    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.

    @LowKnee Just out of curiosity are you referring to the Database Sanity Check reporting that "these two counts should match" it the count is off by 1 (which I suspect is your case) there was a fix (manual code change) to change masterfile to mastercat in pfblolckerng.sh you want to change this change the line from s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${masterfile})" to s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${mastercat})" There is also an edge case if the count is greater than one, here is how that goes if in the deny directory you have say two flies (because of the list / file selection you have and they have repeat addresses file 1 has say 100 lines file 2 has say 10 lines (but those 10 lines are also in file 1, file 2 is a subset) you get two uniquely named deny files and then when the "count" is calculated on the deny directory it sees 110 entries when the "count:" is calculated on the "mastercat" file it only contains 100 entries the count doesn't match in my case the issue was caused by full list I had selected, also having an available subset lists (I had inadvertently selected one of) this causing two deny files with some of the same (overlapping data) I unselected the subset and bingo matched again, was a "my bad" selection. Edit: this applied to 25.07 (and 25.07.1) and pfblockerng 3.2.7 as it is labelled on those versions of pfSense

    @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.

    @provels said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: This same mess happened to me, even w/o Acme, going from 25.07 to *.1. Blew, reinstalled w/ Crowdsec, blew again, reinstalled, clipped all the Crowdsec info from config.xml, restored config, back to normal. Crowdsec is a great concept, but I think I'm out. I never had this issue with Crowdec before the ACME update, even with updating from 2.7 to 2.8 there was no issues. In fact after restoring from a backup after the ACME update, Crowdsec reinstalled just fine, and this was before the recent release a couple days ago that contained a fix.

    I have Wireguard setup with 3 peers. The peers are now receiving good handshakes and I looked over everything and everything looks good. However, from a laptop connected to the main FW I can take over items in the other LANs and I can get into pfSense by using the local IP instead of the public IP except for 1. Even though it looks good I cannot access anything on that LAN. I can ping the public IP but not the local. I have checked over everything I can think of and it just will not allow the traffic across. I have no idea what else to try?

    When you enable "Suppression" in the General tab, the "+" icon should appear in the Alerts Tab beside the Blocked IP address. Maybe you can use the "Adv Inbound Settings" for those Open Ports : https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg524957#msg524957 For the Whitelist, be careful with Permit Inbound or Permit Both… You only want to use those if you set the specific ports and destination Lan IP addresses that is allowed to enter from the WAN. Otherwise you are allowing those IPs to bypass any other Firewall rules in the WAN Firewall tab. Rules are processed top to bottom...

    Hey, based on this article https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Asymmetric_Routing_and_Firewall_Rules I added a corresponding floating firewall rule for both OpenVPN interfaces. Works like a charme!!! No TCP connection interuption anymore! I love pfsense :-)

    @bmeeks: Same thought processes apply for any list.  Do you want to selectively allow some packets based on their source IP, and let the default block handle everything else; or do you want to have an "allow from any source IP" on the WAN rule and let the firewall check each packet IP against a bunch of IPs on a bunch of lists to see if it should in reality block the traffic. I, and some others on here, recommend the former approach.  Use smaller "allow" lists in conjunction with the default block. However, I'm not trying to change your mind.  You seem to have formed an opinion for how you want to do it, so do it that way and don't fret over it. Bill No, I'm using the package as recommended in the documentation and common sites that offer instructions. I asked, in the initial post, for comments from people who knew what I did and covered the same territory. The info on the lists was vague. The country blocking is really in your face in the package and appears to be recommended. Thus my questions for actual package users, as opposed to people who have opinions but no direct experience. Thanks, though, for the alias info, I intend to study it closely.

    @PiBa: It seems to me it depends a lot on how active a package is maintained That's the bulk of the answer there. Also depends on what necessitated the update in the package itself. Updates for security reasons get updated packages quickly. Outside of that, "it depends", primarily on who's the maintainer. Sometimes a package being outdated means it's abandoned, but in other cases like haproxy as PiBa mentioned, it's more a factor of "it ain't broke, don't fix it."

    ntopng 2.0 has not made it into the FreeBSD ports tree yet. That has to happen before any progress can be made on bringing it into pfSense.

    OpenOSPFd has been gone for a while. It was very broken, rarely worked properly, and hadn't been maintained in years. If you need OSPF, use quagga.

    Since this doesn't seem to be a priority, shouldn't it be removed from the package list for 2.2?
