    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.

    Tip: https://calomel.org/proxy_auto_config.html isInNet(host, pattern, mask) isInNet(host, "192.168.249.79", "255.255.255.255")     is true if the IP address of host matches exactly 192.168.249.79. isInNet(host, "192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0")     is true if the IP address of the host matches 192.168.*.*. Well it might work, but like you said you have hosts without local records…

    OK, so the base program I found and then modified. It used lsof and ipnat but it could all be done with pfctl -ss output as far as I can see. Bear in mind this is crufty 14-year-old code that probably is horribly bad in many ways. https://gist.github.com/jim-p/78b7637ef5ce8c7b3219

    Moved this to Packages since it's specific to OSPF and not specific to 2.1.1 @heper: have made a quick attempt to get ospf working with a similar openvpn tls/ssl setup in VM - and failed :( after some digging with openvpn "topology subnet" i did manage to get ospf to get to a full-link state … but routing failed. perhaps jimp or ermal or any other core dev could shed some light on this. OSPF requires tun mode to use /30 tunnel networks, or tap mode for a shared instance with multiple clients. I've not seen it work in tun mode w/topology subnet.

    @dgcom: @bmeeks: I assume you are talking about rule updates with the updates download issue.  If so, that could be because the Snort VRT folks tie rule versions to specific Snort binary versions.  This is completely out of the control of the Snort package on pfSense. Yes, I am talking about rule download issue. But I wonder how this breaks during restore? It should be downloading rules for whatever version of Snort initiated said download, right? Regardless of what version the restored config was… It restored my oinkmastercode and tried to download something but then complained that checksum was wrong. If no one else is suffering this, it might be not important to spend your time on, really. Thank you for you work on this package, Bill. I will take a look at this by playing around in a virtual machine.  It will be a week or two before I have some time, though.  Trying to get the next Snort update out the door and also will be away on a family trip for a week.

    @marcelloc: That will be a great addition to the package. Is there any public ip reputation network that whe can use? I was told the Emerging Threats guys are working on one, but I'm not sure if it will be free or pay.  Maybe they will do something similar to what they do for the rules:  offer a comprehensive and daily updated list for paying customers, and a slightly dated and maybe not quite as comprehensive list for free. The Snort IP Reputation preprocessor is pretty simple, though.  All it needs is a text file with one IP address or CIDR network per line, so that should lend itself to use with many of the other types of lists out there.

    G'day all lovers of the finest firewall in the world  ;D Would anybody happen to know what this error means: Poll UPS [ups@192.168.4.37] failed - Write error: Operation not permitted The 4.37 is the Synology that acts as the UPS server. Yesterday I was literally flooded with this (a couple of 100 emails about this), and normally I also get these a couple of times a week. Google didn't help me any further. I am trying to understand who is trying to write what to where and who is messing around with that ( :P). In NUT the light is green, the synology also doesn't complain about anything UPS-related, so I am, at least temporary, once again completely lost. Thank you for any help  ;D

    I understand your point.  But on pfsense you can get help from core team (paid support) to fix packages in that situation or to fast develop new ones. Community help as much as free time permits  :)

    @Dadoo: Ahhh… I see. Whitelists are per-interface, not per-firewall. That explains why some of the addresses on the whitelist were blocked, while others were not.  The GUI doesn't make that obvious. Now that I've set a whitelist for both interfaces, that seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for your help. You're welcome.  I am starting a project to revise/update the Snort package documentation on the pfSense Documentation Wiki.  It will take me some time to get everything updated.  The stuff there now is way old and goes back many Snort versions well before I began offering some updates to the code.  Once the documentation update is complete, I will then make sure the various HELP links within the Snort GUI to point to the relevant Wiki page.

    @neokeane: Is it possible to install a specific version package via web gui? I can install it via console, but I want to see and configure it by web gui too. WebGUI configurator for packages - specific program for generate package config files. You can not simple take any package and manage him via WebGUI. You can install any accesible FreeBSD package from console and manage him via config file (by unix style) at one's own risk. Or you can install existing pfSense package via WebGUI and manage him via GUI.
