    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.

    FreeSWITCH was not left out, it was disabled. The FreeSWITCH package, as it currently exists, requires constant write access to the storage media. That will not work on embedded because it runs with the media in read-only mode. If you want to use FreeSWITCH, you can run a full installation on your embedded device. This will cause your CF to wear out faster than normal, but with the ever-increasing longevity of CF media these days, it may not be an issue for you.

    Can you please also shed some light on how package installation is done manually (what functions/scripts have to be called, where the package has to be placed, etc)? I can't seem to find this info in the docs and forums. Should I just install a package and look at the terminal output - will that be enough?

    @VeGeTa-X: I have been trying to research on the net and figure out why I am getting (127.0.0.1) Invalid request from browser in my system logs everytime I visit a site.  I have attached print screens of the system log and print screen of squid custom settings. If anyone has any advice let me know. Thx Absolutely nothing, unless you know something is broken. They are just debug messages telling if server did not send header as it should have etc.. decrease LOGLEVEL if you don't want to see them. http://havp.hege.li/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4

    I have Snort subscriber enabled and have the key inserted but disabling it doesn't allow it to start and still nothing shows up in the system logs. I have disabled all options and saved, still no starting of the service. I have reinstalled everything and still no starting of the service. I'm quite literally stumped, I've even tried reinstalling. The only message I get when trying to update is ….... Please wait... You may only check for New Rules every 15 minutes...

    I still can't figure this out. To reiterate: Proxifier is a simple Windows program that routes all outgoing traffic back through any destination of your choice, to proxy things that don't natively support a proxy. I'm looking to do the same thing with ALL outbound traffic through my pfSense box. behind which are a number of platforms, both Windows-based and non. The proxy is running on the pfSense box itself. How do I route all the traffic through this proxy? To the pfSense box itself, the proxy is located on localhost 8080. It was initiated through an "ssh -D 8080 … " command. As an additional question-mark which might be the source of my issues, I believe the ssh command initiated on the outbound network card, when the proxy should be accessible on the interior.

    Honestly I hadn't tried that method because my phone have transfer. But I took and experimented a bit for you and found the solution. The feature you are referring to is in the features.xml file with an extension name of 'dx' in the main dialplan under Local_Extension is a meta application that calls uses the 'dx' extension name. When you are in a call dial *1 you will then hear a new dial tone dial the number followed by #. Your phone may need to allow * plus the single digit in its dialplan. On the linksys phones this is represented with a *x. Here is my dialplan from a linksys spa962. Extension -> Dial Plan: (*xxxxxxx|*xxxxxx|*xxxxx|*xxxx|*xxx|xx|*x|[3469]11|0|00|[2-9]xxxxxx|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|xxxxxxxxxxxx.)

    @mhab12 They can access facebook if they use HTTPS.. Blocking facebook is useless if you have 443 opened. You cannot remove 443 too because people need to access gmail and other email that uses 443.

    @jimp: With squid stopped, your traffic is still redirected, but with no process listening on the proxy port, it hits a dead end (thus doesn't work) What happens with squid enabled, and the IP of a workstation put into the box which bypasses the proxy on the main squid page? Ah, good question! I get a straight browser 'unable to connect' without the '(1) Operation not permitted.' But after sitting for 10 minutes, it works!  And, weirdest of all, not just for that one machine, but the whole LAN now. No, I don't have any idea either.  Very strange.

    It's not recommended to run extra services on your firewall, especially not an IRC bot. It's a gaping security hole waiting to be exploited. If you really want to continue down that unsupported road, there are some articles on the doc wiki about installing FreeBSD packages from the shell.
