    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.

    This situation happens because gui does not preserve hidden squid cron identification. In some situations will act like a bug but on other like a custom cron config.

    @exograpix asked for explaining the new option about rotate cron. squid3-dev 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.1 0  0  *  *  *  root  /bin/rm /var/squid/cache/swap.state; /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/sbin/squid -k rotate -f /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/squid/squid.conf */15  *  *  *  *  root  /usr/local/pkg/swapstate_check.php squid3-dev 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.2 version default 0  0  *  *  *  root  /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/sbin/squid -k rotate -f /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/squid/squid.conf */15  *  *  *  *  root  /usr/local/pkg/swapstate_check.php squid3-dev 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.2 version with reseting the cache –--> Proxy server: Cache management: Clear cache on log rotate 0  0  *  *  *  root  /usr/local/pkg/swapstate_check.php clean; /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/sbin/squid -k rotate -f /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/squid/squid.conf */15  *  *  *  *  root  /usr/local/pkg/swapstate_check.php So, if you activate the new option you will reset your cache every night. At 2.2.1 cache.log file wasn't rotate because squid.conf didn't have any debug_options rotate=N (squid3 syntax) line. And rm for swap.state is not necessary, as discussed in this thread.

    @madscientist159: Never mind.  It seems that if the disk usage is high enough (> 102% ?) Snort will sliently fail. :-[ I am using NanoBSD, so I was a bit surprised by this.  I take it the Snort rules are not kept in tmpfs? [/quote] The rules are written to /usr/local/etc/snort (if on a 2.0.x machine) and to /usr/pbi/snort-arch/etc/snort on a 2.1 machine.  If there is not enough free disk space, bad things can certainly happen.

    You rock!  That did it. I deleted the openvpn-client-export.inc file.  It still showed up in the package manager.  But I was able to delete it normally after that point. I was then able to install it and my "Client Export" tab showed up as expected. Perfect!  Thanks again. -Keith

    @BBcan17: Thanks Bill, Are there any other logs that I could look at to see where the issue could be? One of those routers is using the Open ET ruleset ("C") so its most likely not a recent rule, as the open ruleset is 30 days behind. Snort logs everything it logs to the system log, so if nothing is there to give a hint, you are out of luck.  Snort is not as "helpful" with logging as Suricata.  All of that is under control of the binary, so nothing can be done from the GUI package side. As for those rules, my understanding is the 30-day timer is actually per rule.  So some "rule X" in the set may hit 30-days old today and wind up in the ET Open collection while other rules may not.  At least that's how I believe it works on the Snort subscriber versus registered-user rules. Bill

    You can also try to forward any dns request to a specific dns server using nat rules.
