    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.

    Check the doc wiki (link in my sig) for the phpservice package, the example talks about the snort log but you should be able to use the same method to direct the squid log to syslog as well.

    Can you open a feature request ticket under pfSense packages to have this added? It shouldn't be hard to do, but may have to wait until some developer time opens up (or someone submits a patch)

    What pfsense version are you running? If it's v.2 Beta, check Snort > Alerts tab if the "Default is On" option is ticked.

    The first packet indeed looks weird. Can you send me off-list: packet captures from downstream and upstream for the same time frame. what you see in System->Logs for the same time frame. Regarding 2.0 - several people reported that igmpproxy worked for 2.0 though I've never tested it.

    To what end?  What do you want to do with them? Oh, and you'd install them by following the instructions that came with them.

    I don't know, I'm not sure I've heard of anyone trying. If it works on FreeBSD, the chances are good that it would work on pfSense, so long as you don't need GUI integration.

    1. Install & configure pfSense. 2. Install configure & Squid, setup you debian proxy as parent for Squid. 3. Install configure & squidGuard All examples exists in the forum and FAQ.

    well, after a while i give up as time was precious. i then spotted the apache server with mod security package (reverse proxy etc) and decided to have a go at this. out went squid and in came apache (this is on an alix 2d3 with cf) i had this horrible feeling that it was too much for the poor old alix and this was confirmed by the amount of packages etc that it installed with it. the alix started to creak and i couldn't access the web config. it became so unresponsive, i couldn't hardly do anything with it. so, from the shell….. lots of pkg_delete -f -a with lots of /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw after about 7 runs, i finally clear everything out so no packages. i even delete the remaining traces of them. i'm on the net but no web configurator. a check of the logs reveals missing dependancies. no prob's, i have another pfsense and i copy the missing shared files over. but still, no web configurator. it's starting to beat me now. i have a config backup etc so i keep ploding away. everything is working fine but the web configurator. ummm, check the config and i can't see any port under webgui so i add a <port>443 in front of</port> thinking that's why i couldn't get onto it. crash.... now i'm really stuffed, no web either now. i'm off the net with a few choice words. i now remember, i tried an upgrade to v2 and had that on the other slice (silly me, why didn't i duplicate it back to 1.2.3 before all of this? lesson learnt! won't happen again!) maybe time to upgrade to v2 as i have this other slice....... no, i get the usual probs with it not remembering vlans etc. no prob's, i will configure it with minimal lan and from there, install backup config. no, it's beat me again with "a scalar value error" and just won't let any lan be configured under v2. shock horror..... i don't want to remove the cf card and reinstall etc. i'm not on the internet at this time and i haven't got a copy of pfsense with me. so, now i'm back into the config and removing the <port>443 and pfsense is back up but still no web config. and then it hit me....... try an upgrade with v1.2.3 on the v2 slice that doesn't work. so i upgrade this slice to 1.2.3 and voila...... pfsense is backup and running with web config. phew! moral of the story? 1. have a working opposite slice & config backup before adding any packages 2. don't go against your better judgement (me by loading apache etc on an alix) unless you have time to spare 3. don't panic. sit back and think it out and you can get there in the end. you learn a bit too! now.... how can i waste my next sunday?</port>

    Is nobody else seeing this, I notice another post relating to this but for pfSense V1.2.3, the common factor is the Snort package version. I had to manually install the rules but this isn't my first choice of ways to pass the time. I'd appreciate it if anyone running V1.35 could try to update and post the result (PS although my version says 1.35 on the package page the package reports v1.34 - and yes I have re-installed three times).
