    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.

    I want only proxy users to use this third-party DNS provider as it is not very fast but offers extended DNS management capabilities. Also, I did not edit squid.conf or squid.inc. Just wonder why the settings don't work through GUI…

    last i checked video caching via squid or the video cache paid package is not supported, i would contact the vendor, for the following reasons: 1. not supported here (officially) 2. they made it and therefore: 3. since they made it they will know whats wrong (they have to provide some type of support, as the product was sold) 4. you will likely get a faster response with the correct info instead of people guessing

    @ppomes: Hi sepp_huber, One thing you could do is to use thresholds to disable somes specific rules. This will survive on rule updates. We are using it, it works well. Pierre The solution to use thresholds to supress some specific rules works for us now. A good documentation what are thresholds and how do they work can be found here:http://cvs.snort.org/viewcvs.cgi/checkout/snort/doc/README.thresholding?rev=1.5 Thanks for the hint! The behaviour that rules out of disabled categories are used has not occured again … until now.

    From what i read, you could install the squid package on the pfSense and define an upstream proxy which will have everything directed to. (not sure about that).

    Yes there is. But you have to configure lighttpd to allow access to cachemgr. Or you can use Lusca.

    @0tt0: @belikeyeshua: According to this, http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_I_monitor_bandwidth_usage%3F I've got a few options. My experience has been that the RRD graphs are way too basic and that NTOP does not work. I run ntop with 3 NICs and it seem to work perfectly, collecting stats on all interfaces/subnets. I use 1.2.3-RELEASE and ntop 3.3.8. I think I read someone else very recently also stating that it was broken but can't remember who it was, I'm a bit curious as to how it is broken, it is some minor issues or feature malfunctioning or what? AFAICT it's runnings fine and if it's not I haven't noticed how it is not yet.. Cheers, Thats odd because I was beginning to think that whatever is making ntop not work is also whats making most of the other data collection tools I've tried not work. I was also thinking that its got to be 1.2.3-release that is causing the problem because I've tried it on 1.2-RC3 and it worked fine. So, maybe ntop will work in pfsense 2.0. I'll give it a try.
