    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.

    Maybe PacketFence http://www.packetfence.org/en/home.html would work for you. If your switches support port security that can be a big help too.

    I saw this in a recent thread at the haproxy website.  I thinking you are missing "option httpclose" or some other option in the webserver section.  Look here: http://www.formilux.org/archives/haproxy/subject.html for the haproxy threads.

    If you can pkg_add it and get it to work as a parent cache with squid, it may be fine. I'm not familiar with that product though, not sure what issues you might have. It's in the FreeBSD ports tree, so your chances are probably fairly good, but as usual when you get into such territory, nobody can help you very much when things go awry :)

    When removing the guest, the guest kept working when logging on… Tried to restart squid + squidguard, but both wouldn't start no more. Had to restart pfSense... Then guest didn't work anymore, but my newly created user (without access to facebook, via the ACL)... just could access facebook without an issue... So the problem is still there... I am using shalla's lists, might they be too large (the system is quite performant : it's a new HP proliant server (approx 6 months old now) with a Xeon 5440 cpu inside, and 2 disks in mirror configured)).

    @jamesdean: @sadoki: Hi to all, I'm using pfsense and snort to bloc skype on our company network, this is working great : every host that attempts to use skype is blocked. But actually, we need to do not bloc all traffic from this host, we want to keep the ability to use internet and just bloc skype traffic. Is it possible with snort? Thanx You need to write a snort rule that blocks known content of skype or addjust the rule for you company network. James As far as I noticed it's not possible to create your own rules or am i missing something? I reinstalled everything and noticed that some IP addresses get blocked once skype starts up, so I am assuming that the detection works. However skype gets connected either way.

    @cylent: two quick questions; when snort blocks someone what file does it write the ip in? i looked in /usr/local/etc/snort but couldnt find where it lists the host ip… also, on the block page it says: "This page lists hosts that have been blocked by Snort. Hosts are automatically deleted every hour."   however on the front settings page theres an option that says: "Remove blocked hosts every" ... which one is true then? if i set the option for 12 hours will it remain blocked for 12 hours? what about the text on the blocked page above? Snort does not write blocked ips to file. Snort adds blocked ips to pf table. James

    Use the threshold.conf to suppress the alerts you get. Search the forums on how to do that. James

    @chudy: yeah. default squid configuration can only cache 10%-20% playing around with refresh pattern you could get around 30%-40% but with storeurl feature 40%-70% (it only matters on how greedy you want to save bandwidth) stats based on daily basis of internet cafe. Well, since I'm already using the videocache plugin (and thats working wonderfully), I'm thinking storeurl would not do anything for me. I do have the max download size set at about 50MB. I'm thinking I need to do some research on refresh_pattern. I'm kind of wondering… isn't that something that you have to change in the squid.conf file? And if you do, isn't that going to be overridden by the gui's configs when squid restarts?
