    @JonathanLee no way to fix this ?? to do some kind of purge to squid and squidguard and install them again The last option I'm trying to avoid is to reinstall the entire system.

    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.

    I am considering a “novel” solution to this lack of syslog support in pfBlockerNG. The obvious way would still be to use syslog-ng but I’m instead considering using the builtin syslogd in pfsense as that is already shipping pfsense logentries to my siem. It seems it would be quite simple to use the SHELLCMD package to run a small daemon script at startup that monitors the needed pfBlocker logfiles with “tail -F” and then converts the contents into a more syslog friendly format before piping that into “logger” with the local0 facility as destination. That destination is already syslogged of to my SIEM by the builtin syslogd setup in pfSense. This would probably still see everything being shipped in duplicates because of how pfBlockerNG rotates its logs (if that has not been fixed), but this way I could adapt the script to skip entries in the 1 minute timeframe when the pfBlocker reload happens. That it still a rather shitty and complicated solution requiring a package, but it seems builtin syslog support is not in the pfBlockerNG development priority list, so a manual workaround is required.

    @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

    I'm not sure if the original author of the rate package is still hanging around. As for the reverse DNS, that wouldn't be advisable for such a live view in the GUI. You could use a console app such as iftop or trafshow to get a better idea of the kind of info you're really after. You can install them from the shell, such as: # pkg_add -r iftop # rehash # iftop -i <lan interface=""></lan>

    James, thank you very much for your hard work on Snort - awesome package! I've upgraded with each new version and am running Snort 2.8.5.3 pkg v. 1.25. Snort runs but my one problem is Banyard 2 which is showing enabled but is not running due to mysql. I do have mysql enabled but forgot the original password required in the barnyard tab. Restarting snort shows this entry in the logs: barnyard2[32432]: fatal error: database: mysql_error: can't connect to local mysql server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock I looked at the snorby tutorial in the FAQ for barnyard but I know you said barnyard is now fixed so not sure what to do to get banyard2 to turn green/enabled with my password issue. Any ideas?

    Good news! Just saw an updated snort package is out. Version 2.8.5.3 pkg v. 1.23 is working with Premium Rules. Not only was I able to download all the rules, but snort started with no errors when I enabled every category (with defaults) on the WAN interface. Thanks to the pfSense team for an awesome product!

    I have found that pfsense has to be rebooted when you have two providers on the same or separate interface being when you use VLANs, PPPoe or Load balancing. Also, if I register on one interface with the same provider then try to do it on another pfsense refuses to allow it to work unless you reboot.

    I installed it fresh a few minutes ago and see all 4 octets. I do however see that the rate that is displayed is pretty inaccurate for whatever reason.
