    @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.

    @jeremyc311 said in pfBlockerNG-devel 3.2.8 service pfb_dnsbl don't start: I’m surprised to see in my logs only one blocked IP, which is related to my TrueNAS I'll decode this one : @jeremyc311 said in pfBlockerNG-devel 3.2.8 service pfb_dnsbl don't start: Aug 5 09:01:14,1770008712,bxe1,LAN,block,4,17,UDP,192.168.2.13,116.147.64.181,51765,51413,out,Unk,pfB_PRI1_v4,116.146.0.0/15,ET_Block_v4,Unknown,truenasr740,null,+ Traffic, coming into LAN, from a LAN device (192.168.2.13 = your TrueNAS) going to a Chinise ( 116.147.64.181 ) Brazilian ( 177.72.195.114 - = next line ) was blocked by the "pfB_PRI1_v4" list. That's probably good thing ? ( ! ). Up to you to discover why your NAS should initiate connections to these countries. A NAS can go outside for maintenance purposes, for example to look for updates of it's system. These could be located anywhere of course. The GeoIP IP created a rule for you. How and where do you use that this rule ?

    @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.

    @EChondo What's your pfSense version ? The instructions are shown here : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png] A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate. @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy: I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess. No need to wait x days. You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    Since my upgrade to 25.07-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Jul 22 22:24:00 CEST 2025 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, on one end of my most important tunnel, the tunnel still works fine, but the pfSense GUI keeps reporting the service as stopped. I had to remove its monitoring from the Service Watchdog which was also trying to start it, without success. Yet the trafic flows correctly. I'm holding off upgrading my other boxes. Is there something I could do to help diagnose?

    If you'd used the search function on the forum you'd have found a number of others with similar package install problems, and advise on resolving them :) In short, check your DNS and connectivity.  If you have a firewall or proxy in the way then that may be the source of your problem.

    Krishna, if you are running a full install go to Packages and add it. If embedded is what you are using then it won't work since packages are not available on that platform.

    @Shackattack: My Setup: Maximum download size: 95000 Maximum upload size: 20000 Overall bandwidth throttling: 600 Per-host throttling: 400 All trottles are marked Throttle other extensions: avi,mov,mpeg,mpg,wmv,rm,wma,wmv,wav,mp3,mp4,swf,flv,pdf,doc,ppt,zip,rar,bz2,gz,bin,exe,msi,7z,nrg,iso,mdf Works perfekt and I think the Per-host throttling is used to limit bandwith. All Video Streams are limited to 400 KB/s in my network Thanks! I am trying now .. which version do you have ?

    hi! i have made some kind of workaround: 2 solutions: first one: if you have spare hardware left put in 2 nics, install a base debian system and have a look at this: http://www.openmaniak.com/inline.php when you are at the point installing base, take the precompiled debian package acidbase. you will have less troubles and dont forget to add the startup script. When finished you will have a fine IPS based on snort rules. second one: just like 1 but: install 4 nics, after completing installing snort inline, install vmware, install pfsense on vmware example nic definition: eth0 and eth1 used for bridge br0 under debian bridge vmnet0 to eth2 = LAN pfsense bridge vmnet2 to eth3 = WAN pfsense bridge vmnet3 to eth2 = OPT1 pfsense You now have a firewall, an IDS and an IPS on one machine regards CC

    @gshipp: …can I use Microsoft Word or Dreamer Weaver to edit the .XML? No, please don't! Even though it's an XML file you can edit it with most any pure text editors like notepad from Windows. I'd like to mention notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net) which is a free notepad alternative comparable to hoba's editor of choice. UltraEdit should work as well but I think it's not free…

    I live by the web interface and do not dig to deep into the config files! I have to have a "keep it simple stupid" policy! Because if I get hit by a truck there is NO ONE to keep the systems going! I am in Egypt and after 3 years here I now know that Aliens built the pyramids! Because there is now way in hell they got build by the Egyptian Minds and Egyptian Natives! So I did it the simple way and figured the naming convention for most of the primary virus protection companies and loaded it into a text file and maualy loaded it to all pfsense servers… Problem solved and all is quite! If wanted I can post the No Cache Virus Server Update List.... Let me know!

    ntop is not going to work on a 4501 even if you did run a full install on a microdrive. It requires way too much RAM to function on a system with only 64 MB. pfSense technically isn't even supported on less than 128 MB, though for some purposes 64 MB will suffice.
