    @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.

    @michel2013: Hi, I was looking for a certain package that can show(prefere html view) status of several static ip address within the network (Access Points) . And it would be great if PfSense can sent a email when one of the configured IP's is down. For example: IP                                Status                              Up or down since 192.168.1.201            up                                    2013-09-09 5:12 AM 192.168.1.202            up                                    2013-09-09 5:12 AM 192.168.1.202            down                                2013-06-05 1:45 PM If this can not be done , is there maybe an easy way to include a PHP page within the PfSense admin environment to implement this functionality? I don't know if this will help you much but if you have a PC with Windows there are 2 tools I find useful in this instance. http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/  <– Great tool to see whats happening now and link to connect to various services and devices. http://www.overlooksoft.com/fing This will do what you want on demand.  It keeps track of all the computers as they appear and lets you know if there offline.  If you have a VPN you can access it right from your smart phone from anywhere. Hope you find these useful. DrClaw

    Not sure this was the right way to fix it but what worked for me was: ln -s /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 /lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 Result: ldd /usr/local/bin/barnyard2 /usr/local/bin/barnyard2:         libmysqlclient.so.18 => /lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 (0x280d8000)         libz.so.5 => /lib/libz.so.5 (0x283e7000)         libpcap.so.7 => /lib/libpcap.so.7 (0x283f9000)         libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x28427000)         libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x28441000)         libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x2854a000)         libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x2863e000)         libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x28649000) Both snort and barnyard2 start on reboot. (The symlink persists on reboot, so barnyard2 starts normally.) I don't know how permanent this fix is. I've always had some kind of issue with barnyard2 since pfSense v1.x. I will keep my eye on it, probably with a cron job. Hope this helps. Update: I also had to update the sensor.last_cid value or barnyard2 would die with a fatal error about that table and field, complaining about duplicate values in a unique primary key field? Something like that. At first I tried a value that was 1 greater than the largest value in event.cid but that choked, and barnyard2 died again – same error, just different field value reported as duplicate. What did work was I decided to add 10 to the highest value from event.cid to update sensor.last_cid value. Warning: Your mileage may vary with these hackish fixes.

    Limitation by traffic not supported in proxy. Try to use CaptivePortal & Radius Also, by my oppinion if you have unlimited internet tarif good idea bandwidth limitation per host.

    pfSense 2.1 is based on FreeBSD 8.3 and uses the PBI package system for the add-on packages.

    And there are probably package start/stop scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d [2.1-RC2][root]/usr/local/etc/rc.d(14): ls -l -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1311 Sep 10 07:12 bandwidthd.sh -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  325 Sep  9 09:42 cron.sh The pfSense bootup will be trying to execute each of these to start the corresponding package/daemon. Deleting these will stop that happening. The factory default config will have got rid of the GUI menu entries for any packages. And after doing pkg_delete as suggested by JimP you "should" be back to the base system. But there might be other remnants of some packages - as JimP says, a full wipe/reinstall is the way to be sure.

    It would appear that all is well.  I halted the system waited 30 seconds powered it back on an were a go.  Everything came up.  Guess I will live with it for now.  Hope they fix the problem with it installing the additional package when its not needed. Is there a place I should post this as a bug to let the SG or Squid package makes know? Thanks again for all the help. DrClaw

    I have added checks for this in the code, since people do this/report this quite often. It is easy enough for the code generating the config to not put the same subnet spec into the config twice. https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pull/482

    another way is check these settings: Bypass proxy for Private Address Space (RFC 1918) destination Disable X-Forward Disable VIA Suppress Squid Version (then restart squid and try it) (basically I think apple is being fussy because squid was tattling on its self.  This should fix that, if its the issue.  Thats just a thought - I've not tested it specifically to see how it effects iPhone)

    Hi, it does not work with eg: google.com on squid GUI. squid GUI only allows IP addresses or aliases. Aliases can be created on pfsense FIREWALL –> Alias So if you want to bypass a website like www.google.com you need to find out the IP addresses or subnets google.com uses. Then you put these IP addreses into an alias and put this alias into squid GUI. I am not 100% sure but you can use google.com in a "Host" alias which then resolvs all IP addresses in the background. This alias can also be place on squid GUI. HINT: google.com does not resolve IP addresses for maps.google.com. So you need to put all domains and subdomains into this alias you need.

    @lpallard: but Im WONDERING!  Quite different. I am wondering as well… if all the people wondering about all the borkage started nagging upstream directly about their obviously untested uberparanoid rules, would that fix something or is this just a completely lost cause.  ??? :-\ I wouldn't bet a dime on the commercial rulesets being any better.
