    @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.

    @GruensFroeschli: The IGMP proxy is already in the base and not a package anymore. You can configure it under "Services –> IGMP proxy" Isn't already installed on pfsense just like GruensFroeschli said?

    @Nachtfalke: @trendchiller: Hi ! until now i'd recommend you using pfSense 2.x with the squid-reverse-package, since it includes all features currently, but still depends on squid 2.7. I'm working on porting the features to squid 3.1 and want to create a new package or update or else, not sure by now… squid3 is mainly for testing so far... but seems to work so far... but i do not have any feedback if the auth settings still work, since these are from squid 2.7 and in 3.1 they might be different... @trendchiller Do you me the "User Auth" using RADIUS or other systems ? If yes then I probably find some time to test with FreeRADIUS2 package when I am at home. Perhaps it will help you when you open a squid3 thread and/or a page on pfsense docs where you put in all points which do not work or of which you are unsure if they are working. then people can participate and give you feedback. I am very interested in squid3 package but till now I do not know why it is just alpha and how to help on this. :) I did some basic testing yesterday with Squid3 and FreeRadius2 last night. I can confirm that it indeed works for basic user auth (prompted for username to gain access to the web)

    Hey, which architecture are you using? I'm using pfsense 2.0.1 amd64 and I can't seem to get it to work I first tried downloading the 64bit barnyard and uploading it to the pfsense box on /usr/local/bin/: i386 http://files.pfsense.com/packages/8/All/barnyard2 X64 http://files.pfsense.com/packages/amd64/8/All/barnyard2 but this did not work, so I did the following command: chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/barnyard2 This didn't work so then I did the following: pkg_delete mysql-client-5.1.53 pkg_add -r http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/Latest/barnyard2.tbz but its still not working…. :(

    I have none whitelisted. I tested it by enabling all emerging rules, thus all sorts of alerts pop up. However, only the (http_inspect) alerts are blocked. Blocking is enabled, along with all the preprocessors. Snort is running - I tried reinstalling, manually updating rules, rebooting. Also, checked the system logs -all seem well. But no other alerts are blocked. I'm stumped. What am I doing wrong?

    @biggsy: It's a pity that you can only see packages that haven't been installed in the Available Packages page - no easy way to see if the currently installed version is out of date. When there is updates to installed packages, you can see your current version and updated version available.

    @GrandmasterB: Looks like the same problem I have. -> http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,45191.0.html Can you check if you have the snort binary-file in /usr/local/bin? In my case the packages snort.tgz etc. were not installed correctly. Where is the snort binary. How can i reinstall this file. Now i am looking log files it gives some error it likes snort[32143]: FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_52423_re0/snort.conf(145) => Unable to open the IIS Unicode Map file '/usr/local/etc/snort/snort_52423_re0/unicode.map'.
