    @SteveITS said in Suricata on Pfsense: It's unclear from above who is maintaining the Suricata package now. The package no longer has any active maintainer. The Netgate team did decide to address a couple of recent PHP GUI package CVEs themselves (that's the recent update to 7.0.8_3, I believe). I would not expect Netgate to takeover continuous maintenance of the package as it is not a core package of pfSense. Best case is for another community member to step up and take over package maintenance.

    @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.
  • Proxy with Dansguardian & HAVP trouble with Netflix on Android

    @KyferEz: I recently used a guilde to setup Squid3, Dansguardian, and HAVP. It's working well, except I am having trouble with it blocking Netflix on Android. I ran into an issue with Netflix not working on Android during one of my many, many iterations of trying to get a stable pfsense+squid+dansguardian config. It may be the same issue that you're having. I think it was related to the flawed dansguardian package that was available via the pfsense webconfigurator. I think it was Marcello's build of the dansguardian binary that fixed it (among other problems). I've gone around and around with pfsense+squid+dansguardian, though so my memory could be faulty on the exact cause/solution, however. At any rate, the setup that seems to give me the best stability so far is: pfsense (I'm currently at 2.1.2, FWIW) Squid3-dev (I'm at 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.2) Dansguardian (I used 2.12.0.3_2 pkg v.0.1.8 and then updated the dansguardian binary with Marcellos' build) These threads have some info: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=58442.0 https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=43786.0 This is my version of the fix, which seems to be somewhat different from some of the others' versions. Note, this is for 64-bit, NOT 32-bit systems: killall dansguardian rm -rf /usr/local/etc/dansguardian ln -s /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/etc/dansguardian /usr/local/etc/dansguardian cd /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/sbin fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/amd64/dansguardian /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dansguardian.sh start Read the above threads for more context and for the variation that others have been using, though. Hopefully, this will get you moving again. Unfortunately, I'm unable to give you any more details right now and won't be monitoring the forums for at least several days. I think the fix for you is probably going to be replacing the dansguardian binary with Marcello's version, though. Good luck!

    @BBcan17: Thanks Bill we all appreciate the work you do in Maintaining these packages so well ! I just tested in a VM with multiple engines (HTTP_INSPECT for my test).  All the previous settings are now retained when Snort is disabled on an interface.  When you enable it again, the old settings are still there. Note this behavior is different for a DELETE operation.  If you delete a Snort interface on the INTERFACES tab, then all Snort settings belonging to that deleted interface are permanently removed.  It does prompt for a confirmation before deleting the interface, though.

    @BujangLapok: Had the same issue today with squidguard3-squid. The issue was the path being used for squidguard.conf was not correct. A workaround: ln -s  /usr/pbi/squidguard-squid3-amd64/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf /usr/pbi/squidguard-squid3-amd64/etc/squid/squidGuard.conf Then rebuild blocklist DB manually with: squidGuard -db -C all I had had ineffective squidGuard set up for a while. Investigating today and this fixed it. I'm not sure if I had some config sitting around from messing with different combinations of squid 2 and 3 and their respective squidguards over time and something hanging around. But anyway, I also had a messed up squidGuard.conf path and the ln -s fixed it.

    Solution: Changed the eMail address to my "local" mailserver (on the other side of VPN tunnel) at the same time. It takes 3-4 minutes to re-establish the tunnel (although DynDNS service is up to date the open VPN client repeatedly tries with the old IP…) and in this time the eMail gets lost somewhere...

