    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.

    @rosskan In theory, when you tunnel a 'VPN1' over another 'VPN2', VPN2 will see the originating IP as the one belonging to VPN1, not your real WAN IP. So far, ok. That said, when you subscribed to VPN1 and VPN2, you probably used your ISP IPv4 ^^ You installed the VPN1 (or2) application on your crappy laptop ?, if so, 'forget about it' ^^ 'as they know', the app is at an end point, and can see 'everything'. Don't forget that you pay for your VPN subscription, but you give them more then your money. They can see and use your data connection for 'data mining'. And they will make use of that data - by selling it. Why ? Because the share holders want a good financial result. If you need to connect two (your !) networks (or sites) together, use your own VPN solution. Don't use a commercial company. For example, take the ones you got with pfSense. If you really need to use that public network (aka : the Internet) to contact public servers, you are aware that the connection is already encrypted end-to-end ? That's what https is all about. 'http' doesn't really exist anymore / shouldn't be used. Also, you need to take other steps to be safe : you really should start with removing "windows 10" out of the equitation .... @rosskan said in What information can vpn provider see when I use wireguard?: does wireguard share the mac address of the ethernet port of the crappy laptop with vpn provider #2? MAC addresses travel on a local segment. Your laptop's MAC doesn't travel any further then the first hop, this is most probably your first router (gateway) like pfSense. Packet capture your traffic to check this. The Ethernet headers are not encrypted.

    @bmeeks I went ahead and deleted the snort package completely (saved settings though) and then installed latest package. Everything seems to be running smoothly now, but I have to wonder why this problem is only happening with snort updates and consistently. I'll see what happens with the next update unless you have some other advice.

    @wickeren said in Freeradius with LDAP backend and 802.1x: Have set Active Directory Compatibility in the Freeradius LDAP settings and played around with the EAP settings. For now the default is PEAP, in the EAP-PEAP section the default is MSCHAPv2 and Copy Request to Tunnel is set to Yes. According to some info I have found this should be OK, but in my case it isn’t however. Still think it must be something there, but can’t figure it out yet. Hi , I tried to configure free-radius on Pfsense (authentication via ldap or Kerberos) , i have AD 2008 . can you share your configuration please

    Hi, Softflowd traffic is sending to the collector based on the pfSense routing table. In your case, I suppose you have got a static route to join the collector through OpenVPN1 interface. So, it's OpenVPN1 the source interface.

    Even if they were encrypted before being put in there, they are still in plain text in config.xml. If you don't like that, set the user password to MD5-Password and put the hash in and not the actual password in FreeRADIUS. Keeping them plaintext but encrypting/hashing them in the users file would be pointless.

    Open a ssh shell. Goto /var/log. Stop tinc in the gui. Save tinc.log somewhere, just in case. Do clog -i -s 511488 tinc.log #This makes a new bigger, blank, circular log file. Restart tinc in the gui In the gui Status -> Services restart syslogd Profit. For further investigation, find out how to fix this in the installation.

    Hi, Something you didin't mention, but probably did : When changing, for a example, the SOA in a zone file, and this zone is also updated by RFC 2136 (dynamic), you have to : rndc freeze <zone> Only now you can open, edit, and save the zone file. rndc reload <one> rndc thaw <zone> Syncing the ".jnl" == journal file is ok, buth bind keep the actual working zone structure in memory, not in the actual file you are editing. Btw : I don't know if all this is done by pfSense, but when you edit the file, use these 3 "rndc" sequences. The action is visible in the "general" log - if the bind package has such a facility : Example : 16-Aug-2018 15:30:14.300 general: received control channel command 'freeze home.brit-hotel-fumel.fr' 16-Aug-2018 15:30:14.300 general: freezing zone 'home.brit-hotel-fumel.fr/IN': success 16-Aug-2018 15:30:27.940 general: received control channel command 'reload home.brit-hotel-fumel.fr' 16-Aug-2018 15:30:35.636 general: received control channel command 'thaw home.brit-hotel-fumel.fr' 16-Aug-2018 15:30:35.636 general: thawing zone 'home.brit-hotel-fumel.fr/IN': success

    You should most likely create a new thread if you feel you have found a bug, and if can duplicate it then please open a redmine on it. Locking this thread since it is 7 years old. And freerad 2.x is no longer a new package anyway.

    @yummy909 said in Suricata fail to start: I gotcha. I will do some searching. Thank you for help getting over that hump. I didn't read that anywhere, where the core count causing that issue. Wonder what else that is effecting. The Suricata developers have worked on making that error message offer a better hint to the solution, but they still have a ways to go. There was some discussion about it on their bug site several months ago. This particular issue has bitten a handful of Suricata users on pfSense that have high core count CPUs. Bill
