    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.

    @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! (SIMH-tape-data sounds like a "blast from the past" ...) 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.

    @jimp said in ACME pkg v1.0: Check again now. The ACME 1 package came out after the 25.07.1 branch was frozen for the release, I picked it over there now and it should have just finished building. Version 25.07 includes Acme 1.0. Version 25.07.1 includes only Acme 0.9_1. If you do a fresh install of 25.07.1, you get only Acme 0.9_1. If you upgrade to 25.07.1 from 25.07 and had already updated the Acme package to 1.0 in 25.07, you’ll still have Acme 1.0.

    I have Wireguard installed on my firewalls. I have about 12 firewalls and most of them connect back to the main firewall which allows the connection to the servers in the main building. I setup a tunnel on each and then added each location as a peer on the Main firewall. This seemed to work except that the gateway. unde3r Monitor IP it only allows one IP address. So the first one works and shows connected fine, but the other 2 are red and do not connect. Everything seems to work until I added a 3rd peer and then the 1st peer showed as if it was offline even though it looked fine and I was able to connect to devices on that network. Am I supposed to add multiple gateways to the Main firewall so that shows as up? Is this the right way for the tunnels between the buildings which need access will work - By adding a tunnel at that location and just adding a peer to the main location?

    @rico Thanks, I read that several times and couldn't see which scenario would allow me to access the backup files after the previous upgrade to 2.4.4, which was in October. I have my encryption code (from legacy setup) and the current device key. There's two possible solutions? #anchor(Restoring Backups from Another Firewall or a Previous Installation I)f the SSH key changes due to a re-installation of pfSense, the ACB package can restore a backup from the previous installation as long as the Device Key and the Encryption Password of the previous installation are both known. Navigate to the the Settings tab Set the Encryption Password to match the previous installation Navigate to the Restore tab Paste the old device key into the Device Key field Click the Submit button This temporarily allows ACB to display a list of backups for an alternate Device Key. ***** Does the Device Key change on reinstalling pfSense, or is it static for the hardware?** #anchor(Bare Metal Restoration I)f the hard drive is lost, the following procedure is necessary to recover the state of the new firewall installation to the last configuration change: Install pfSense on the new hard drive. Bring up LAN and WAN, and assign the hostname and domain exactly the same as it was previously configured. Install the AutoConfigBackup package. Configure the AutoConfigBackup package as described above, using the portal account and the same encryption password as used previously. Visit the Restore tab and choose the configuration to restore. After the restoration is done, reboot when prompted. ****I don't have this information. I may be able to find it, but it was not information I knew was critical.

    Sorry for stepping in 2 years later, however, there are 3 variables you need to check: UPSTYPE, DEVICE, AND UPSCABLE. In my case, I have: UPSCABLE smart UPSTYPE usb DEVICE and it works perfectly, indeed it works fine with my CyberPower CP1000AVRLCDa. In my case, I had to have 'UPSCABLE smart' set or it wouldn't detect it.

    @robin24 said in Using the FreeRADIUS package to authenticate against macOS Server Open Directory: I was actually able to set up the macOS server as an authentication server in PFSense, so I can now log in to Webconfigurator using the accounts stored in LDAP. I'm trying to do the same thing, and would setlle for just LDAP auth, can you post your settings? Did you ever get this the radius server to work? If so I'd love to hear how! Thanks, mike
