    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.

    CMB, Thanks for making the change back to HTTP. I surely appreciate it. I haven't tried it yet but I will be getting to this later today. Bryan, Thanks for being understanding. I certainly wasn't moaning and expecting someone else to do the heavy lifting for me. I was simply asking to be pointed in the right direction. I obviously have a very large upgrade project ahead of me. We knew this was coming but as usual, the project wasn't at the top of the list. I had already been looking at setting up our own repository to buy us some time but then the change happened to the package system and it was too late. It looks like I have been given a second chance. Thanks guys.

    @Moosecall: I followed the steps listed in the wiki, it breaks at step 3 running the second php test script.  I am only following the steps for 2.0 setup as the firewalls that will be using it are 2.1.  I did try having a firewall pull from it but as expected no joy. The server is a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 lts server, that is doing nothing else.  I installed apache, git and php. You sure the git clones were successful?

    They must be independent. It's more work but that is what is required. Each ACL must define the exact list of actions for each category.

    It does work on ALIX, not for caching but for access control only (with squidGuard). Memory is the biggest drawback on those

    In pfSense an interface without any rules is already blocking everything by default. pfBlocker is smart enough to understand this. If an interface (e.g. WAN) has no rules, then pfBlocker does not bother to add block rules. Maybe that is the difference between your WANs?

    I looked at squid.conf and it's using only error_default_language directive. I found only another squid directive for error pages: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/error_directory/ But it doesn't help to solve the problem that you told us. I think the only solution is to modify the files at /usr/local/etc/squid/errors/en/ (en, if you use English) and put a redirect code to an alternative URL. Example: This will show http://www.yourdomain.tld/access_denied.html to the user.

    Yes, you can do that. If you're a Gold Subscriber we did a video presentation on Squid, Squidguard, and Lightsquid last Friday and it was mentioned how to set that up. It should be up for download soon. SquidGuard can be set to "deny" by default, add in your own whitelist on top of that and it does what you're wanting. Though it'll be more work than you might initially suspect.

    @dvserg: But http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Squidguard-redirect-and-https-td4662707.html The problem is not Squid nor HTTPS. The problem is that the HTTP protocol has a standard that allows redirection and the HTTPS protocol does not. The HTTPS protocol was designed to be secure and does not allow any type of interference. The link refers to squid2, without SSL interception possibility. I'm using squid3-devel package with SSL interception (SSL Bump, man-in-the middle based). It's intercepting SSL without any troubles. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.pfsense.org%2Findex.php%3Ftopic%3D73007.msg402349%23msg402349 Google https pages with https links are also intercepted. But when I click the link the redirect page is not opened. However, opening the page in a new tab or window browser the redirect page appears. Curious! It's FireFox 27.0.1 fault? I just tried with Chromium 32.0.1700.107 and I've got the redirect page!

    The Emerging Threats Rules have P2P rules. Snort doesn't have anything in that Category.
