    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.

    @biatche: I plan to have a pfsense rig with 2 hard disks, 1 for pfsense, another for squid cache (raptor) first of all, does anybody find this necessary? or should I put pfsense on the raptor and cache along with it. is it at all possible (guidance if possible) to setup pfsense in this manner? Its supposed to increase speeds a good bit… especially if you have a really big and really fast newer hard drive. They say that having squid on the same Hard Drive that the OS is on makes it slower. Although, this also depends on how many users you will have on your system. If you have 100, then by all means get two 500GB Hard drives. If you only have 5 (like us), I think a faster sata hard drive would work, just you would not need a ton of space. I've got a 160GB Hard drive I want to use, but I've not been able to get the bios to detect it, or pfsense to mount it, so I don't know if it will work.

    AFAIK this is not possible. Maybe someone has an idea how you could do something like this without pfSense.

    It is probably preferable to use: squid -k shutdown then squid This will ensure that squid shuts down cleanly.

    @chpalmer: Try consoling in and select Reset Webconfigurator". Do you mean selection (11) "Restart webConfigurator"?  If so, I also tried that. Same problem. I'm really confused… Attached is a graphic from my log. Can anyone decipher what "No free leases" means? And why does it repeat this error so much? [image: webGUI.jpg]

    I am still waiting to hear from dnsomatic on the issue of selective updates as well as afraid.org. Your package works. Thanks for taking the time to not only write the "package" for dnsomatic support but for putting on the forum for all to use. I will wait for their response to update only selected records v. all and wil post their reply Thanks for your help.

    OKay, I've done a lot of Googling and reading today (in between meetings).  I finally found this - http://tfm.cz/man/8/softflowd  which has been a huge help.  For some silly reason I also did not think of just entering the package name (softflowd) and hitting enter - which, of course, brings up the correct syntax dialog.  ::) I am now exporting flow data as I should be…. I think.  My Solarwinds collector doesn't seem to be recognizing or doing anything with the packets it is getting.  But that is for another forum... Thanks again for the help. Aaron
