    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.

    Ran into this issue today as well running on 25.07.1 with pfblockerNG-devel 3.2.7. Followed the steps outlined in this thread to edit the pfblockerng.sh file, then deleted/force reloaded all the lists, and all was well again. Thank you everyone in this thread for your your help and great instructions.

    @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.

    Hi all, I wanted to share that I’m also experiencing issues with Tailscale (v1.86.4) on the latest pfSense CE (v2.8.0). After either a pfSense reboot or a Tailscale service restart, my node is logged out of Tailscale — exactly as many of you have described here. It bothered me enough that I opened a support ticket with the Tailscale team. I explained the problem, included details, and linked this thread as a reference. The good news is that support responded quickly and said they’re setting up a pfSense VM to reproduce the issue. In the meantime, they suggested a workaround: “Based on the behavior described here and in the thread, it looks like the auth key used for authentication may be expiring. Since OAuth clients don’t expire, switching to an OAuth Client rather than an Auth Key might resolve this. See our docs here: https://tailscale.com/kb/1215/oauth-clients#registering-new-nodes-using-oauth-credentials I tested this, and after configuring Tailscale with OAuth, everything worked! Tailscale now stays connected and authenticated even after a reboot or service restart. That said, I did tell support that while OAuth solves the issue, it used to work out of the box with the simpler interactive login / auth key flow. Something seems to have changed on the Tailscale side, and I hope they identify and fix it. But until then, the OAuth workaround is a solid fix. I’d love to hear how it’s working for the rest of you. Anyone else try OAuth yet? Cheers

    I figured out the issue. I missed adding the 3rd locations Lan to the static routing. Now all is working perfect.

    You sure do not need to join the domain to auth a user to AD..  I agree with ivor here, putting samba on your firewall is not a very good idea! DNS1 is the first domain controller DNS2 is the second domain controller dns1 and 2 where?  Why would pfsense use those - out of the box pfsense would point to itself and use resolver (unbound)  So putting dns anywhere in pfsense is pretty pointless.

    @Mike: on the master, whenever I change anything in my domain records, the serial on the master doesn't change and stays at the same value. This was how package used to do but some time ago this field is manually updated. You can add a value based on YYYMMDDNN or just delete it and save config.

    @Crispix: Resurrecting this thread, had the same question. I ended up working around the issue by creating a floating rule and checking the "quick" option so it takes precedence over my regular WAN rules. This way my OpenVPN allow rule takes precedence over pfBlockerNG block rules, so I don't have to worry about my VPN accidentally getting blocked by any of my third-party lists. No need for a workaround; a solution exists (see doktornotor's post above). To give more detail, on List Action, I have all mine set to "Alias Deny."

    @trinitech: If will buying a genuiun certificate will allow me to have transprent proxy with SSL Man In the Middle Filtering? Will this stop all the client to get certificate error? SSL MITM requires a Root CA certificate, which no reputable and trusted certificate issuer will provide. The reason is because a trusted Root CA is able to create certificates for ANY domain in existence and present them as valid. This is why you need to create your own Root CA, then install your Root CA certificate on all devices that will be going through the SSL MITM proxy. A regular SSL host certificate - whether from LetsEncrypt or any paid certificate issuer - will not allow you to do SSL MITM.

    @nipstech: Now, when there's a power failure what can I expect to happen? When the UPS reaches a low battery state, the UPS will signal NUT and NUT will initiate a shutdown. Given the time required to shutdown a Synology, you may wish to adjust the percentage or time used to determine that the battery is low. You can do this by configuring the UPS itself, or configuring NUT (recommended). See the doc for ups.conf for details on configuring NUT. I use the following for the system supporting my Synology:         ignorelb         override.battery.charge.low = 20         override.battery.runtime.low = 300 Hope this helps.