    @G.D.: Is there some other configuration option I am missing to make disabling HTTP_INSPECT alerts work? From the following link, there are some recommendations to add some suppress actions to certain Sids leaving the HTTP_Pre-processer enabled. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=64674.90 You should review them before applying. But generally they are ok to suppress. Here are the suppressions that I am using: #(http_inspect) SIMPLE REQUEST suppress gen_id 119, sig_id 32 #(http_inspect) UNKNOWN METHOD suppress gen_id 119, sig_id 31 #(http_inspect) INVALID CONTENT-LENGTH OR CHUNK SIZE suppress gen_id 120, sig_id 8 #(http_inspect) NO CONTENT-LENGTH OR TRANSFER-ENCODING IN HTTP RESPONSE suppress gen_id 120, sig_id 3 #(http_inspect) DOUBLE DECODING ATTACK suppress gen_id 119, sig_id 2 #(http_inspect) HTTP RESPONSE GZIP DECOMPRESSION FAILED suppress gen_id 120, sig_id 6 #(http_inspect) IIS UNICODE CODEPOINT ENCODING suppress gen_id 119, sig_id 7 #(http_inspect) BARE BYTE UNICODE ENCODING suppress gen_id 119, sig_id 4 #(http_inspect) JAVASCRIPT OBFUSCATION LEVELS EXCEEDS 1 suppress gen_id 120, sig_id 9 #(http_inspect) JAVASCRIPT WHITESPACES EXCEEDS MAX ALLOWED suppress gen_id 120, sig_id 10 #(http_inspect) UNESCAPED SPACE IN HTTP URI suppress gen_id 119, sig_id 33 #(http_inspect) U ENCODING suppress gen_id 119, sig_id 3 Or find the rule  #427  /usr/pbi/snort-amd64/etc/snort/snort_28491_igb3/rules/snort.rules(427)  and disable this rule as it depends on the HTTP_Preprocessor. There may be others. The link below has details on how to do that. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=74930.msg410285#msg410285 When the HTTP_Pre-Processor is disabled, I don't think that Snort can Automatically Disable rules that are "Enabled" and require the HTTP_Processor to be Enabled.

    What are you trying to do? my situation is so, i dont have have any write storeage on my pfsense (embedded) , and i dont want any additional storage on the pfsense, so everytime when pfSense is booting up, and connected successfully to "WAN" ,  pfSense is downloading the "ads" file, called "unbound_ad_servers"(aka /tmp/mydnsfile), from an additional host. How would "/tmp/mydnsfile" be created? only working with the workaround which i posted before What is in that file that cant be placed in the custom options section? inside the file i have over 40000 "ads" domains (not static, no static IP's or HOST's)which id like to redirect to 127.0.0.1 some like this: local-zone: “adserver.yahoo.com” redirect local-data: “adserver.yahoo.com A 127.0.0.1″ after the "ads" file has been downloaded to his place like "/tmp/unbound_ad_servers" , unbound automaticly uses the new domains thats nice :) so i hope you understand now what id like to do. and some additional thinking: but even if you have a something else/different inside the "ads" file, can be also used as configuration file instead of holding hosts to block, like a home network configuration … and if you have as example 3 different configuration files for 3 different scenarios , 3 include custom options are then needed, but you like to use only 1 of these 3(1file filled with information the 2 others are 0bytes files and unbound can run,  for your home office and everytime to like to change/switch the configuration you can do this by a file which unbounds reads and is setting the configuration. this should be a really flexible way to use unbound to set up configuration for different host, depending if the file has information inside or not. best regards

    Hi RJ, In private emails to Marcello (using this forum), Marcello suspected ClamD support was also not being compiled and requested that i contact the coreteam directly. I have not been successful in contacting them. I have tried contacting them via the the forum - but the forum does not recognise the address coreteam or coreteam@pfsense.org. I have also tried emailing coreteam@pfsense.org from my gmail account. I know fully understand your previous posts expressing your frustration about the coreteam / package building. I much preferred it when Marcello was building these packages - but obviously i understand that he cant do everything! Would you know how i can contact the coreteam and asked them to compile DG with ClamD support?

    It's been 10 months since the last activity on this thread. Just checking that: 1. This is still the correct procedure, on 2.1.2 with the current Dansguardian, to fix the banned uploads? 2. The huge difference in the size of the replacement binary (971K) vs the original one (11.1K) is of no concern? (actually, I replaced the file in /usr/pbi/dansguardian-amd64/.sbin) [just noticed, this is my first post, though I've been a member here a long time]

    There isn't support for that in the GUI, but it can be done manually. If you have the option, and the know how, it's best to run the proxy outside of the firewall on a dedicated machine.

    You need to export the CA cert from pfSense and import it to the Trusted Root Certificate repository on all your clients.
