    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.

    why do you have suricata why not use snort? I had service watchdog but I thought it was a bit of overkill. Im guessing its constantly monitoring your services which may cause CPU load maybe try to uninstall it for a day and see how it goes. And don't forget to reboot after (had an issue with squid one time) Also i had ntopng and I went from 26 percent to 60 percent CPU usage. Not sure if softflowd might be the case too but to figure out all possible outcomes I would also recommend uninstall it. CPU goes to 100% for the process for 5-10 minutes, then it goes back to normal like nothing ever happened. so your saying after 10mins of 100% it goes back down? and this happens for how long?

    There is a slight leak somewhere in strongSwan that we haven't tracked down yet, which is probably why charon was the one to die since it couldn't get more memory. Most systems have enough RAM that it goes unnoticed, but ALIX is severely limited by today's standards.

    Thanks for moving this to the right place. I did some more searching, and this post helped isolate the problem, and the last line has a valid workaround: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=84063.msg460879#msg460879 "chflags schg /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/etc/raddb/scripts/otpverify.sh" On the x86_64 architecture I tested today, the script /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/local/etc/raddb/scripts/otpverify.sh gets modified upon reboot so that the first line is just "#!" rather than "#!/usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/bin/bash".  Setting an immutable bit prevents the bad modification, but obviously that could be a problematic workaround to support. Thanks to grinyas for isolating the issue.  I'll set an immutable bit for now so we can keep this in production.

    There's really no point in obfuscating MAC addresses because they are only in your local network visible. No attack surface to be gained here. On the other side it helps someone analysing your problem. I could have seen if they are from the same manufacturer (same device?), or if the local administered bit is set, which would be an indication of virtual MACs (eg. CARP). Please provide a network diagram how your stuff is set up. Obviously somewhere is traffic leaking between your networks. In the diagram please don't obfuscate your internal network addresses. It does not help your security and makes it harder to wrap ones mind around your setup. Also don't leave out "non-critical devices". You may think they have no impact, but maybe they do.

    Hi, I have the 22nd set as cutoff date. I installed vnstat2 beginning of April and was expecting it to start with May on the 22 or 23. Maybe I posted a bit early, because I noticed, that beginning of May, it did not switch over to show the May traffic. It looks to me, like it would count until May 22, and than switch. Any thoughts? Cheers, Eddi
