    @qupfer What did I bang my head over this strange 502 issue. Your solution did it! Thank you so much, even 2.5 years later!

    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.

    Hi guys for privacy reasons, I never show my ip address to the vpn provider that I use on my main laptop. "But they keep no logs" I don't know that. what I do instead: I install vpn provider #1 on a crappy laptop that has windows 10. this is a laptop with a crappy processor and perhaps a broken screen but it doesn't matter. in windows 10 network settings, I send the vpn traffic from provider #1 to the ethernet port of the crappy laptop. I connect the main laptop with crappy laptop using an ethernet cable. on my main laptop I use vpn provider #2 using wireguard software. what I am trying to figure is if I use the same crappy laptop but change my main laptop, and I sign up with a new account with vpn provider #2, and I use wireguard on the new laptop, can vpn provider #2 figure out that I am the same person? I guess what it boils down to is this: does wireguard share the mac address of the ethernet port of the crappy laptop with vpn provider #2?

    Q1: Yes this is sufficient. But be sure to check whether log files get rotated. On some package versions logrotate wasn't set as dependancy hence not installed. See #6047 on redmine for latest instructions for beta 2.3. Q2: pfSense philosophy is to auto generate config files from what you enter in the GUI. You might ask the devs to add an extra textarea to the syslog-ng config GUI to add custom options. Could be a feature request on redmine.

    As I have a bash only script, here's a way to get it executed right. Create the following script in /usr/local/bin/script-launcher.sh #!/usr/bin/env sh echo "Executing the cron" >> /tmp/cron_test PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin /usr/local/bin/obackup.sh /etc/obackup/host_backup.conf echo "Return code $0" >> /tmp/cron_test In my case, I have to execute /usr/local/bin/obackup.sh and a parameter, so just replace it with whatever bash script you need to execute. Then you can add it to the cron package like: */1    *      *      *      *      root    /usr/local/bin/script-launcher.sh You may see if it's well executed by using cat /tmp/cron_test If everything went well, comment out the echos.

    smokeping can do that, as mentioned there are lots of nms things that can do that, prtg will do it, observium can do it (free version doesn't do alerting that I am aware of). prtg has a free 100 sensor version. Don't you currently have a NMS??  If not would really look into something.. to monitor a lot more than just ping.  I get alerts from prtg running at home for just my home network.. From there I know when anything goes down… Other than if internet goes down I can not get the alerts out ;)  But I have outside monitoring for that.. You could run something on a little raspberry pi if cost is an issue ;)  I have observium running on pi3 and its working pretty freaking could for monitor a small network. Im with JimP pfsense not really a place for your NMS..  You can take a look at librenms which is a fork of observium that does include alerting in the free version.

    @Derelict: ELK doesn't belong on the firewall. I would love to see an easy ELK bundle for a logging server though. Can't afford splunk. +1 still for my home machine will be nice to have it.can't afford splunk too… and another running on machine :(

    @Carltonson-sky: Can you tell me how to use mail.php under 2.3 release please. I’m looking for the syntax but without success. can you give me an example ? I try to send an email to the people who filled my php form. Not likely to be usable for that. It's for basic mail from the CLI: echo test | mail.php -s="Blah" Start a new thread in the appropriate forum (not here) and maybe someone can help come up with a way to do what you're after. Hosting a form like that on the firewall is not something we'd recommend, however.

    Saving the package configuration? What do you mean? I would imagine that he means that there are two buttons that should be clicked down once is called "save" and the other "apply".

    It depends on the package, but those labels are not kept updated and are generally meaningless.

    Revisiting this finally. The problem I  had was that the haproxy service wouldn't stop when commanded.  This seems to be due to this instance running on a carp slave.  Apparently leaving the "carp monitor: Monitor carp interface and only run haproxy on the firewall which is MASTER." configuration option unused means "always run haproxy on the slave and don't let it stop".  I was expecting to have two running instances of haproxy that synced sessions so I could monitor these services on both boxes.  I suppose this is an unsupported configuration.  I'll figure out something another way to do what I need.
