    @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 think that patch was just for pfsense in general.  Multiple recipients will work with other notifications.  Although I'm no programmer I think this is more of a issue with the actual mail report package?

    Maybe something about installing the current package on 2.1. Perhaps an update to 2.1.4 would be worth a try before reinstalling.

    @mich32: The same problem… Thanks for that info! I was actually considering offloading the RADIUS function to a Zentyal box myself (something I'm experimenting with myself atm), & having the pfSense doing auth against if for stuff like oVPN, so thanks for the heads-up. (using DD-WRT AP's atm & maybe a few Ubiquiti's later on) The idea, from my else at least, is to allow them to keep using their W7P clients environemt (& iOS wireless), with a fully POSIX infrastructure back-end, but served in a presentable manner (i.e. just the right eye-candy). I'd be interrested re any progress or insights to be shared here.

    @BBcan177: Take a look at the port scan Pre-processor. There are settings there to not alert on certain scanners and also has some other tuning settings. BBcan177 is correct.  There are a number of tunable parameters for the portscan preprocessor.  It's on the PREPROCESSORS tab for the interface.  One thing you can do is a create an Alias containing hosts that should never trigger a portscan alert.  That is the "Ignore Scanners" box.  Create the alias with those hosts under Firewall…Aliases, then come to the PREPROCESSORS tab and enter the alias name in the "Ignore Scanners" box.

    Hello Simby, Snort will use as much memory as it needs. If you goto the Snort Interfaces and edit the WAN interface, in "WAN Settings" you will see an option "Detection Performance Setting" For this, follow jflsakfja's recommendation and set it to "AC-BNFA-NQ" Then depending on what Rules you enable and how you set the Pre-Processors, Snort will use the memory that it needs. If you are looking for some other information, maybe try to re-phrase the question?

    SquidGuard redirect page and https traffic

    From what I understand, HTTPS filtering is tricky because the proxy only sees the IP addresses at the two ends of the tunnel and not the actual URL.  For SquidGuard to see the content of the traffic, it would have to have a trusted cert installed on the user's PC, and this would make pfSense the "man" in what's essentially a Man-in-the-Middle attack.  Modern browsers can detect this to a degree and may warn the user. You can block all of HTTPS through the firewall of course, but if you need to selectively block some HTTPS sites and not others, you will have to use IP addresses. I've seen some stuff on the latest releases of Squid/SquidGuard that supposedly support filtering HTTPS, but I haven't tried it or really paid it much attention as I use Squid2.

    Just FYI… pfSense seems to be a continuous work in progress, but it is still one of the best FREE alternatives out there. There are many issues on getting packages configured properly, and information is spread all over (although this forum is a great place to get started). Anyway, I found out that in many cases (more often then not), simply re-installing a package is NOT enough. Also, restore using the "Factory Defalts" from the Diagnostics menu, does NOT clear everything. That is a VERY MISLEADING name. The only thing it resets is some superficial settings of the XML config file and web user interface. Many stale configurations and files remain around, and specially those that where manually changed/created via shell. So, my 2 cents are: once anything gets miss-configured (unstable), simply backup you configuration, do a brand new fresh install ("formatting" the drive), EDIT your config-pfSense.XXXX.xml file, and manually remove everything related to the bad/hung package, and then restore you config back. YES, stale settings will also remain the XML config file, even if after you remove packages our related items using the web interface!!!

    OK, from what I understand, Squid handling HTTPS traffic will only see the IP address and not the actual requested domain.  Other people's solution for blocking Facebook on HTTPS is getting their CIDR block, create an URL table alias and then using firewall rules to block access to the alias: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=69860.0 Check out the reply by Phil Davis. I think I may have read that Squid3 can handle HTTPS traffic, but it involves installing a certificate and essentially acting as the man in the middle, which might alert the web browser of an attack.  I haven't played with Squid3 so I can't say for sure.

    Hi Gurus Let me explain my scenario (Network Diagram) Router (ISP)  <===>  Firewall PFsense <===> My Lan Segment In the PFsense I installed the the squid (Version 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.4). The problem that I am finding is that This Proxy (Squid) only block web that use ports 80 (Like www.youtube.com) but not ports 443 (like www.facebook.com). The problem to filter all port 443 I am solved by apply a rule Like this: ![](http://Filter 443 by IP's) Well, let me know if exit an alternative to filter in base to group. For example Group 1 (permit traffic 80 and 443 to the following pages - Like banks, facebook, emails, www.youtube, etc the rest are blocks) Group 2 (permit traffic 80 and 443 to the pages of banks) Group 3 (some policy That I would considered) Also I would create some different another different Profile of user 1 ( User VIPs, acccess to all pages) Profile of user 2 (User which belong to Group 1) Profile of user 3 (User which belong to Group 2) …............. Profile of user n (User which belong to Group n) My version of firewall is: ![](http://Firewall Version) Also, exit any type the report where I can review (an extrat this data) and elaborate a Report to inform the top of Traffic that the user consume. I appreciate your comment /suggestion
