    @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

    To get details about a new package, click on its version number in the list.  That will take you to the change log. On your Installed Packages screen, if any package has a red Version column, it's means there is an update to that package.

    @lautrecote: hello thank you for your post and details of configuration  :) What is correcting the problem is : have postfix forwarder listening to LAN instead of WAN write a NAT rule to redirect smtp traffic to LAN address of pfsense I think it's the same you recommend having postfix forwarder listening to loopback ? I don't understand why it works, why it suddenly didn't work anymore, and why this trick solves the problem. Can you explain that to me ? thank you again  :) It isn't the same as having the forwarder listening on loopback.  Did you mean to say "listen on WAN instead of LAN"? Are you relaying from an internal mail server to the outside world?  That might explain it but I don't know how you would get emails from outside if you're listening on LAN.

    Please read the following thread: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=61018.0 Goto Snort:Snort Interface WAN: WAN Settings: [ Choose the networks Snort should inspect and whitelist ] Make sure the Pass List is configured. Also in "Pass Lists", make sure you add a passlist for the WAN and check all of the Checkboxes (This is what needs to be referenced in the first part above.)

    I just finally solved this by using a USB cable. The serial cable had worked fine in with my other board and Ubuntu on this board, but for whatever reason, with pfSense on this board I can only get apcupsd to work with the USB cable.

    Thanks Bill, you would think that when you close the Whois page, the pfsense diag_dns.php page is still loaded in its own window. Why would it loose the session id for that? It shouldn't have anything to do with the other tab that was called by diag_dns.php? Also why does it only happen once on the Alert Interface section. If that was the case, you would expect the behavior to repeat for each lookup? Security is always a good thing!!  :)

    well.. i've just spent a while trying to understand what could be the issue on this one and am not finding any solution.  finally my logs seem to only show the following message: ntop[8154]: EPIPE while sending page to web client and that was it. so, since there is apparently no way to revert to a previous build, i guess i'll have to just run without ntop.. which stinks as I really liked the tool. :(

    It was NanoBSD. I finally just did a reinstall, configured the basics, and downloaded a package again to test. I downloaded Arping and the whole process was done in less than 8 seconds. Before it took almost a minute to download that package. I'm not sure what was going on but this was the 'fix'. Thanks for your time!

    i have only one lan network 172.16.0.0/16 with 800 computers. i have same issue. first i say sorry to pfsense and all pfsense lover's if i m worng, if we correctly configured squid3-dev and squidguard-squid3 wihtout any error. and all other sites are works fine like if deny blk_socialnetwork then when to go to https facebook or youtube its access dined only when i go for gmail.com its not working given msg which is all aware. also when i go to banking https sites its working good. so i think its some problem in pfsense and i proud to say pfsense is very easily solve this problem but i thought pfsense is playing with his lover's (pfsense firewall user's) so we can only wait for new updates.. in between any expert solve this issue pls let me know mohanrao83@gmail.com Thanks

    @Cino: @ESPNSTI: I've noticed with NTOP; when you reinstall/install, you have to select interfaces and enter the password again. Some reason the settings are not retained. Hey Thank you so much, appreciated!  :D I was struggling to understand why i could not connect to Ntop (5.0.1 v2.5) after a reinstalled,  it was until i tried your suggestion of setting the password again and adding back the interface for Ntop again everything seems to be working again….............

    @fearnothing: Well looking at it logically, the default in pfSense is to deny all you do not have logging for this default turned on when snort is not present when snort is on, this rule starts logging My guess is that snort enables logging for this rule as part of its base configuration. Nope, Snort does not touch the firewall rules at all.  All it does is put the interface in promiscuous mode.  I promise it does not touch any firewall rules or pfSense logging options. Bill

    @Fmstrat: I have all of them enabled except sensitive data. My hardware setup is an internal NIC for LAN, and a USB NIC for WAN. I tried switching snort over to the LAN and it seems to function fine there, so I'm wondering if the issue is somehow related to the network card itself. Is that even physically possible given snort's architecture? As I look at the snort blocks', I'm actually curious as to if running on the LAN is better. When I run on WAN, I can't see which internal IP is engaged in the connection that causes the alert, making it very hard to trace sources. However, when it's on the LAN, all the alerts display the internal IP and the blocks show the external IP, which makes it much easier to debug. Is there any downside to running on the LAN end of things? Seems the benefit would be scanning internal traffic for infected machine, but the downside would be missing external attackers that are scanning ports that are already blocked by the firewall (which shouldn't matter, really.) Thoughts? Ben P.S. Unfortunately, I probably won't get back to the script we discussed until next week. I don't think you will get good success with USB NICs on pfSense. The LAN will show a little more detail. If you want more, you need a full IDS like "Security Onion" installed after pfSense or before it. Bill does recommend that a smaller list be put on the WAN like Port scans, Cins, Compromised, Drops, etc… and than as many rules on the LAN that it can handle (without the rules you don't require for your network) If you use pfBlocker (or my script  ;) ), you could also avoid the Cins, Drops, Compromised on the WAN as Snort sees a copy of the packets first before pfBlocker and they will both Log the same packets. Make sure you check out my Github Gist for recent changes to the script. Thanks.
