    @andrew_cb said in haproxy 0.63_2 weird behavior, edits not working: @iSagen @TheCyborgWeasel The issue is likely the same as in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178348/haproxy-backend-port-changes-are-not-applied/ Try adding load-server-state-from-file none to the Advanced Settings > Backend pass thru section of each backend. Great! I will do this.

    @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.

    @keyser Clarify "it makes sense if the GEOIP DB has that size" are you referencing the asn data as I have shown or the maxmind data? the asn data takes all of 15 seconds to download and process. Not really any "magic" going on there, you can see the mmdb is only a download referenced and the asn.csv.gz is basically just unzipped. I can't comment on the maxmind data specifically because I don't use for my geo location. But I can see what the code should be doing. seeing your actual log file will help determine where your specific spike may be coming from, but if I had to guess from looking at the code and my timing with respect to the asn parts of it I would guess this is most likely to be an issue with the maxmind parts - timing should be in the log. can you change when it runs ? no, not directly, there is no way to do this without changing the code to target a specific time when it creates the cron job in the first place. No you can't change the timing of the cron job and have it stick, it will eventually just go random again. On the other hand, yes, because I changed the code here so it always creates the same "not so random" time.. runnning at same time every day since this code change first became available in the pfblockerNG update for 24.11 that came out months ago, well before 25.07 curious you originally said "noticed this after upgrading to 25.07 and pfb 3.2.7" were you running the "new" format of asn data before? (would have only been possible if you upgraded from 24.11 with the latest version of pfb installed) you would have entered and ASN key at some point to make it work. did you do that under the prior version and just now with 25.07) it's likely not significant, but then again .... That likely won't help your spike, other than moving it to a different time. I moved it here to a static ("not so random") time for other reasons, nothing to do with system load at the time.. Log files would be helpful. (just the snippet that applies to this time, from extras, error and pfblockerng logs there may be nothing in error or pfblockerng related to the time it is running. .

    @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.

    @MarvinFS said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: on the other hand I might report it... It's been years since the Crowdsec package was first released for pfSense and it has yet to be added as an official package, not sure why. So prob better to report it because who knows if it ever will be released. I waited a while for the official package before installing Crowdsec, but gave up and have been using it for at least 6 months without issue until the ACME update. I try not to install anything outside the official packages, it's the only one that I have done this way. I will just have to be more careful with updates, and maybe uninstall Crowdsec when applying other updates first.

    Strangely enough, checking the system 4 days later, I now see that Wireguard service is reported running! The last thing I did 4 days ago was to disable Wireguard service monitoring by the Service Watchdog. Anyway, even when it was reported stopped at first, 4 days ago, the tunnels were working flawlessly. Very strange. I will keep an eye on it.

    @biggsy: Use filezilla. By the way, pfSense is built on FreeBSD, which is not Linux. EDIT: Thinks…  why would you want to upload a bunch of files to a firewall? Thanks, didn't think it was that simple!  Enabled Secure Shell, setup NAT on Pfsense and the load sharing router I have in front of pfsense, access with Filezilla is a breeze!  (Filezilla has been my choice for sometime). I thought FreeBSD was a flavour of linux (hangs head in shame). I don't strictly use Pfsense as a firewall, I use it more for the captive portal features to provide WiFi access to a large pub.  My captive portal asks for a name, email and postcode, and these are stored (one user per line) in a file which is rotated each day, with a maximum of 360 files stored.  These logs are available to view on the GUI, and you can click a button to kick the user off the captive portal if you believe the details given are a little suspect.  When they get the captive portal page thrown back at them, there is a red warning asking them to check the details.  Three warnings given bans them for 3 days.  I was considering implementing email validation using a send email with a clickable link, but this just seemed to complicated with having to allow them unresticted access for a period of time to check their emails, and then you also get people who can't access their emails on the move. As such, I have around 200 log files I would like to shift from one system to another as part of an upgrade.  I would prefer to retain the log files on the system rather than starting again from zero.

    I have two sites running Squid (2.7.9 v4.3.3) and Dans Guardian (2.12.0.3 v.0.1.8) About every 10-15 minutes, the logs show: DansGuardian: [nnnnn] Error Connecting to Proxy. I've tried increasing the Proxy Timeout from 30 to 40s and this has not fixed the problem. Any ideas as to what is causing this error?

    Thanks for the response. I was able to get it working. It was a combination of conflicting squid versions (dansguardian installs squid 2.7 and I had installed squid 3) and I also had to manually set the ip address and port of squid in the Dansguardian config even though I'm only using the defaults. I think it might be a left-over quirk from the multiple squid configuration files causing problems. Now, I'm trying to figure out why requests going through Dansguardian/Squid are so slow, but I'll open a new topic for that.

    @Mr.: On another note… Is it possible to run snort plug-in in inline mode and make it drop packets instead of blocking the source IP? But maybe that needs a new post ;) No, it won't run in true inline mode where it drops packets itself.  The blocking action is the best available for now.  If you construct a proper HOME_NET variable using the Whitelist tab and Aliases, then you can set the block mode to BOTH and be guaranteed to kill the bad traffic without killing a friendly IP.  When set to BOTH, the blocking module will test each IP address individually against the whitelist and only block the one NOT in the list.  The idea is communication to/from the "bad host" is blocked, but hosts in your HOME_NET or whitelist can still communicate to the "good hosts". The current logic for auto-generating the HOME_NET variable and default whitelist is not perfect.  To get it to work as described above in the current version requires a custom whitelist and HOME_NET.  Some changes are being discussed in this thread to make this happen automatically: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,61891.msg334030.html#msg334030 Related to your original post about enabling xff, I have already made it a default for the next package update.

    @Legion: Try and download the test files from http://www.eicar.org/85-0-Download.html I'm 99% sure all is ok, but what should I see when I try to download the test eicar file?  Am I supposed to get a warning that Clamd blocked something or should the download process just not do anything?  When I click on the "Download Anti Malware Test File" my browser shows the spinning icon for about 1/2 second then nothing happens.  ??? Thx UPDATE:  I found the warning… /var/log/clamav/clamd.log has /tmp/tfemgsEy: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND

    Bill thanks for your reply :). Sounds as pretty good solution, there is enough CPU and free memory to run multiple instances of snort (different interfaces). I will problably only enable the virus and malware rules of snort on the LAN interface. As that's the reasons why I might need the local IP.

    Just select interfaces you want squid to listen on. An alternative for virtual hosts is to listen squid on 127.0.0.1(loopback) and create nat rules for interfaces/virtual ips you what to squid be available.

    You probably cannot compile things on pfsense because the dependencies are not installed because a firewall do not need to compile packages. So you should compile this package on a freebsd 8.1 system (pfsense 2.0.x) or freebsd 8.3 (pfsense 2.1) and build there the .tbz. I read here in the forum that it is possible to create/build .tbz packages on another system and then copy this to pfsense and install it but I do not know the command lines for that. I know that user marcelloc posted on some other threads how to do that because other users asked for that. Perhaps the forum search will give you some success.
