    Request for Continued Support of Squid Package Dear Netgate Team, Could we please continue to support the Squid package? The upstream project has already resolved the known security issues, and it appears the main task remaining is updating the package to accommodate the recent PHP changes affecting the status page and address the decode issue. I’m unsure how to address this on my end and would greatly appreciate any guidance. Has anyone else looked into this, or is there a fix currently in progress? Thank you for your time and support.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

    @tinfoilmatt said in Failed or invalid Mime Type: [application/SIMH-tape-data|0]: (ASN data is IPinfo, not Maxmind) Thats correct but "GeoLite2-Country" is from Maxmind ... (that confused me) I'm considering simply adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list to test. Thats what i tought too ... I'll try when I have the time for it ... Edit: I can confirm - adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list at line 257 in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc did the trick - no more error! Edit: OK, problem resolved but I would like to know, whats the cause for that error! (SIMH-tape-data sounds like a "blast from the past" ...) Thanks a lot!

    @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.

    Buypass is shutting down their free ACME service: https://community.buypass.com/t/y4y130p Not sure how many (if any) users may be getting their ACME certificates from Buypass, but it is supported in the package, so that number may be non-zero. If you are getting your certificates from Buypass, now is the time to switch to another CA.

    Check /usr/local/www/shortcuts.inc, and /usr/local/www/shortcuts/pkg_upnp.inc If you have your pkg drop the file in the /usr/local/www/shortcuts/ with the right contents, it should show the icons you configure.

    That would be in the ntop config (not pfSense nor the pfSense GUI for ntop settings…), under its admin menu I believe. ntop can act as a netflow collector so I believe it is possible for it to centrally manage things like that, but that's a better question for an ntop forum or mailing list than here since it would not be specific to pfSense.

    No, when you NAT to 127.0.0.1, that means the NATing device - not the requesting device. At the NAT layer, VLANs do not matter - only IPs are involved at that point. Hope you find a fix for your issue, as I have been unable to reproduce it.

    See - I don't actually know because I've never had to solve the problem. In cases like this I'd normally recommend checking the system tunables to see if its adjustable . If not, I would recommend either a cron job to reboot on a schedule or maybe a cron job to clear the issue as you stated.

    @c0mputerking: computer\king.ca is across town so exteral ip/network  Ok so i need to set notification diffently?? and direct to computerking.ca??  I also would like systems on my LAN to use pfsense as relay to the main computerking.ca mail server is that what this setup is for? Yes, notifications go direct to the mail server for computerking.ca  They're being sent from the firewall so no need for them to pass through postfix. I don't really see the point of sending via postfix to the computerking.ca mail server but, yes, you could use it for that. The most common use for the postfix package is in front of a mail server on the LAN/DMZ to prevent spammers from hitting it.  However, you can use it to apply anti-spam filtering to outgoing mail from LAN PCs and servers.

    @marcelloc: You need first to disable web gui redirect option on system-> advanced. Then try to follow reverse proxy menu options. Disabling the gui redirect helped - thanks. I now have the reverse proxy working, bit I didn't realize that to get the reverse proxy working I had to enable Reverse HTTP mode and bind onto port 80. I thought Reverse HTTP was for creating connections (reversing HTTP roles) not reverse proxying… Marked as solved. Thx

    create group in Squidguard. Proxy filter –>Groups ACL then click add. There you can manipulate users about their access. Just put the IP of certain users at Client (source) field. what i have in my pfsense is a group for admin and group for users.

    @arch113: @asterix: Uninstall.. make sure you un-check the option to save settings. Reboot. Do a clean install and re-configure Snort. That worked…  I hope I dont have to do that too often...... If you upgrade to 2.1-RELEASE of pfSense these kinds of issues very likely will not happen anymore.  The 2.1 code base uses PBI to manage packages.  This is a huge improvement over the TBZ process in 2.0.x.  Under the old system, any update of a package runs the risk of overwriting some critical shared library with a different version than might have been placed there by existing packages.  So in that case something will break. Under the 2.1 code base with PBI, each package gets installed in the equivalent of its own "chroot jail" (not a perfectly accurate analogy, to be sure, but close enough for this discussion  ;D ).  This way each package can have its own private copy of "shared" libraries.  In effect they really are not shared anymore.  This prevents the problem where one package overwrites some critical library used by a different package.

    @fragged: 2.0.3 is the minimum supported version for the current Snort package from what I've gathered from bmeek's posts. Yes, fragged is correct about the pfSense version.  Sorry I did not notice your pfSense version in your original post.  Upgrade to at least 2.0.3, and 2.1-RELEASE is even better. Bill

    @tgordon: I have squid 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.3 installed on PFSENSE in transparent mode with squidGuard 1.4_4 pkg v.1.9.5. I cannot get the whitelist to work under the access control section of the proxy. It does work if I put the domain names in the General section under "Bypass proxy for these destination IPs". This is not ideal though as it does not work for sub domains, so I have to add all possible sub domains to this line as well. while using squiguard, you need to include it on it's acls as all requests will be forwarded to it. @tgordon: Also, this is only a 1 line text box, so it is getting very long. You can also include an alias name on this field

    You should update it periodically. A cron job is not recommended unless you know for sure the URL source allows periodic fetching. Some of them state they do not allow it, or say it's frowned upon, etc.
