    @qupfer What did I bang my head over this strange 502 issue. Your solution did it! Thank you so much, even 2.5 years later!

    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.

    @tinfoilmatt said in Failed or invalid Mime Type: [application/SIMH-tape-data|0]: (ASN data is IPinfo, not Maxmind) Thats correct but "GeoLite2-Country" is from Maxmind ... (that confused me) I'm considering simply adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list to test. Thats what i tought too ... I'll try when I have the time for it ... Edit: I can confirm - adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list at line 257 in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc did the trick - no more error! Edit: OK, problem resolved but I would like to know, whats the cause for that error! (SIMH-tape-data sounds like a "blast from the past" ...) Thanks a lot!

    @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.

    @Gertjan Hello, I installed the official app of vpn #1 on the crappy laptop but on the main laptop I did not install official app of vpn #2, I used it via wireguard. I am not worried about vpn #1 provider and how much they know about me. They already have my ip address since I connect to them direct. My goal is to hide from vpn #2. I don't want them to know I am the same person who used this service before. and thanks for the heads up regarding windows. I had a feeling that would come up. I know windows is spyware but for my purposes it doesn't matter since I really just need to make sure vpn #2 doesn't know this user is the same user who signed up last year. (ok yes I know, how do you know vpn #1 or #2 are not owned by ms? I agree, you dont know)

    Probably not, because in a firewall there's little point in being able to listen to music ;)

    I'm at work so cant talk much. Yes, after every reboot snort.conf get remade. You will have to add your changes to snort.inc to make your changes permanent. Good news, if your seeing that attack you do not need to recompile prepocessor. James

    Thanks, James, for working on this. Now another question: If we enable Barnyard2, do we have to manually download Barnyard2 or is there a package already available for pfSense? I went to http://www.securixlive.com/barnyard2/docs/manual.php to read up on how Barnyard2 works but I'm going to have to experiment with it and don't know where to start.

    That is what I did, I cleared out the squid logs, added the fine tuning statements, reinstalled squid 2.6 package and lightsquid.  I verified the processes, cpu load, adjusted the squid settings, rebooted the firewall and now I am monitoring (top & tail -f /var/squid/log/access.log)  looks like all is well.  I am constanting learning, reading up on the squid's website about the different log statements and so forth.  So far all looks good.  I realized that after I make any changes to squid using pfsense gui, I get another pinger process.  I now know to "kill" those additional processes using "kill process#" within top.  Thanks again to everyone.

    @SupportIT: Hey, i already tried the searching for this issue but have not found any answers. Squid Proxy Version: 2.6.21_08 Auth Method : LDAP LDAP Ver : 3 Auth Server: xxx.xxx.xx.xx Auth Server Port: Blank LDAP Server user DN: CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=local LDAP password: admin password LDAP base Domain: DC=mydomain, DC=local LDAP search Filter: sAMAccountName=%s I would like to let the Squid Authenticate with my LDAP (Win2003) it prompts to enter a User and a Password but gets no further. Any reason why this setup would not work? Any one any ideas? Good morning, I set the authentication of the way you are explaining, but does not work. The login screen appears but is repeated three times and gives error of access to the cache. Until posted in Portuguese: I set the authentication of the way you are explaining, but does not work.

    I think the heuristics  feature in Dan's guardian has helped, it has blocked sites that may not have normally been blocked using key words etc.  I thought I saw something stating that you could use keywords with pfsense and squid guard that would block sites based on those keywords. I think that only blocks them if they are in the URL and not if they are within the site itself. Is this correct? I don't know how much I would miss the heuristics since I have never used squidguard.
