    @KOM said in Squid: "Undefined symbol "_ZTVNSt3__117bad_function_callE" after upgrade to 2.8: I'm also not comfortable with the 'move lib somewhere else' fix as I don't know what side-effects it may have and I don't know how a future upgrade will handle it. I have two pfSense with longer upgrade history running, came across the same problem when upgrading to 2.8 and my thoughts were exactly the same. But then I was diving deeper and... The upgraded one, after the upgrade: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 9415736 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 819952 Jan 31 2022 /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 952 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a The one still on 2.7.2 / FreeBSD 14: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8603484 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 819952 Jan 31 2022 /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 87114 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a And last, but not least a stock FreeBSD 14.0 REL-p4: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8579844 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 86778 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a As i see it, this libc++.so.1 as of 2022 must have been left back by an earlier update. Especially when looking at such a commonly used lib, I would speculate that the rm command used to remove it during this earlier update was using it itself and thus, was unable to remove it. Knowing this, I followed the recommendation to just remove it (or move it away to /root), rebooted and everything works fine. There is no need to un/reinstall squid. Just move away /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 and reboot. When updating from 2.7.2 or another FreeBSD 14 based release, it may also be an option to do this before starting the update to keep the downtime as short as possible. And, coming back to the concern quoted initially: I beleive that it is very unlikely that anybody will miss this old lib. Maybe somebody who upgraded an instance with less upgrade history can have a look in his /usr/lib and confirm that there is no libc++.so.1 at all.

    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.

    @Arowe95 How have you set up pfBlockerNG? For me if I do a basic setup using the Wizard the Steve Black Hosts list is already included. That would explain the duplicates :). Check Firewall / pfBlockerNG / DNSBL / DNSBL Groups, ADs_Basic. Click edit for that group and it contains one list, Steve Black Hosts.

    @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.

    @yobyot I've SSHed into pfsense and for the sake of testing I've simply run the command: tailscale up --auth-key=tskey-client-kQ_THE_REST_IS_A_SECRET\?preauthorized=true\&ephemeral=false --accept-dns=false --accept-routes --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=X.X.X.X/24 --advertise-tags=tag:pfsense Note the preauthorized=true and ephemeral=false I gave this key all permissions (temporarly as I just wanted to verify it's working) of course I had to register the tag used also in the ACL tags pane: https://login.tailscale.com/admin/acls/visual/tags so far so good

    @mich32: The same problem… Thanks for that info! I was actually considering offloading the RADIUS function to a Zentyal box myself (something I'm experimenting with myself atm), & having the pfSense doing auth against if for stuff like oVPN, so thanks for the heads-up. (using DD-WRT AP's atm & maybe a few Ubiquiti's later on) The idea, from my else at least, is to allow them to keep using their W7P clients environemt (& iOS wireless), with a fully POSIX infrastructure back-end, but served in a presentable manner (i.e. just the right eye-candy). I'd be interrested re any progress or insights to be shared here.

    @BBcan177: Take a look at the port scan Pre-processor. There are settings there to not alert on certain scanners and also has some other tuning settings. BBcan177 is correct.  There are a number of tunable parameters for the portscan preprocessor.  It's on the PREPROCESSORS tab for the interface.  One thing you can do is a create an Alias containing hosts that should never trigger a portscan alert.  That is the "Ignore Scanners" box.  Create the alias with those hosts under Firewall…Aliases, then come to the PREPROCESSORS tab and enter the alias name in the "Ignore Scanners" box.

    Hello Simby, Snort will use as much memory as it needs. If you goto the Snort Interfaces and edit the WAN interface, in "WAN Settings" you will see an option "Detection Performance Setting" For this, follow jflsakfja's recommendation and set it to "AC-BNFA-NQ" Then depending on what Rules you enable and how you set the Pre-Processors, Snort will use the memory that it needs. If you are looking for some other information, maybe try to re-phrase the question?

    From what I understand, HTTPS filtering is tricky because the proxy only sees the IP addresses at the two ends of the tunnel and not the actual URL.  For SquidGuard to see the content of the traffic, it would have to have a trusted cert installed on the user's PC, and this would make pfSense the "man" in what's essentially a Man-in-the-Middle attack.  Modern browsers can detect this to a degree and may warn the user. You can block all of HTTPS through the firewall of course, but if you need to selectively block some HTTPS sites and not others, you will have to use IP addresses. I've seen some stuff on the latest releases of Squid/SquidGuard that supposedly support filtering HTTPS, but I haven't tried it or really paid it much attention as I use Squid2.

    Just FYI… pfSense seems to be a continuous work in progress, but it is still one of the best FREE alternatives out there. There are many issues on getting packages configured properly, and information is spread all over (although this forum is a great place to get started). Anyway, I found out that in many cases (more often then not), simply re-installing a package is NOT enough. Also, restore using the "Factory Defalts" from the Diagnostics menu, does NOT clear everything. That is a VERY MISLEADING name. The only thing it resets is some superficial settings of the XML config file and web user interface. Many stale configurations and files remain around, and specially those that where manually changed/created via shell. So, my 2 cents are: once anything gets miss-configured (unstable), simply backup you configuration, do a brand new fresh install ("formatting" the drive), EDIT your config-pfSense.XXXX.xml file, and manually remove everything related to the bad/hung package, and then restore you config back. YES, stale settings will also remain the XML config file, even if after you remove packages our related items using the web interface!!!

    OK, from what I understand, Squid handling HTTPS traffic will only see the IP address and not the actual requested domain.  Other people's solution for blocking Facebook on HTTPS is getting their CIDR block, create an URL table alias and then using firewall rules to block access to the alias: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=69860.0 Check out the reply by Phil Davis. I think I may have read that Squid3 can handle HTTPS traffic, but it involves installing a certificate and essentially acting as the man in the middle, which might alert the web browser of an attack.  I haven't played with Squid3 so I can't say for sure.

    Hi Gurus Let me explain my scenario (Network Diagram) Router (ISP)  <===>  Firewall PFsense <===> My Lan Segment In the PFsense I installed the the squid (Version 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.4). The problem that I am finding is that This Proxy (Squid) only block web that use ports 80 (Like www.youtube.com) but not ports 443 (like www.facebook.com). The problem to filter all port 443 I am solved by apply a rule Like this: ![](http://Filter 443 by IP's) Well, let me know if exit an alternative to filter in base to group. For example Group 1 (permit traffic 80 and 443 to the following pages - Like banks, facebook, emails, www.youtube, etc the rest are blocks) Group 2 (permit traffic 80 and 443 to the pages of banks) Group 3 (some policy That I would considered) Also I would create some different another different Profile of user 1 ( User VIPs, acccess to all pages) Profile of user 2 (User which belong to Group 1) Profile of user 3 (User which belong to Group 2) …............. Profile of user n (User which belong to Group n) My version of firewall is: ![](http://Firewall Version) Also, exit any type the report where I can review (an extrat this data) and elaborate a Report to inform the top of Traffic that the user consume. I appreciate your comment /suggestion
