    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @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! 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.

    It can work on 2.0, though the setup isn't fully documented yet. There is a forum thread with more info, search for squid multi-wan and look for posts from Ermal.

    I'm having same issues with getting client ip address to show up on lightsquid. I'd tried the setting on the very bottom of this page http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/HAVP_Package_for_HTTP_Anti-Virus_Scanning still no dice… anyone figured this one out yet? My current scheme: {inet} - [Squid] - [havp] - {clients}

    Squid+Transparent proxy should be fixed with current snapshots. It had nothing to do with that setting, but a different bug. That may have made it work, but not for the right reasons.

    Ahh now I see the issue, I kept changing the "Max Queued" thinking it was related to memcap. There is no option for changing memcap in the gui, I guess it needs to be changed by hand in the config file. I am surprised no one else has ran into this issue as well?

    Most of the differences aren't really documented. In FreeBSD you don't need to end your scripts in *.sh, but in pfSense you do. It's just one of the many subtle differences.

    @DigitalJer: No indicator.  Just leave it alone for 10 - 20 minutes (I think that's about how long it took for my config, anyway). Default (tab), click the green arrow to Show Rules, and the categories will all appear when the list has finished loading.  Then just pick what category you want to deny. For the indicator, there are certain difficulties, but I hope to solve this task.

    Answer: No - only Windows systems can (and only then if it isn't patched or running decent AV). What you need to do is to read the alert - it will tell you what the source IP of the alert is.  If that IP address is the WAN IP of your pfSense host, and snort is running on the WAN interface, then it is possible the infection is on one of the 6 systems.  It is also entirely possible it is a false positive, but with so little to go on it is really hard to say.
