    @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

    @marcelloc: On first Box, create a nat rule with source LAN nat destination any Destination port 80 server ip second pfsense on dmz Server port 3128 On second box enable squid. So.. squid in transparent mode and all that setup on the first box?  As in, all of the cache management settings have to be setup on the first box ? Lightsquid setup on which box?  If it has to be that cache and lightsquid need to be setup on the second box, how can i transfer all lightsquid logs from the first box to the second one?  i would like that all of the data that i see now in my lightsquid reports, still be on the new setup, combined with all new data. In the past i think you mentioned that in this setup squid needs to be installed on both boxes.. i just wonder where all the settings for cache management need to be setup, i would guess the second box, but i dont see how i can have squid enabled on the first box without any settings.

    diagnostics -> service will show you if squid is running or not. Do not try to stop or start squid from services page, there is a bug on it that will always stop it. To start squid, just save config on it's config page.

    It could also be completely unrelated to that, and just how 1.2.3 would randomly sometimes stick an empty <config>tag and prevent settings from saving. 2.0.x upgrade would fix it no matter which of those is to blame.</config>

    @DQM: One more question, Marcello. How about limit size of maillog file and how does it work? Will it split to maillog1, maillog2, …? (/var/log/maillog) Not on current version. LinuxTracker did a how to for logrotate, maybe it's userfull for you. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,51412.msg287633.html#msg287633 @DQM: Can I push the log of PF to syslog server? Yes, you need just to change log settings on package gui. without maillog, you will not have database search too.

    Thanks for the reply When I installed the package, restart it turns out the error: …. "Proxy Server with mod_security" ... fetch: /usr/local/apachemodsecurity/rules/rules/default.conf: open (): No such file or directory I edited the file /usr/local/pkg/apache_mod_security.inc at line 114 and the error is no longer out When the server restarts, in the start of the module "Proxy Server with mod_security" returns the error (48) Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 127.0.0.1:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down This error comes out even if it is defined an ip different from 127.0.0.1 If the service is restarted manually from the dashboard service starts properly. I followed the instructions to add the two files accf_data.ko and accf_http.ko that I took from the site pfsense.org, I modified the loader.conf file by adding the line accf_http_load = "YES" When I set some parameters of the "mod_security + Apache + Proxy: Settings" in httpd-error.log comes out the following error: [Mon Sep 24 16:37:50 2012] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart [Mon Sep 24 16:37:50 2012] [warn] (22) Invalid argument: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter [Mon Sep 24 16:37:50 2012] [warn] (22) Invalid argument: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter [Mon Sep 24 16:37:50 2012] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication … [Mon Sep 24 16:37:50 2012] [notice] Digest: done [Mon Sep 24 16:37:51 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (FreeBSD) mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/0.9.8n configured - resuming normal operations The filter mod_security still does not filter, but I can get access to the site in DMZ That mod_security is not in the path, if I do not set the "mod_security + Apache + Proxy: Proxies Site" the site is not accessible

    After you try to start Snort and it won't start, go to Status->System logs and check the messages. The reason why Snort won't start is probably there.

    Hi LinuxTracker, I have followed up your steps to configure the logrotate for PF. I'd like to show you in deatails as below. Pls help to re-check and confirm if it is correct. Step1: run command to install the logrotate pkg_add -r http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release/sysutils/logrotate-3.7.9.tbz ( I'm using 2.0.1 RELEASE (amd64) built on Mon Dec 12 18:16:13 EST 2011 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6) Setp2: Create Archives folder at /archives to store the archiving log. I have also created folder logrotate.d at /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d ( I don't know its function. Could you explain?) Step3: Create file /etc/logrotate.conf with content below: location of archived log files olddir /archives /var/log/maillog {        # rotate logs daily (at midnight via cron)        daily # don't complain if log is missing        missingok # keep a month's worth of logfiles        rotate 30 # compress all but yesterday's logs with gzip        compress        delaycompress # in case log file in use by process, truncates log file then copies it        copytruncate # create new empty log file w/ same permissions as old log file (unsure if needed)        create 644 root wheel # date appended onto archived log names        dateext # beats me - this was already here        sharedscripts # restart postifx        postrotate          /etc/init.d/postfix reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true endscript      } system-specific logs may be configured here Step4: I have tried to run the command /usr/local/sbin/logrotate -f -s /archives/logrotate.status /etc/logrotate.conf on shell console and it seems to work well. I have also installed Cron package and created a cron job. I want this job will run at 12:00 AM daily. But I still didn't clear the time (minute, hour, mday, …) of cron job. Below is my cron job configuration: minute: 0 hour: 24 mday: * month: * wday: * who: root command: /usr/local/sbin/logrotate -f -s /archives/logrotate.status /etc/logrotate.conf Is it correct? (daily run at midnight) P/S: I'm not a linux/*nix professional  >:( Thank you, DQM

    Thanks! I'm hesitant to modify the XML config as there are references to ntop all over the place in the file and I don't want to miss any (or break something else that is expecting to find it). I guess good old "vi" and the command line will work and I can give it my best shot. I was hoping for a cleaner way to do so.

    @wdennis: @jimp: Has this behavior changed at some point? Have you tried just clicking "ok" with the blank password? When importing into windows it also claims it was protected with a password but if you just click Next and keep going it still works. Tried clicking OK, but just comes back to password prompt… This is a relatively new system, and am just starting to work with certs on it, so no change in behavior -- it has never worked :) Thanks wdennis, have you been able to solve this problem? I'm having the same issue. Is there a "standard" password ? Regards Alexander
