    @Gertjan s7.vonderste.in resolves to 94.16.122.152. I just saw a dns request for that. In the whitelist on OTX Alienvault there is a timeserver: 3.de.pool.ntp.org I just don't know why a timeserver runs on a TOR node and seems to be hosted by a private person. Maybe pfblocker resolves it incorrectly becaues the time server is hosted on the same IP? Anyway I see this coming from my ASUS router which is in Access Point mode. These weird domains always come up every hour and I think they are related to ntp on that ASUS router. Since I disconnected it it has stopped. Here is an example of what I see. Scanning these IPs shows nothing malicious but who knows. 93.122.215.85.in-addr.arpa,192.168.1.8,sonne.floppy.org,unk 94.244.38.46.in-addr.arpa,192.168.1.8,basilisk.mybb.de What didn't stop was on my work computer these weird replies as mentioned above. reply,A,NSEC,1081,domaincontroller-gPHvwjYS.local,192.168.1.86,NXDOMAIN,unk But it only happend once today instead of multiple times like the days before. @Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: Where - what log - did you find that URL (DNS only deals with host names) ? I find them in pfblockerNG dns_reply log under Logs EDIT: I just realized that it is kind of in the name pool.ntp.org its made up of multiple sources so it does make sense that it resolves some of these weird private hosts?

    @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.

    @EChondo What's your pfSense version ? The instructions are shown here : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png] A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate. @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy: I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess. No need to wait x days. You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    @totalimpact Tailscale 1.54.0 is 2+ years out of date. Tailscale has made quite a number of changes since Tailscale 1.54.0, likely rendering it incompatible with their servers. I would consider manually updating the Tailscale FreeBSD package. FreshPorts does not maintain an archive of all the releases, only the latest compiled by the volunteer maintainers. The key to manually upgrading is knowing which FreeBSD version your pfSense release is running, i.e. 14 or 15. You can following along here.

    This is still an issue as of 2.8.0 / 25.07, and it drives me crazy. Gateway failure works as expected, the wireguard tunnels will fail over to the backup gateway and continue on as normal, but will never recover once the failed gateway comes back online. While a reboot will (usually) fix it, I usually just go into my routing settings and mark the secondary gateway as down, forcing it to revert back to the primary... the users tend to dislike it when I reboot the firewall in the middle of the day

    If I have the time I will make that wiki page thing, only the time is the problem. With the path regex you can match a more exact URL like www.domain.com/mail (with '^/mail/$' or something in the regex) then it will only work for requests to /mail and not for request to www.domain.com Let me know if you need some assistence.

    @marcelloc: Pfblocker has no binaries, it just create alias,rules and download blacklists. I have no idea how it could crash a system. Can you check what kind of report you have. Php, core dump? The WAN interface hangs, the system is still up with console but WAN NIC is a zombie.  Only way to bring it back is a reboot.  Very odd this does not occur without pfBlocker installed, but with it installed we crash within 48 hours. Perhaps it's memory related with pfblocker putting additional memory pressure on the box.

    On the remote agent, I tried first to put the ip of the proxy first and it did not worked. So I tried to put the ip of the zabbix server itself and still now joy. On the server I have put that pfsense under the proxy. Here are the logs from the remote client: 39928:20130214:200356.651 No active checks on server: host [name] not found 39928:20130214:200556.947 No active checks on server: host [name] not found 39928:20130214:201559.395 Got signal [signal:15(SIGTERM),sender_pid:28136,sender_uid:0,reason:65537].

That remote site local subnet is 192.168.20.0/24 The link is 10.0.20.0/24  between the 2 sites. On the main site there is another vlan which is 192.168.23.0/24 On the main site traffif from 192.168.23.0.24 does not get on 192.168.0.0/24 So the question is if the vlan routing is done on the main pfsense and the proxy for zabbix is also on the same box, could and should my setup work. By the way snmp works as  I added snmp from the remote pfsense ( where the remote agent is) and I get the details on the zabbix server. Cheers, Raj

    @johnpoz: […] he has not stated the skill set of his userbase. That's the point. Of course, the user can also use proxies to circumvent IP address blocks. Some procies have HTTP/HTML interfaces, so users won't even have to reconfigure their browsers. Dropbox is, of course, a service for losers. ;) Geeks would have their own FTP servers, shell boxes, VPN endpoints. They might even bring in their own 3G router if they feel the urge to bypass the firewall with their work PC. I've even seen idiots unplugging the fax machine to dial into the internet via an old analogue modem (with the result that, on the next day, large parts of the companies's IT were infected by a virus). The Computer Science lessons in school are actually a good way for kids to learn hacking firewalls. Not because it's taught (it isn't), but because the school's firewall is pretty restrictive. Once one kid finds out how to circumvent the blocks, this knowledge will spread to the other kids. If one these kids has a parent, and this parent is one of smizzio's users, this user might trun into a "script kiddie", erm, "script daddy/mommy" ;) - capable of circumventing security measures, but not understanding the risk. Logging is a way to get the user's attention (if it's allowed in your country). Make sure that the users know that every bit of traffic is logged and that they'll get into trouble if anything pops up which might look like an IP address of a proxy, dropbox, VPN tunnels, whatever. if you don't want to be seen as the "network nazi", you might mention that surfing for lolcats is okay. ;)

    @jimp: Did it work with ntop 4.x? Do you see any errors in the system log? It's possible it's a vmware driver issue or an ntop issue, we may not able to do anything about it directly. Yes it works with the version 4.x.

    Thank you very much for your help jimp. It worked great. Just for any googler's sake, steps taken were: 1. Install a FreeBSD 8.1 VM (I used VirtualBox but for this purpose, a VM is a VM. 2. Update the installation using freebsd-update. 3. Update ports using portsnap. 4. Build package on VM (cd/usr/ports/sysutils/megacli; make package-recursive) 5. Copy the package (tbz file) to the pfsense box using scp from the pfsense box (scp mark@192.168.15.158:/usr/ports/sysutils/megacli/megacli-8.05.06.tbz .) 6. Install package on pfsense box (pkg_add name-of-package-file.tbz) Thanks again!
