    Hi, I had a problem with my home network today, so I checked pfsense and discovered that suricata had blocked the wan ip. After some tests and triggering some suricata alerts, the wan ip was blocked. I restarted pfsense and ran some more tests, but the problem no longer occurred. I then checked the wan interface settings and indeed the ip list does not include the wan ip, both now that it's working and before, when it was blocked. I'm using pfsense 2.8.0 and suricata 7.0.8_2. I use PPPoE to access the Internet.

    @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! (SIMH-tape-data sounds like a "blast from the past" ...) 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.

    And when you are on version 25.07.1 or 25.07 and then click on the reinstall button for the ACME package. It will downgrade. :) [image: 1755753389733-125fc31e-ef4f-4342-b364-48c2b03446c5-image.png]

    @rosskan In theory, when you tunnel a 'VPN1' over another 'VPN2', VPN2 will see the originating IP as the one belonging to VPN1, not your real WAN IP. So far, ok. That said, when you subscribed to VPN1 and VPN2, you probably used your ISP IPv4 ^^ You installed the VPN1 (or2) application on your crappy laptop ?, if so, 'forget about it' ^^ 'as they know', the app is at an end point, and can see 'everything'. Don't forget that you pay for your VPN subscription, but you give them more then your money. They can see and use your data connection for 'data mining'. And they will make use of that data - by selling it. Why ? Because the share holders want a good financial result. If you need to connect two (your !) networks (or sites) together, use your own VPN solution. Don't use a commercial company. For example, take the ones you got with pfSense. If you really need to use that public network (aka : the Internet) to contact public servers, you are aware that the connection is already encrypted end-to-end ? That's what https is all about. 'http' doesn't really exist anymore / shouldn't be used. Also, you need to take other steps to be safe : you really should start with removing "windows 10" out of the equitation .... @rosskan said in What information can vpn provider see when I use wireguard?: does wireguard share the mac address of the ethernet port of the crappy laptop with vpn provider #2? MAC addresses travel on a local segment. Your laptop's MAC doesn't travel any further then the first hop, this is most probably your first router (gateway) like pfSense. Packet capture your traffic to check this. The Ethernet headers are not encrypted.

    This is a direct quote from their website from June 4th. "Today is day four of our effort to raise enough money to help us offset our operating costs. We have raised $5 in four days. This just won’t do it. We have choice to make. We can either continue offering our high level of service, at great personal cost, or we can cut back on all services until we get enough cash flow to enable us to meet our financial obligations. We would prefer to continue providing all our services for free; but we cannot do so and keep Country IP Blocks running."

    Go to Diagnostics > Command, and enter the following two commands in the shell execute box: pkg_delete \*squid\* rm /usr/local/pkg/squid* And then try to reinstall. At most you might have to make a backup, edit the squid package info out of the config, and then restore it, then reinstall.

    Have a look at http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/SquidGuard_package which shows how to configure SquidGuard. You can exclude categories or even single URLs from been blocked.

    Hi, EDIT: please see my post here > http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,37452.0.html. NOt sure if it is even the same issue; however, its worth a shot. I confirm this issue with: snort > 2.8.6.1 pkg v. 1.35 pfsense 2.0 build > 2.0-RC2 (i386) built on Wed Jun 1 12:43:15 EDT 2011 I am unable to see which rules are running. Snort.org : N/A even though I get an alert that my rules are up to date. Oddly, it was working on Jun 3.

    First check under System > Packages, make sure the packages are really there. If they are, then go to Diagnostics > Backup/Restore and press the button to reinstall all packages. If they aren't there, just install them as usual. It looks like it thinks the packages are there, since the menu entries are there, but they aren't really installed.

    Sussed, If you have a hole in your interfaces, snort doesn't see past the hole. This will work, all interfaces are seen by snort GUI: LAN enabled WAN assigned & enabled OPT1 assigned & enabled OPT2 assigned & enabled OPT3 assigned & disabled OPT4 assigned & enabled This won't work, Anything past OPT3 (unassigned) are not seen in the GUI: LAN WAN OPT1 OPT2 OPT4 Now if you temporarily assign OPT3 and create the snort interface on OPT4 and remove OPT3, snort GUI can no longer see rules etc for OPT4 until OPT3 is assigned again.

    I didn't see this post until now. Post in the official ipblocklist topic next time. ICMP traffic won't get logged because the system is blocking it completely before anything can get logged. For more details on logging information make sure logging is checked. Just to reassure you, the package is working as intended.

    I've had the same issue forever.  On reboots I had to remember to stop and restart the services.  I've just been too lazy to do a search and see if it was a common problem.  Now I have no excuses :)

    Did a clean install of pfsense again. a pain !! Still getting the same errors. On every first fresh install squid2 wont start after reboot. I have to go into var/squid/ and delete cache and logs folders, do a package reinstall to get the cache built again and then it works. Are those errors serious? As I can see the service is started along with Squidguard. I am using aufs file system.
