    @KOM said in Squid: "Undefined symbol "_ZTVNSt3__117bad_function_callE" after upgrade to 2.8: I'm also not comfortable with the 'move lib somewhere else' fix as I don't know what side-effects it may have and I don't know how a future upgrade will handle it. I have two pfSense with longer upgrade history running, came across the same problem when upgrading to 2.8 and my thoughts were exactly the same. But then I was diving deeper and... The upgraded one, after the upgrade: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 9415736 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 819952 Jan 31 2022 /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 952 May 22 03:19 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a The one still on 2.7.2 / FreeBSD 14: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8603484 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 819952 Jan 31 2022 /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 87114 Dec 6 2023 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a And last, but not least a stock FreeBSD 14.0 REL-p4: # ls -l /usr/lib/libc++* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8579844 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.a -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 48 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 86778 Nov 10 2023 /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a As i see it, this libc++.so.1 as of 2022 must have been left back by an earlier update. Especially when looking at such a commonly used lib, I would speculate that the rm command used to remove it during this earlier update was using it itself and thus, was unable to remove it. Knowing this, I followed the recommendation to just remove it (or move it away to /root), rebooted and everything works fine. There is no need to un/reinstall squid. Just move away /usr/lib/libc++.so.1 and reboot. When updating from 2.7.2 or another FreeBSD 14 based release, it may also be an option to do this before starting the update to keep the downtime as short as possible. And, coming back to the concern quoted initially: I beleive that it is very unlikely that anybody will miss this old lib. Maybe somebody who upgraded an instance with less upgrade history can have a look in his /usr/lib and confirm that there is no libc++.so.1 at all.

    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.

    Ran into this issue today as well running on 25.07.1 with pfblockerNG-devel 3.2.7. Followed the steps outlined in this thread to edit the pfblockerng.sh file, then deleted/force reloaded all the lists, and all was well again. Thank you everyone in this thread for your your help and great instructions.

    @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.

    @yobyot I've SSHed into pfsense and for the sake of testing I've simply run the command: tailscale up --auth-key=tskey-client-kQ_THE_REST_IS_A_SECRET\?preauthorized=true\&ephemeral=false --accept-dns=false --accept-routes --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=X.X.X.X/24 --advertise-tags=tag:pfsense Note the preauthorized=true and ephemeral=false I gave this key all permissions (temporarly as I just wanted to verify it's working) of course I had to register the tag used also in the ACL tags pane: https://login.tailscale.com/admin/acls/visual/tags so far so good

    @mmjlz: Hi, are you using webconfigurator with https? if yes, this had always helped me: If you’re using SSL to secure your webConfigurator, pfSense sends the block page (sgerror.php) over an https connection. By default, any good browser will NOT load an http URL inside an iFrame on an https page (it’s a security thing) Solution Instead, you can set lighttpd to ignore sgerror.php when it redirects http requests to https. 1. Go to “Diagnostics > Edit File” and load /etc/inc/system.inc     Find the lines that modify your lighttpd config to redirect http to https, which should say:     $SERVER["socket"] == ":80" {     $HTTP["host"] =~ "(.)" {     url.redirect = ( "^/(.)" => "https://%1{$redirectport}/$1" )     }     } 2. Update them to NOT redirect the file beginning sgerror.php:     $SERVER["socket"] == ":80" {     $HTTP["host"] =~ "(.)" {     url.redirect = ( "^/^(sgerror)(.)" => "https://%1{$redirectport}/$1" )     }     } 3. Save. 4. Go to "Diagnostics > Edit File" and load /usr/local/pkg/squidguard_configurator.inc     Find the lines starting with: $guiport = (!empty     Make a new line below and enter: $guiport = '80'; 5. Save. Restart your webConfigurator (shell option 11). 6. Restart SquidGuard maybe it helps you too :) You are a star this fixed the problem for me Thank you very much :)

    Snort and OpenVPN

    Hi, I have a similar setup. I have one LAN and one WAN and the OpenVPN Server running. I use my mobile devices to redirect all traffic through the VPN and then browse the web using my internet connection. And I can confirm that snort cannot listen on the OpenVPN interface and snort cannot see something on LAN. But snort analyzes the traffic from OpenVPN to the web on the WAN interface. PS: It seems to be independent if the OpenVPN server is listening to the LAN or the WAN interface.

