    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.

    @LowKnee Just out of curiosity are you referring to the Database Sanity Check reporting that "these two counts should match" it the count is off by 1 (which I suspect is your case) there was a fix (manual code change) to change masterfile to mastercat in pfblolckerng.sh you want to change this change the line from s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${masterfile})" to s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${mastercat})" There is also an edge case if the count is greater than one, here is how that goes if in the deny directory you have say two flies (because of the list / file selection you have and they have repeat addresses file 1 has say 100 lines file 2 has say 10 lines (but those 10 lines are also in file 1, file 2 is a subset) you get two uniquely named deny files and then when the "count" is calculated on the deny directory it sees 110 entries when the "count:" is calculated on the "mastercat" file it only contains 100 entries the count doesn't match in my case the issue was caused by full list I had selected, also having an available subset lists (I had inadvertently selected one of) this causing two deny files with some of the same (overlapping data) I unselected the subset and bingo matched again, was a "my bad" selection. Edit: this applied to 25.07 (and 25.07.1) and pfblockerng 3.2.7 as it is labelled on those versions of pfSense

    @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.

    @provels said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: This same mess happened to me, even w/o Acme, going from 25.07 to *.1. Blew, reinstalled w/ Crowdsec, blew again, reinstalled, clipped all the Crowdsec info from config.xml, restored config, back to normal. Crowdsec is a great concept, but I think I'm out. I never had this issue with Crowdec before the ACME update, even with updating from 2.7 to 2.8 there was no issues. In fact after restoring from a backup after the ACME update, Crowdsec reinstalled just fine, and this was before the recent release a couple days ago that contained a fix.

    @_igor_: Who maintains the squid3-package? To me it looks as if not much happens (still alpha), for this reason i didn't test till now. But i don't want to offend anyone, if i'm completely wrong with my opinion. Would test it with 2.0. Any status-update would be apreciated. Thanks! It had not been touched in a while. I tried to bring it up to date a bit last week by syncing the code from the 2.x package since someone had said it should be config-compatible, and I made it use Squid 3.1.x (which may be where the incompatibility came in). It should be possible to make it work, it just needs some TLC.

    A package itself has to provide an enable/disable setting, otherwise you'd have to uninstall. As for PPTP+NAT, try 2.0. Those issues should all be resolved there.

    Thank you…. If your willing to test a bit more. there is code in snort.inc commented out called "Red Devil". Try to invoke those options and play with the settings to see if you can get improvements. James

    Dont worry about the flow bits. These errors on the other hand needs to be looked at. I need to update snort or the alert map file for the missing this sigs. "Encoded Rule Plugin SID: 17132, GID: 3 not registered properly. Disabling this rule." I am rebuilding snort from the ground up, that's taking all my time, Simply. Im working as fast as I can. James

    Use Squid (and optionally squidGuard) along with LightSquid for reporting.

    @dvserg: And why this is necessary when scanning the flow of traffic? This will reduce the download speed. A good compromise size of 50-500kb. i noticed  many of files downloaded  are above 10MB  i already tackled file of 40MB attached with virus from user download, lucky we have local AV on workstation also but anyway if it could be stooped at firewall that woud be better. HAVP allows you to scan FTP Over HTTP. Is it enabled automatically? Last question i saw that HAVP already in 0.92a version while package version is 0.91 can i upgrade it to that version or there process of update package into 0.92a? Only manually through pkg_delete/pkg_add. So no plan to update HAVP package soon Thanks

    2 jemedia You can test ACL work in transparent mode I'm not sure what this situation correct writen in docs(http://diskatel.narod.ru/sgquick.htm), because don't has full testing. What you can do for test ACL in transparent mode: Set Default_All to deny on Default page Add ACL with you subnet and set Default_All ad allow APPLY and Browse from you workstation.

    Yes, use squid and ACLs to solve this.  Technically, you could also use squidGuard, although its not necessary.
