    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 been following the progress of the syslog-ng package for pfSense as I have been wanting to provide long-term logging as well as increased flexibility over pfSense's standard logging solution.  While the package still has some issues, recent bug-fix commits have at least allowed me to get it setup on my router and it is working pretty much the way I want.  I think there's still an issue with the log-rotate and compress feature but I haven't looked into it yet to see if I can fix it myself. If you would like to experiment with syslog-ng, I would be more than willing to help you out!

    Hi  killmasta93, I took a look at your Firwall Rules screenshot… Please do not use the "pfBlockerNGSuppress" Alias as a Firewall Rule Reference… That Alias is used for suppressing those IPs when Lists are downloaded so that they don't end up blocking those IPs. Take a look at the following thread: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg513676#msg513676

    Okay , found it ! If it can help someone : The snort logs are included in the firewall logs so if you redirect your logs to a syslog server in >Status>System Logs>settings>remote server splunk will catch them. But you have to allow incoming logs from udp port 514 in splunk Now the question is .. how to correctly parse snort logs in splunk because the log format seems to have changed recently and I can't find any support on the net

    @wheemer: I have PFBlockerNG enabled and I have russia, china and hong kong blocked. However my emails software is still saying it's blocking chinese IPs that are trying to brute force password hack me. I can also still browse chinese websites even though I have in and out blocked. Hi wheemer, Do you have any "Firewall Pass Rules" above the Block/Reject Rules that would allow those IPs thru? Floating Rules are processed first (top to bottom), then the Interface Firewall Rules (top to bottom) and typically on the First Rule Match thats found.

    I just encountered this issue today. I reinstalled the stunnel package and still was not able to launch stunnel. I ssh-ed into my pfsense box and did find / | grep stunnel the result from the above command lead me to examine /usr/local/etc/rc.d/stunnel.sh cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/stunnel.sh which returned #!/bin/sh # This file was automatically generated # by the pfSense service handler. rc_start() {         /usr/local/bin/stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf } rc_stop() {         killall stunnel } case $1 in         start)                 rc_start                 ;;         stop)                 rc_stop                 ;;         restart)                 rc_stop                 rc_start                 ;; esac This suggested that /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf is used as the configuration file so I followed with cat /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf to examine the file, which in turn showed cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem chroot = /var/tmp/stunnel setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel Manually running the following on the command line /usr/local/bin/stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf confirmed that stunnel was exiting because there was no actual tunnel endpoints set up. So I went back to the WebGUI under Services > Stunnel, and took a look at the Tunnels tab where I had 3 tunnel endpoints configured. I figured that clicking the edit button on each entry and then clicking the save button would repopulate the /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf file so I clicked 'edit' and subsequently 'save' for each of my tunnel endpoints. As a precaution I navigated to the Certificates tab and did the same edit-save procedure for each of my three certificates. I then went back to the command line and made sure my clicking around had an effect. I ran cat /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf and was glad to see that my clicking around the GUI wasn't in vain; the file was populated with configuration parameters defining my endpoints. I then manually started stunnel from the commmand line with /usr/local/bin/stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf and my stunnel is up and running again (also shows green on the Status > Services section). I haven't yet restarted the firewall and don't know if the solution will persist or not. Best regards, V

    @turbogizzmo: I have a internal Exchange server on a different subnet that needs to send emails out a different gateway. Exchange is picky about the number of NICs and routing changes so I wondered if sending via a smart host would be the cleaner answer and if thats something the Postfix package can achieve? Yes, it's possible to set up the Postfix Forwarder as a smart host. After setting it up to relay outbound mail through your provider, you essentially need to tell Postfix to permit SMTP mail relay from your trusted internal host (the Exchange server). The easiest way to do that it so add your local subnet(s) (e.g. 172.16.0.0/16) or specific IP addresses (e.g. 172.16.0.1/32) to mynetworks. Here's my full solution for pfSense 2.2 from another thread. Hope that helps!
