    @qupfer What did I bang my head over this strange 502 issue. Your solution did it! Thank you so much, even 2.5 years later!

    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.

    @tinfoilmatt said in Failed or invalid Mime Type: [application/SIMH-tape-data|0]: (ASN data is IPinfo, not Maxmind) Thats correct but "GeoLite2-Country" is from Maxmind ... (that confused me) I'm considering simply adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list to test. Thats what i tought too ... I'll try when I have the time for it ... Edit: I can confirm - adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list at line 257 in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc did the trick - no more error! Edit: OK, problem resolved but I would like to know, whats the cause for that error! (SIMH-tape-data sounds like a "blast from the past" ...) Thanks a lot!

    @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.

    @Gertjan Hello, I installed the official app of vpn #1 on the crappy laptop but on the main laptop I did not install official app of vpn #2, I used it via wireguard. I am not worried about vpn #1 provider and how much they know about me. They already have my ip address since I connect to them direct. My goal is to hide from vpn #2. I don't want them to know I am the same person who used this service before. and thanks for the heads up regarding windows. I had a feeling that would come up. I know windows is spyware but for my purposes it doesn't matter since I really just need to make sure vpn #2 doesn't know this user is the same user who signed up last year. (ok yes I know, how do you know vpn #1 or #2 are not owned by ms? I agree, you dont know)

    @simby: Hi! when will you release new v. Snort? :) It is currently under review by the Core Team developers.  They have been quite busy lately with the firewall code itself I understand, so some of the package reviews have suffered as a result and they are behind.  If you want a preview of what's coming, here is the GitHub link to the Pull Request:  https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pull/552.  This updates the Snort binary to 2.9.5.5 and adds a number of additional configuration features for the preprocessors including multi-engine targets.

    @digidax: So, after sniffing with tcpdump I can reproduce the problem now: There is a bug in the IMAP preprocessor during handling TLS communication: http://seclists.org/snort/2013/q3/453 Is there a bug tracker where I can see the status of this reported bug? I my case, User 1 has a bad DSL-Line. If during the TLS session snort gets a hiccup, the mail server gets a broken TLS login and so it's close the session. Until this bug is not fixed, there are two ways: disable the IMAP preprocessor OR switch of TLS for IMAP auth. best regards Frank I have a new Snort package based on the 2.9.5.5 binary that is being reviewed by the pfSense Core Team now.  Hopefully they approve and merge it soon.  I believe some TLS fixes are in the new binary.

    @thermo: ssh into your pfsense & into the shell. killall radiusd /usr/local/sbin/radiusd -X and watch the output. No need to kill the process just stop it on GUI. radiusd -X  will run freeradius in debug mode and tells you everything. In freeradius GUI you can enable the logging of good and bad authentications - passwords and usernames will be shown in pfsense syslog. Further make sure that the switches and WLAN AP have the same shared secret as in freeradius NAS/Clients. Make sure that your switches and APs send its correct NAS-IP to freeradizs and configured in Users. Freeradius - View config could help you to find out if your Users file looks correct and represets all your paramwters. The order in the users file is important. So if there is one user added twice the first match will win.

    of course it is possible, in squidguard using group acl feature you can create different user profiles by source or captiveportal usernames(squid3-dev required) with different filtering options

    Hi, you could try this: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ClearingTheCache Pruning the Cache Down and Changing the Cache Levels Perhaps downsizing the HDD cache could solve the problem. But you changed the path and if it works it will be ok :)

    I have a workaround which involves modifying havp.inc - I know it will get overwritten when I reinstall HAVP package. I wasn't able to get internal and NAT rules to work so I modified the rule / filter using supernetting so it will not redirect to HAVP if destination IP falls within the IP range. If anyone has gotten internal and NAT rules to work, please let me know.

    @Amirkabir: Hi I want to know how pfsense snort package block attacking hosts. Is there a plugin like snortsam in snort package? Snort on pfSense makes use of an old third-party open-source plugin called Spoink.  This is compiled into the Snort binary on pfSense as an output plugin.  It sees all of the alerts and examines the IP addresses and compares them to an internal whitelist table.  Any IP address not matching up with a whitelist entry is then "blocked".  This blocking is done by calling the BSD pf (packet filter) API to insert the offending IP address into a block table called snort2c.  Currently snortsam is not used.
