    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.

    Hi guys for privacy reasons, I never show my ip address to the vpn provider that I use on my main laptop. "But they keep no logs" I don't know that. what I do instead: I install vpn provider #1 on a crappy laptop that has windows 10. this is a laptop with a crappy processor and perhaps a broken screen but it doesn't matter. in windows 10 network settings, I send the vpn traffic from provider #1 to the ethernet port of the crappy laptop. I connect the main laptop with crappy laptop using an ethernet cable. on my main laptop I use vpn provider #2 using wireguard software. what I am trying to figure is if I use the same crappy laptop but change my main laptop, and I sign up with a new account with vpn provider #2, and I use wireguard on the new laptop, can vpn provider #2 figure out that I am the same person? I guess what it boils down to is this: does wireguard share the mac address of the ethernet port of the crappy laptop with vpn provider #2?

    @trinli: okay, what happens if you set up squid as non-transparent and set proxy settings in the browsers to point at it?  Does everything work correctly?  I'm just wondering about a configuration error in squid itself so that it doesn't work, or if the problem is in the redirect of the traffic. And, just for curiosity, is the PF box set up as a bridge or something?  What is the gateway for the individual computers in the network? as in the first post Setup: Router doing DHCP -> PF sense machine -> rest of network so the PFsense box is doing bridging, and not much else. since IP's are assigned via the router, i assume it will be the default gateway as well. To be honest i dont even know what settings i'd need to use to set it up as a non transparent proxy, that was the appeal of setting it up transparently.

    WSUS is the fella you're after. Failing that, Heise's offline update is a champ, I use it extensively and it never misses a beat. If you're managing more than a handful of machines then you really need to consider WSUS and/or a controlled approach to updates anyway. Allowing random users to install the latest and greatest update at their own whim will introduce you to a whole new world of pain.

    Actually, I think I found the problem.  I had been choosing deny for test in the "overtime" column, and time was not defined.  This might have just been user error.  If I have more problems, I'll post.

    Did you mention NOT having installed the embedded version? Don't think so. On a full install it's just a package to install. This gives the option for another theme to choose from. There shouldn't be any performance reasons not to use it. And if you don't like it just select another theme again, there's not really a risk involved in trying ot yourself.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 98692142 bytes) in /usr/local/pkg/snort.inc on line 801 I have read many posts about a php.ini problem, but the error message point on a snort.inc file.

    @mentalhemroids: Have you installed squid before?  Is this your first time using pfSense?  If you have a box setup with pfSense and the Squid package is installed then the answer is yes, you will need to configure some settings.  I've noticed with new installs of Squid it is missing some settings such as "allow user…" should be set, and if you want transparent proxy, then you will need to set that.  Most of the other settings I just copied from one of my other boxes.  Enable logging, if you want, and use this directory /var/squid/log  also put in the proxy port of 3128, make sure the language is set correctly and you should be fine.  You may even want to put something in for host name and administrator email.  You will probably want to be using Firefox to browse since the IE's don't work for drop downs.  Other than that you should change your cache options to what you would like to have and you'll be in business. Good Luck. Thanks for your accurate response! ^^ I happened to set all those options. Was just wondering if thats all I needed to do you know ^^. - I'm curious to know if there are any parameters that can be set sub Gui level. (?) That is - ones I'd have to set using the console. - wish I could view the console via GUI :D lol. First time using PFs yes - but I've configured firewalls before :) - so I get around with it. These other settings that you say you copy from your other boxes (upon a new install I suppose), are they just the ones we view in the web Gui? (saved to a config file no doubt). OR, are they some other configurable variables that the Gui doesn't display? (Id like to set my cache size - you speak of cache settings - where do I find those!?) if you're aware. –-EDIT!-- my goodness. I JUST realized there was a whole drop down tab of options on that page :o :o. :p Checking it out

    Good point.  Since I am the one who set this thing up, I think I elected myself to be the admin for it.  I do want it to be as stable and fuss free as it can be. I'll change snort to watch the LAN side of the force and see how that works.  I'm still amazed at how well pfSense works! Next up will be getting SquidGuard working, but that's another topic of course. Thanks!
