    @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.

    To get details about a new package, click on its version number in the list.  That will take you to the change log. On your Installed Packages screen, if any package has a red Version column, it's means there is an update to that package.

    @lautrecote: hello thank you for your post and details of configuration  :) What is correcting the problem is : have postfix forwarder listening to LAN instead of WAN write a NAT rule to redirect smtp traffic to LAN address of pfsense I think it's the same you recommend having postfix forwarder listening to loopback ? I don't understand why it works, why it suddenly didn't work anymore, and why this trick solves the problem. Can you explain that to me ? thank you again  :) It isn't the same as having the forwarder listening on loopback.  Did you mean to say "listen on WAN instead of LAN"? Are you relaying from an internal mail server to the outside world?  That might explain it but I don't know how you would get emails from outside if you're listening on LAN.

    Please read the following thread: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=61018.0 Goto Snort:Snort Interface WAN: WAN Settings: [ Choose the networks Snort should inspect and whitelist ] Make sure the Pass List is configured. Also in "Pass Lists", make sure you add a passlist for the WAN and check all of the Checkboxes (This is what needs to be referenced in the first part above.)

    I just finally solved this by using a USB cable. The serial cable had worked fine in with my other board and Ubuntu on this board, but for whatever reason, with pfSense on this board I can only get apcupsd to work with the USB cable.

    Thanks Bill, you would think that when you close the Whois page, the pfsense diag_dns.php page is still loaded in its own window. Why would it loose the session id for that? It shouldn't have anything to do with the other tab that was called by diag_dns.php? Also why does it only happen once on the Alert Interface section. If that was the case, you would expect the behavior to repeat for each lookup? Security is always a good thing!!  :)

    Glad you got it working, but for future reference: the base64_encode of the password is used as the salt parameter for crypt().  More details on php crypt are here: http://us1.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php

    well.. i've just spent a while trying to understand what could be the issue on this one and am not finding any solution.  finally my logs seem to only show the following message: ntop[8154]: EPIPE while sending page to web client and that was it. so, since there is apparently no way to revert to a previous build, i guess i'll have to just run without ntop.. which stinks as I really liked the tool. :(

    It was NanoBSD. I finally just did a reinstall, configured the basics, and downloaded a package again to test. I downloaded Arping and the whole process was done in less than 8 seconds. Before it took almost a minute to download that package. I'm not sure what was going on but this was the 'fix'. Thanks for your time!

    i have only one lan network 172.16.0.0/16 with 800 computers. i have same issue. first i say sorry to pfsense and all pfsense lover's if i m worng, if we correctly configured squid3-dev and squidguard-squid3 wihtout any error. and all other sites are works fine like if deny blk_socialnetwork then when to go to https facebook or youtube its access dined only when i go for gmail.com its not working given msg which is all aware. also when i go to banking https sites its working good. so i think its some problem in pfsense and i proud to say pfsense is very easily solve this problem but i thought pfsense is playing with his lover's (pfsense firewall user's) so we can only wait for new updates.. in between any expert solve this issue pls let me know mohanrao83@gmail.com Thanks

    @Cino: @ESPNSTI: I've noticed with NTOP; when you reinstall/install, you have to select interfaces and enter the password again. Some reason the settings are not retained. Hey Thank you so much, appreciated!  :D I was struggling to understand why i could not connect to Ntop (5.0.1 v2.5) after a reinstalled,  it was until i tried your suggestion of setting the password again and adding back the interface for Ntop again everything seems to be working again….............

    @fearnothing: Well looking at it logically, the default in pfSense is to deny all you do not have logging for this default turned on when snort is not present when snort is on, this rule starts logging My guess is that snort enables logging for this rule as part of its base configuration. Nope, Snort does not touch the firewall rules at all.  All it does is put the interface in promiscuous mode.  I promise it does not touch any firewall rules or pfSense logging options. Bill

    @Fmstrat: I have all of them enabled except sensitive data. My hardware setup is an internal NIC for LAN, and a USB NIC for WAN. I tried switching snort over to the LAN and it seems to function fine there, so I'm wondering if the issue is somehow related to the network card itself. Is that even physically possible given snort's architecture? As I look at the snort blocks', I'm actually curious as to if running on the LAN is better. When I run on WAN, I can't see which internal IP is engaged in the connection that causes the alert, making it very hard to trace sources. However, when it's on the LAN, all the alerts display the internal IP and the blocks show the external IP, which makes it much easier to debug. Is there any downside to running on the LAN end of things? Seems the benefit would be scanning internal traffic for infected machine, but the downside would be missing external attackers that are scanning ports that are already blocked by the firewall (which shouldn't matter, really.) Thoughts? Ben P.S. Unfortunately, I probably won't get back to the script we discussed until next week. I don't think you will get good success with USB NICs on pfSense. The LAN will show a little more detail. If you want more, you need a full IDS like "Security Onion" installed after pfSense or before it. Bill does recommend that a smaller list be put on the WAN like Port scans, Cins, Compromised, Drops, etc… and than as many rules on the LAN that it can handle (without the rules you don't require for your network) If you use pfBlocker (or my script  ;) ), you could also avoid the Cins, Drops, Compromised on the WAN as Snort sees a copy of the packets first before pfBlocker and they will both Log the same packets. Make sure you check out my Github Gist for recent changes to the script. Thanks.
