    @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.

    A package itself has to provide an enable/disable setting, otherwise you'd have to uninstall. As for PPTP+NAT, try 2.0. Those issues should all be resolved there.

    Thank you…. If your willing to test a bit more. there is code in snort.inc commented out called "Red Devil". Try to invoke those options and play with the settings to see if you can get improvements. James

    Dont worry about the flow bits. These errors on the other hand needs to be looked at. I need to update snort or the alert map file for the missing this sigs. "Encoded Rule Plugin SID: 17132, GID: 3 not registered properly. Disabling this rule." I am rebuilding snort from the ground up, that's taking all my time, Simply. Im working as fast as I can. James

    @dvserg: And why this is necessary when scanning the flow of traffic? This will reduce the download speed. A good compromise size of 50-500kb. i noticed  many of files downloaded  are above 10MB  i already tackled file of 40MB attached with virus from user download, lucky we have local AV on workstation also but anyway if it could be stooped at firewall that woud be better. HAVP allows you to scan FTP Over HTTP. Is it enabled automatically? Last question i saw that HAVP already in 0.92a version while package version is 0.91 can i upgrade it to that version or there process of update package into 0.92a? Only manually through pkg_delete/pkg_add. So no plan to update HAVP package soon Thanks

    2 jemedia You can test ACL work in transparent mode I'm not sure what this situation correct writen in docs(http://diskatel.narod.ru/sgquick.htm), because don't has full testing. What you can do for test ACL in transparent mode: Set Default_All to deny on Default page Add ACL with you subnet and set Default_All ad allow APPLY and Browse from you workstation.

    Yes, use squid and ACLs to solve this.  Technically, you could also use squidGuard, although its not necessary.

    Barry, Thanks for posting that. For the confused, what he's shown is how to configure the use of a Windows Group Policy to configure computers in the domain to configure proxy settings for HTTPS traffic.  It is possible/recommended to do this for HTTP traffic as well, although the use of the transparent redirection of outbound HTTP traffic makes this unnecessary.  The caveats of this configuration are that computers which do not connect to the domain do not get these proxy settings and so are able egress the network without filtering as long as they use SSL.  A good way to enforce the use of the proxy settings is to block outbound SSL to the internet which does not originate from the proxy box itself. Again, great post Barry!  Might need to sticky it.

    @wagonza sweet! changing the gateway to .252 I started getting internet access! Awesome. @mhab12 I did change the webgui to https. I started playing with the captive portal and started having issues. We realized that it appears the the captive portal and webgui must be using the same port (either 80 or 443) otherwise it wouldn't work. Since this is our test environment, we just left it on http. We still need to tweak the FW rules but overall i think we are all set. Thank you both for the suggestions on how to get this setup and working. I can't wait to try out the other PFSense functionality. Sijis
