    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.

    @rosskan In theory, when you tunnel a 'VPN1' over another 'VPN2', VPN2 will see the originating IP as the one belonging to VPN1, not your real WAN IP. So far, ok. That said, when you subscribed to VPN1 and VPN2, you probably used your ISP IPv4 ^^ You installed the VPN1 (or2) application on your crappy laptop ?, if so, 'forget about it' ^^ 'as they know', the app is at an end point, and can see 'everything'. Don't forget that you pay for your VPN subscription, but you give them more then your money. They can see and use your data connection for 'data mining'. And they will make use of that data - by selling it. Why ? Because the share holders want a good financial result. If you need to connect two (your !) networks (or sites) together, use your own VPN solution. Don't use a commercial company. For example, take the ones you got with pfSense. If you really need to use that public network (aka : the Internet) to contact public servers, you are aware that the connection is already encrypted end-to-end ? That's what https is all about. 'http' doesn't really exist anymore / shouldn't be used. Also, you need to take other steps to be safe : you really should start with removing "windows 10" out of the equitation .... @rosskan said in What information can vpn provider see when I use wireguard?: does wireguard share the mac address of the ethernet port of the crappy laptop with vpn provider #2? MAC addresses travel on a local segment. Your laptop's MAC doesn't travel any further then the first hop, this is most probably your first router (gateway) like pfSense. Packet capture your traffic to check this. The Ethernet headers are not encrypted.

    Ok.. i have readed this: In pfSense, squid.conf gets rewritten at startup from squid.inc.  If you manually edit squid.conf your changes will be lost when you reboot the box.  If you edit squid.inc, your changes will be saved/reloaded each time you boot.

    stevenma188: "Hi jigpe, thanks for the reply. Does traffic shaper report overall bandwidth usage or would it be able to split up per MAC address? Thanks" Traffic shaper i guess have no real time records. Try install lightsquid you can see whos eating lots of files or who download big files. You can try bandwidth package too. jigp Davao City 1.2.2

    @mikesamo: same problem here ./check_ping /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "check_ping" I also have this problem, running the check_tcp plugin, same error message. I tried replacing them with the versions from the above link but it didn't work. Then I went nuts and tried installing all sorts of packages until I got to a point where things really started to get fucked up, and I ended up reinstalling from scratch and restoring my config. At least I learned a lot in the process. So here is some other info: # ldd /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_tcp /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_tcp:        libssl.so.5 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.5 (0x28082000)        libcrypto.so.5 => /lib/libcrypto.so.5 (0x280c3000)        libintl.so.8 => not found (0x0)        libiconv.so.3 => not found (0x0)        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x2821d000) It seems to be missing those two libraries. From what I gathered previously, they seem to have something to do with gettext/texinfo/libiconv(maybe) packages. I think previously I was able to successfully install the last one with pkg_add -r libiconv but trying to install the others gave errors related to not being able to find "install-info" which I verified doesn't exist anywhere on a system with a fresh 1.2.3-RC1 install. Interestingly enough, it does exist on a system I upgraded from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3-RC1. I tried to scp it but it didn't work (something about a newline). As I'm sure is obvious from my post, I have very little experience with FreeBSD, so please bear with me. If someone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Edit: **** SOLVED **** I don't know what happened this time exactly. On a whim, I followed the list of packages here (excluding the openvpn specific one), and after installing gcc and gmake the libraries are there. This has been some night..

    Yeah I also would like to know how to disable full logging. After the last upgrade I have the same issue here (not working with dashboard and look different in snort logs tab). Ok I still don't know how to do that via the gui but I modified snort.conf by replacing output alert_full: alert with output alert_fast: alert and then restarted snort. That did the trick.
