    @firefox you could always turn off save settings on squid and squid guard and delete the package and reinstall. You could also manually remove the config from the xml file. Those are also options but I think the fresh firmware is the best approach. It does work on that version I got it going.

    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.

    @jrey said in pfBlockerNG syslog logentries to remote SIEM: @keyser I so want to answer this, but then at the same time (no I don't) ... pfblocker using syslog messaging in real time. no tailing of files, no other packages, just code. Huuuh? That seems very very interesting I noticed your name in other posts around the forum where you seemed to be QUITE proficient at coding/developing. Are you by any chance considering involvement in developing and refining the pfBlockerNG package? It would be SO great if you are looking into adding native syslog to the pfBlockerNG package - or an easy workaround that does not require additional packages and “temporary” edits in files that does not survive service restarts or pfSense updates. Here’s that you will fill me/us in on the solution you are using to your Greylog - please, pretty please with sugar on top

    @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.

    @yobyot I've SSHed into pfsense and for the sake of testing I've simply run the command: tailscale up --auth-key=tskey-client-kQ_THE_REST_IS_A_SECRET\?preauthorized=true\&ephemeral=false --accept-dns=false --accept-routes --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=X.X.X.X/24 --advertise-tags=tag:pfsense Note the preauthorized=true and ephemeral=false I gave this key all permissions (temporarly as I just wanted to verify it's working) of course I had to register the tag used also in the ACL tags pane: https://login.tailscale.com/admin/acls/visual/tags so far so good

    It took some time but it was fairly easy when you follow the openvpn tutorial. You shouldn't unless you want to connect remotely anyways. I used my intranet web server to host the database and run the frontend.

    @bczeon27: I know this is off the topic.  I got the pfsense book.  But, I want to know more about secure networking.  Do you recommend any book that teaches networks infrastructure and security? Nothing comes to mind, really. There are lots of books out there, but none jump out at me for that. You might start a new thread under "general discussion" to ask everyone.

    All traffic is blocked on pfSense by default. If you have no other pass rule that matches the same traffic, then all other traffic will be blocked.

    James I have tried the same with snort 1.25 and pf 1.2.3 I posted screenshots below of my configuration. Here is the alert http://www.snortid.com/snortid.asp?QueryId=1:11969 Edit: As a side note the snort package doesn't get along with chrome. Stumped me for a bit why things weren't working lol.

    Heh try all the categories with "scan" in the name. Try the ICMP categories if your scan doesn't show. Also make sure snort is running on the WAN interface. It should be green if it is running.

    $ cat /usr/local/etc/snort/whitelist/defaultwlist wasn"t in the file itself. It's how I obtained it from the GUI using Diagnostics/Command Be gentle, I'm a noob. Not sure what you mean by "for that interface", but I have attached a copy of the contents of /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf Hope it's what you're after. Just checking back in to see if you have been able to duplicate the snort "fail on pppoe reconnect" issue on your end.  And to see if the snort.conf.file I provided was what you needed. Sorry that I don't yet always know where to find the requested file(s). (I sometimes need guidance figuring out which directory to look in.) Sounds like you have a full plate working on Snort INLINE with pfSense v 2.0. Perhaps I should try that version. As to pfSense v1.2.3,  Snort-old seemed to work much better for me with PPPOE. Thank you, jamesdean, for all your help. Sincerely, snort.conf.txt

    They ranged from 0.5 meg to maybe 5 megs each.  They were from an NNTP client (Agent).  It opens up to 10 sessions I believe when downloading.  That's where I noticed the message the most. The pfSense box I'm using is an old PC with a 866 MHz Pentium CPU and 768 MB of RAM.  It works fine for my private LAN.

    Operation Demo is given in the description (check one AUTHNAME > then DNSNAME > then IP). If demo eturn IP then DNS not resolved you IP. This can be if you pfsense dont resolve local IP's by DNS.
