to go to 3.5? Thanks for your reply. Are you sure about that for Squid3-dev? Where are you finding these version numbers for Squid3-dev? Remember, I'm using pfsense 2.1.5, and that is still running on FreeBSD 8. When I look at the package info, pfSense seems to indicate that I'm on the most recent version (production version, not beta) and package. There is no option to upgrade when I look at the available packages via pfSense. Do you know the location of an official squid3-dev repository? I haven't been able to find one, so I've got to go with whatever I see in pfSense packages. Separate box or VM? Port forward? wpad? Dedicated box. No port forwarding. I don't know what a 'wpad' is. Diladele looks cool, and looks like it's actively developed, going to look at it. Thanks. (Edited to add the last line.) No problemo. It seemed like the best option as it allows SSL filtering and some decent ad removal features. I believe there is a 60-day  free trial period. After that you have to pay, but for personal use it's cheap ($1 / month).

    Solved. Yes you can, the config option "start_tls" is used, independent of the protocol type. No you do not, however there is some "faf" you have to go through to get FreeRadius to operate with only the CA cert, see here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=84564.0 No rules appear to be required, the router services have access onto the VLAN without explicit rules.

    In the alerts page, find the policy and click the suppress icon to add a suppress rule to the interface. You can find the surpress rule in the Services, Snort, Suppress tab, where you will see one or more entries like so wansuppress_5437e6139435f lansuppress_544229bb9e947 In side the suppress rule you will see something like #ET POLICY PE EXE or DLL Windows file download suppress gen_id 1, sig_id 2000419 This is your basic suppress rule which will not block any Windows PE file. PE is just the name given to the format of the windows exe and dll's.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Executable You can also tweak the rules a bit to suit your needs better. These threads might be useful. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=61018.msg339645#msg339645 https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,62928.msg341417.html#msg341417

    YouTube is tunneling the traffic in mobile mode. I just found a TEMPORARY SOLUTION, in mobile YouTube is redirected to "m.youtube.com". I f you block "m.youtube.com" and change the browser setting website preference in the smartphones/tablets to desktop mode then YouTube is redirected to "www.youtube.com/education" and it works fine. If you type "m.youtube.com" then the page is blocked. But this is just a temporary solution.

    Proxy HTTPS filtering

    @Derelict: The only way to get "in the middle" of an HTTPS conversation is to coerce your users to install a trusted root CA and generate certificates on-the-fly using that CA for every site they visit.  Or throw a certificate error for every site because you're generating certificates on-the-fly and your users don't have a trusted root for you installed.  That's the nature of HTTPS.  No magic pill. I'm fine with throwing cert errors, as long as I can achieve the blocking. I have an idea.  Put that guest network on a separate interface. Create a limiter to limit the damage the "guests"can do to your bandwidth. If they just can't behave themselves, kill their access every time they do things you have told them not to. Is there a way to use the limiter to completely block traffic instead of just limiting it?
