    @KOM said in Squid: "Undefined symbol "_ZTVNSt3__117bad_function_callE" after upgrade to 2.8: I'm also not comfortable with the 'move lib somewhere else' fix as I don't know what side-effects it may have and I don't know how a future upgrade will handle it. I have two pfSense with longer upgrade history running, came across the same problem when upgrading to 2.8 and my thoughts were exactly the same. But then I was diving deeper and... The upgraded one, after the upgrade: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 9415736 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 819952 Jan 31 2022 /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 952 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a The one still on 2.7.2 / FreeBSD 14: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8603484 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 819952 Jan 31 2022 /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 87114 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a And last, but not least a stock FreeBSD 14.0 REL-p4: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8579844 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 86778 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a As i see it, this libc++.so.1 as of 2022 must have been left back by an earlier update. Especially when looking at such a commonly used lib, I would speculate that the rm command used to remove it during this earlier update was using it itself and thus, was unable to remove it. Knowing this, I followed the recommendation to just remove it (or move it away to /root), rebooted and everything works fine. There is no need to un/reinstall squid. Just move away /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 and reboot. When updating from 2.7.2 or another FreeBSD 14 based release, it may also be an option to do this before starting the update to keep the downtime as short as possible. And, coming back to the concern quoted initially: I beleive that it is very unlikely that anybody will miss this old lib. Maybe somebody who upgraded an instance with less upgrade history can have a look in his /usr/lib and confirm that there is no libc++.so.1 at all.

    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.

    @Arowe95 How have you set up pfBlockerNG? For me if I do a basic setup using the Wizard the Steve Black Hosts list is already included. That would explain the duplicates :). Check Firewall / pfBlockerNG / DNSBL / DNSBL Groups, ADs_Basic. Click edit for that group and it contains one list, Steve Black Hosts.

    @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

    Reading another thread (spp_frag3) is a snort preprocessor error. Not sure how to fix it other than to suggest you turn on all the preprocessors to see if that fixes it. As far as whitelisting goes you need to find the offending rule that is blocking the address and create a suppress rule for it in the tab. I "believe" I got it to work by using this syntax. suppress gen_id 1, sig_id 11969, track by_src, ip 216.82.225.24 I tried to get one rule to handle the same sig i.e. suppress gen_id 1, sig_id 11969, track by_src, ip 216.82.222.14 suppress gen_id 1, sig_id 11969, track by_src, ip 216.82.212.10 Edit: This doesn't work. I will try restarting the router and see if anything changes. It is still blocking a category I have recently unchecked. But I was not able to get it to work as above. Haven't had the time to test using a , or ; to separate due to time constraints.

    I second that AC-BNFA is the only usable setting for most systems. (My inner geek would love to see a system the handles AC with moderate traffic) My system has 2GB Ram with 3 interfaces running at this setting @ 23% memory usage with low traffic. It is also wise only to choose the categories that are necessary for that particular interface not all categories need to be checked. Use only what you need otherwise you will be wasting CPU time and memory for nothing.

    I wasn't the one to install the wireless NIC without an antenna & management doesn't seem to want to get some so that we can use that instead of the router we now use for our wireless connections. I guess in this case I could just un-assign it. I have to admit it but I am somewhat new at using pfSense. Edit 2010-05-14 Well after un-assigning it & then uninstalling & re-installing vnStat the error went away. I still think you might want to look at the code I gave you as it could remove the error for anyone else when they first install vnStat on to their box.

    If you don't like using CP, then your only choice would be to somehow (hardcode, group policy, WPAD, etc) put the proxy settings on every workstation directly. That is also the only way you'd be able to control access to HTTPS/SSL sites.

    the pfSense router has DHCP enabled, and the LAN card connects to 48 Port switch with 3 vlans, so turning off transparent proxy is not useful to me  :( I suppose i could try non-transparent on one computer to see it i can get it working at all for troubleshooting…

    That's a pretty vague report. We'd need a lot more information before we could even speculate on what may or may not be an issue. Do they work when installed separately? Are you sure you have them both properly configured? Any errors in the system logs? Are you on the full install or NanoBSD/embedded?

    Many packages are disabled on NanoBSD/embedded because they do not work properly with the filesystem and RAM restrictions of embedded systems.

    I will assume that this is the cache for HAVP/Squid? I just tested on a different computer and things are getting by HAVP. (testing with same test pages) Now, some things will get blocked…but others are not. I cleared all cache from IE and FF before testing.
