    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 certainly hope so! The only reason I am not using haproxy exclusively on my firewall is the inability to get notified if haproxy dies (and get automatically restarted). I have enough Linux/Unix background to maintain the package - just not in FreeBSD.  But, I would be willing to be a tester…

    I'm still not sure what is causing this. I see it on only certain routers. I have several customer routers that ntop runs for months on, or indefinitely. And my main router here at work won't run it for more than 10 minutes before it crashes. It's very hit and miss.

    Just installed 2.0b and had this issue myself, you can fix it by ssh'ing to the pfsense box and creating a symlink for this file against the newer .5 file: ln -s /lib/libz.so.5 /lib/libz.so.4 Then you can run it manually (or use the GUI): /usr/local/bandwidthd/bandwidthd Bandwidthd maintainer should probably be notified of this issue to update their package.

    @Grey: Short notice: I fixed the issue by installing libiconv and texinfo packages manually gate:/usr/local/libexec/nagios# ./check_procs /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "check_procs" gate:/usr/local/libexec/nagios#  ldd ./check_load ./check_load: libintl.so.8 => not found (0x0) libiconv.so.3 => not found (0x0) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x28174000) gate:/usr/local/libexec/nagios#  pkg_add -r libiconv Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/Latest/libiconv.tbz...

But please (to the maintainer auf the package) fix those dependency issues, so one hasn't to manually add packages, that are perhaps overwritten/forgotten after updating the base system. At least deliver the needed libraries with the package :) Thankies! J. With 1.2.3 released, I would just like to second this request. There also appears to be a bug sometimes where the "state" of the enabled check box is lost or reversed. I have seen instances where the service is not running when the box is checked, but if you uncheck it and then save, it will start the service. I believe, if you leave the checkbox alone and just hit save it will toggle the state of the service too, so it's almost like it's always toggling it and the checkbox is actually not used. If possible, SSL support for NRPE would be great as well.

    Yes. I have been using it long enough now for the logs to rotate. It works as stated in the README except for 2 strange problems: The logs do not rotate at exactly month end but a few days before month end. I assume this has to do with the moment BandwidthD does its graphing at the documentation state it will rotate the logs during the next graphing run. For some reason I get double entries in my log file which. The entries are exact copies of each other so filtering them out later is not difficult but it is annoying. So if anybody else is experiencing this, please let me know so I know it is not unique to my setup. And if someone knows how to fix the problem, please let me know as well.

    UPDATE:  You're right, the Nokia IP330 firewall turned out to be considerably less powerful than I thought. I recently ordered Shaw's 100 mbps service, and with just ONE decently seeded torrent the pfsense f/w CPU held steady at about 55%.  Even just surfing at the same time resulted in 100% CPU, saturation, and laaaag :( So, that's been retired, and an Athlon XP 64 3000+ with a gig of RAM moved in instead, and all is well.  I did the math, this should just slightly exceed requirements…so ought to be just about right. Anyway, thanks again jamesdean, for taking the time to help me out!  Happy Holidays :)
