    @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! 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.

    Thats all I can think of unless there is something unique about the website that hates squid.  Maybe just bypass the site for squid. BTW - Why is the loopback interface selected to bind too? Why not just the LAN?

    @kejianshi: Like I said, the real problem is that it will be hard for me to know when I have a real problem and when its a dansguardian thing Understood. There are a few situations where DG can cause problems even when properly setup and configured. In order to solve that issue, I implemented a bypass page. I know DG has it's own bypass capability, but I wanted to make sure DG would be completely out of the flow if I chose to bypass it. Here's how it works… When you get blocked, DG presents a web page prompting your for an ID and password. If you enter the correct credentials (currently just check against a text file of user/password), it adds the IP address to a list of "unfiltered" IP's that do not get redirected to DG (via the firewall rules). It then manually force the rules to be reloaded. There is a little cron job that removes the IP from the list 15 minutes later.

    @jimp: You cannot. What you're trying to do is just not possible with pfSense. Hi jimp, Thx for your replies.Having a network of pcs and a router on the same network please advice me which is the best configuration so as pfsense to be used.I don't need to set it up as a firewall nor as something else. All I need is to install a pfsense appliance between my network and the router so as to have a transparent web filtering without the need of ip changes on my network. Why wan port has to be on different ip rage than nat's ? If it is impossible please advice for the best alternative solution thx in advance what I'd like :  ROUTER=========PFSENSE/WEBFILTERING============PC                       192.168.1.1/24========transparent ================.X/24

    Looks like the pfBlocker widget uses the description for matching packet stats,, if the rule does not contain the aliasname matching packets will not add to the widget counters.

    I thought about that, however PFSense is sitting between my modem and router as a firewall and does not handle DHCP \ Traffic Shaping. I chose this because the router I am using has a really good QoS and I love the gui that shows real time usage. I am going to table this for now. Getting ready to leave town for a while and there is no reason to worry about it until I can get at least one more WAN connection to handle the traffic anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Hi, I run version 2.0.3. Package list doesn't show me "squid3-squidguard" but only "squidGuard". Search engine on the whole forum for keyword "squid3-squidguard" brings me only this thread. Is their a second repository to configure ? Or should I move to 2.1-RC release ? Thanks for the support  ;). Phil

    @rjcrowder: Would you (or anyone for that matter) be able to give me a quick overview? Or point me in the best place to look to get started? so… it looks to me like the problem must be in the install of the clamav package (see /var/db/pkg/clamav-0.97.6). Likewise, I'd conjecture that the problem is based on something that is done via the "+CONTENTS" file... Can anyone give me a clue how this is used / interpreted during the install process?

    I had wondered if it would be possible to build a https site with SSL and wrap it into the package so that when people get blocked it can divert them to a SSL/HTTPS blocking notification page.  The cert wouldn't match the website typed into the browser originally so it would react like most browsers react to a self signed cert but it wouldn't be just "error - sorry" message. Just an idea.  I know little about how you packages are constructed, no idea how tough this is.  HTTPS is designed to keep people from being the "Man in the middle", so I feel your pain.

    The error was showing squid2 instead of squid3. That's why it's was not working.

    You may need to enable ipv6 to get squid 3.3.5 listening on 2.0.3 as official package install is compiled with ipv6.
