    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.

    Thanks for the reply Jimp. Sorry it's taken me so long to notice, I thought I'd turned on notifications for the thread, but clearly hadn't. Whilst I appreciate what you're saying regarding the number of options, I'm not sure I agree that it's a waste of time. Having a component like this not part of the config sync increases the opportunity for inconsistencies to appear between the two firewalls when a change is made on one, and forgotten about on the other. The bindings are my concern. Whilst your standard pfSense deployment probably only has a handful of interfaces, I currently have around 60 customer interfaces, and counting. I could easily see myself add a binding on one appliance and not notice it's not bound on the other. Anyway, I appreciate you no doubt have many better things to do than worry about a package for what is ultimately a defunct protocol. Ultimately, config sync, or no config sync, I appreciate you putting the time into making this package available in the first place. Thanks.

    But.. you did measure high ESR on the caps. So they were bad. Even if the unit seemed to be functioning fine, you saw bad caps. Doesn't that simply mean that regardless of NUT being right or wrong the hardware on that UPS is bad? Also, a unit that seems fine, even with bad caps cannot be trusted either :p It's also possible that there is more hardware damage than just those caps. An inverter with bad caps is a recipe for disaster.

    Hi Gertjan, the problem was permanent, a simple reboot didn't work. The problem was (because I've already solved it with a system+package reinstallation, that eventually went fine) due to a pkg-related sqlite database error that - despite applying the raccomandations given in other threads (i.e. forced update/upgrade of the system) - didn't solve the issue (and most of all, they were lenghty to execute). As the issue was created immediately after installation with no warning, I consider this solution a defeat. As a matter of fact, we still don't know the cause but the reinstallation was surely the fastest way to solve: I already know the beast. At the current state of the art and from my viewpoint, there has been a considerable loss of performance (mostly on pfsense boxes installed on nanobsd-powered embedded devices) and stability (as it is witnessed by the large number of threads in the forum about this topic) after the introduction of the pkg-based system upgrade/package management method.

    Hey, Thank you guys! The first 2 posts fixed my problem now the Radius works perfect! Is there actually any point  against the Radius Server working as a paket on the pfsense? I mean a security thing, or possible problems with the Firewall etc…. thank you The 3 blocking rules are just here to divide my Subnet from the others, normally there should be no match...it's just the point that there is no possibility to access the others

    What is ultrasurf ? edit : Ok, found it. I guess there exists a country filled up with people (half a million or so) who know how to use it to circumvent local 'policies'  - and the other half who knows how to block it. You surely will find some useful knowledge there. Start by blocking outgoing ports 80,443,21,22,53,110,465,587,993,995 and see what happens ;) Btw : think about protecting the gates of your company and have employees checked if they carry any smart phones. Enforce the PC's so users can't install unknown programs.

    Yeah it happens because redis fucks itself up - which happens at least once every months for me. I stopped using the package. Beyond it being a disk space hog, it's rather useless when you find yourself wiping all the history periodically because the thing has crashed. After experiencing Redis and MongoDB in a bunch of applications, I really don't have much good to say about these "fancy" way overhyped NoSQL products. They are unstable immature shit.
