    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.

    Barry, Thanks for posting that. For the confused, what he's shown is how to configure the use of a Windows Group Policy to configure computers in the domain to configure proxy settings for HTTPS traffic.  It is possible/recommended to do this for HTTP traffic as well, although the use of the transparent redirection of outbound HTTP traffic makes this unnecessary.  The caveats of this configuration are that computers which do not connect to the domain do not get these proxy settings and so are able egress the network without filtering as long as they use SSL.  A good way to enforce the use of the proxy settings is to block outbound SSL to the internet which does not originate from the proxy box itself. Again, great post Barry!  Might need to sticky it.

    @wagonza sweet! changing the gateway to .252 I started getting internet access! Awesome. @mhab12 I did change the webgui to https. I started playing with the captive portal and started having issues. We realized that it appears the the captive portal and webgui must be using the same port (either 80 or 443) otherwise it wouldn't work. Since this is our test environment, we just left it on http. We still need to tweak the FW rules but overall i think we are all set. Thank you both for the suggestions on how to get this setup and working. I can't wait to try out the other PFSense functionality. Sijis

    Correct - you need to setup a Cache Manager password and the relevant ACL's. Have a look at http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/CacheManager#Cache_manager_access_from_squidclient for details on how to setup the Cache Manager ACLs.

    I m using 1.2.3 Installed IP Ranges, seems to work fine , then it start behaving strange … range collapsing etc (I was trying to define a 10.0 range minus 3 subnet of 256 hosts, maybe I was doing wrong) so I re installed the package (without removing it) That broke the config file, could not do anything in the https or at the console. I reinstalled and start from scratch again (its a new setup anyway)

    Block traffic to the squid port from hosts on that subnet. You may need to disable the anti-lockout rule for that to have any effect.

    thanks for the reply. unfortunately a fresh install is not an option since our proxy needs to be up 24/7 so serve 100+ client machines (large hospital). do you think there might be another way to edit a (xml?) file to simply include the missing lines (refer your attached screenshot). regards.

    Hi Bernard, You may want to post your question here http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,25732.0.html TB watches this thread and is very responsive to questions and issues. It is the main CB thread. I dont think he implemented the ability to have the username info blank. I think all fields for the most part need data. I could be wrong.
