    @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.

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?

    Well - here is a fix to the issue with Microsoft IE vs other browsers…. In the /usr/local/www/snort_rules.php file there is a javascript function called 'go'. brackets to denote an array index but instead uses the () parans… and then only if there are more than one object of the same type (lousy implementation if you ask me!)... Anyway - the "fix" to allow the different browsers, including Microsoft's IE, to display the Category information properly is to detect if the browser is msie or a different one - then setup the go function assignements accordingly: function go() {     var agt=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); if (agt.indexOf("msie") != -1) {         box = document.forms.selectbox;}     else         {box = document.forms[1].selectbox;} destination = box.options[box.selectedIndex].value;     if (destination) location.href = destination; } I have tested the above code using both Firefox and MSIE-7 and it works properly - if anyone else wants to test please feel free - hopefully this will end up in the snort package as a fix.. gm…

    Once again this has come up :) What have I tried meantime is that I installed Frickin 2.0 beta2 onto my FreeBSD-6.2. I also enabled scrub only for udp and tcp, but well.. still stuck on "Verifying username and password..". Looks like I forgot to MFC a few items.  Please try a snapshot about 2 hours from now. I didn't quite get what snapshot should one try - Frickin or pfSense or …? And I'm quite confused about PF and PPTP issue. Some people seem to claim that it's possible to use PPTP through PF, but all the guidlines end up somewhere.. Is there any hope to get it working with PF or should I just go back to IPFW (which to my mind had no such problems)?

    I see the same exact thing on a reboot.  Snort apparently takes some coaxing to run properly and yes I've seen that line 40 error as well as of late. This is not specific to just your system Slam, so no more clean installs, ok?  ;)

    @Seth: including traffic on unique ports and SSL.  Is this possible? Transparently intercepting SSL is not possible, that's part the design of SSL.  As for non-standard ports, just block them: this is standard enterprise filtering technique and all service operators are aware of this, and hence the invention of HTTP tunnelling. Sneakily I want to add my own question, as of 1.2-RC2 is it possible to install transparent Squid to HAVP+ClamAV proxy from packages without manual configuration file hacking?  Would this even remotely run on a WRAP device with 128MB system memory and 4GB CF microdrive?  I'm checking for convenient embedded alternatives.

    @lorenzr: I am having the same problem both on 1.2RC2 and the last stable version before it.  After some tinkering I got a similar error.  "upsmon[xxxx]: user uucp not found" I looked at the passwd file and uucp isn't there.  Perhaps another package installs this or it apprear when a serial port is present? I tried to replace uucp with root but I must have missed a spot or it set on a file generated on install. Ray Looks like an easy fix. The uucp user existed on earlier builds. Heres the line in the /etc/passwd on my box. uucp:*:66:66:UUCP pseudo-user:/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/local/libexec/uucp/uucico

    1.  Fill in the whitelist as you would expect.  List out the sites you want to allow the computers access to.  2.  List out the computers by IP that are NOT subject to the whitelist only rules and put them in the 'Unrestricted IPs' box, one per line.  You might have to make one group static and the other on DHCP, or set reservations in DHCP.  Depends on your situation and number of hosts to deal with. 3.  Place a single '.' (no quotes) in the blacklist.  This is the wild card character for squid. This is exactly how we have a production system running, it's amazing.

    A few notes: 1. apparently you need to log in to the forums to see the screen shots 2. mfs mounts = aka "RAM disk".  Basically if you have a box running pfsense with lots of RAM, why not use some spare RAM to save wear and tear on your CF or hard drive while still allowing for a full install of pfsense. 3. has an option to create a default set of mfs mount points for a few common directories that are accessed/written to on a frequent basis with two clicks of your mouse. 4. an initial package is complete, I am looking on what the procedures are to submit this for review.  (I have email the coreteam, etc)
