    @qupfer What did I bang my head over this strange 502 issue. Your solution did it! Thank you so much, even 2.5 years later!

    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.

    @Gertjan Hello, I installed the official app of vpn #1 on the crappy laptop but on the main laptop I did not install official app of vpn #2, I used it via wireguard. I am not worried about vpn #1 provider and how much they know about me. They already have my ip address since I connect to them direct. My goal is to hide from vpn #2. I don't want them to know I am the same person who used this service before. and thanks for the heads up regarding windows. I had a feeling that would come up. I know windows is spyware but for my purposes it doesn't matter since I really just need to make sure vpn #2 doesn't know this user is the same user who signed up last year. (ok yes I know, how do you know vpn #1 or #2 are not owned by ms? I agree, you dont know)

    Actually no… I was looking the source code of the hd44780 driver... the hd44780 driver serves serial, parallel, lcd2usb, etc. same driver for different connection types... you should add to the configuration the "ConnectionType" parameter, if not specified will take "4bit", but should be "lcd2usb"... don't know if just duplicating the driver in a new line an adding ConnectionType=lcd2usb in lcdproc.inc could work... I need the lcd panel to make tests... Sorry, don't have the answer, but I gave you something to work on...

    Hello, Three months later… but i didn't find any other post about that. I have exactly the same problem monitoring about 130 hosts, running pfsense 1.2.3 Some of them are displaying 0.0.0.0 as their IP address on the board. But if you click to access the info panel, you can see their actual unicast address, so it's not really a problem. If you're bored to see those 0.0.0.0, you can try to reset the stats and it will show you correct IP instead. But it doesn't solve the problem anyway, so if anyone has any idea he's welcome.

    We do a setup just like this using the captive portal.  We allow access to only whitelisted URLs on our LAN (10.21.1.0/24) and open internet once authenticated through the captive portal on OPT1 (192.168.1.0/24).  We manually list out the OPT1 IPs in the 'do not filter' box in the Squid GUI and it accomplishes exactly why you describe.

    Same here.  Seems like the Oink/Snort db service was offline etc. when I tried to connect.  Last night mine updated as well. Now the big question becomes - how many of those rules to turn on? :) Dayblade

    Seems each updated snapshot wipes snort rules and config. Yes i have save config if removed set. Updating snort rules generally fixes the issue your speaking of in my case.

    There is no FreeBSD port of Squid v3.2, in the ports tree, currently so you will need to download the source and compile your own package on a separate i386 FreeBSD box and then install that on to your pfSense box. Btw BETA5 is old, would suggest upgrading to RC1.

    thx wagonza - your reply nudged me into the right direction. if I do a pfctl -sn | grep http - I am suppose to see the redirect rule : rdr on re0 inet proto tcp from any to ! (re0) port = http -> 127.0.0.1 port 80 After browsing I found the solution in the http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,20690.15.html discussion… in a nutshell, it looks like there is some sort of race condition in rc.  so by commenting out the 'rm -f /tmp/filter_dirty' line fixes the problem!