    @ghkrauss: I notice that just using ETPro with Snort will not allow configuration of the wan interface. That is not true.  You can use any rule set on any configured interface.  What leads you to think Snort does not support ETPro on the WAN interface? @ghkrauss: Does one have to use snort rules with ETPro rules? No, you can use just the Emerging Threats rules if you like (or just the Snort GPLv2 Community rules, or any combination of ET, VRT and Community rules). @ghkrauss: How does one configure Snort for use of Emerging Threat ETPro ruleset? On the GLOBAL SETTINGS tab click the checkbox to enable ETPro rules then type your subscription code into the text box that will appear.  The page uses dynamic HTML to show/hide form fields as different options are enabled.  Be sure you are using a current version browser that supports dynamic HTML (pretty much anything these days will). There is a sticky thread in the Packages forum for quickly setting up Snort for new users.  You may find it helpful. Bill

    If you run a local copy of the packages repo, you can sync it to any version/commit you want. If someday pfSense packages files get fetched by a commit id or tag just like we can do on freebsd ports, it will be easy to roll back.

    @simby: Do we have snort 3.0 date in pfsense ?  8) No.  Two external events have to occur first.  Those are (in order of occurrence): 1.  Snort 3.0 goes to RELEASE state 2.  The FreeBSD port of Snort updates to the 3.0 code base. Until both of the events above transpire, the Snort package will stay on the 2.9.x code base. Bill

    The stream alerts can be very annoying, especially on an installation using libpcap like the package utilizes on pfSense.  I generally disable the majority of those stream alert rules in Suricata. Bill

    Snort - Starting Issue

    Some questions for you to help with troubleshooting: 1.  Did you ever run Snort before?  In other words, could there be an old Snort configuration that the package install is seeing and using? 2.  Are you running a full install of pfSense on a HDD or SSD, or is this a NanoBSD installation on a CF card? 3.  Do you see any messages in the system log related to the Snort package? Some notes – If you once had Snort installed and the setting enabled to save the configuration, then the new install will detect and try to use those old settings.  If that old configuration used a ton of rules, it can take many seconds (up to 1 minute or more) for Snort to start.  If you leave the package installation screen before that process completes, the final piece of package installation will not happen and you will not see a Snort menu selection under SERVICES.

    Don't stay fixated on just your file MD5 hash table needs.  A lot of other Suricata stuff uses the hash table as well.  The error message was indicating a computed hash table requirement of 40,674,836,480 bytes.  I have no idea is that number is accurate or not, but I can tell it is being computed by the binary part of Suricata and not the PHP GUI part.

    @ghkrauss: Gentlemen: I have Suricata installed running with Pfsense 2.2. I have a subscription to Emering Threats ETPro rules. Does one have to also install Snort rules also? Any specific configuration issues for Emerging Threats ETPro rules? No, there is no requirement to use the Snort VRT rules.  In fact, you will find that a significant number of them (around 700 or more at last count) will not compile and run on Suricata due to them containing some rule options and keywords that are not currently supported in Suricata.  If you have an ET-Pro subscription, you should be fine. There some configuration threads posted here in the Packages forum.  Do a quick search for "Suricata blueprint" and that should turn up one of them. Bill

    @Nachtfalke: Question 1: Is it possible to get a separte report which shows me the websites the user(s) connected between specific hours. So I want a report which only shows the reports between 0900-0959 and between 1000-1059. With the SARG arguments above and disabled "overwrite reports" I got an hourly report but this report contains everything from the beginning of the say. So like 0000-0859 and the next report from 0000-0959. So I would appreciate any suggestions or corrections if I did configure or understand something wrong. Will work only if you rotate the log without "overwrite reports" checked. Question 2: I am not able to find a statistic where I can exactly see which user(s) accessed which website at a specific timerange. So I want to see that one user accessed www.google.com at 091:10am, 0935am and so on. The reason why I am interested in this statistic is because I want to know why a snort alert was generated. I want to see which websites were accessed at this time by a specific user to find out if it was the website the user accessed generated the alert or if it was some "adware banner" or something crosslinked on the page which generated the alert. 'sites and users' reports show who accessed the site but it does not include a time colum. but if you click on the user, sarg will redirect you to client day report.

    Tunables recommended for FreeBSD in a server role often do not make sense for pfSense in a firewall role. The nature of connections and traffic are completely different. Tunables shouldn't be added or changed unless the implications are properly understood for all of them. There isn't a "one size fits all" list of tunables to be applied. We set things by default that are good to have, and others may be tweaked but unless there is a reason for doing so, don't apply values that are "recommended" for other configurations. That said, the error you see would likely also happen to Unbound on FreeBSD in the same configuration.

    Squid is the only package I have installed, a box that will do DHCP, firewall and DNS & web caching is what I was after when I built this. By moving the cache out of /var, squid is finally caching (into a persistent cache). I have had this running for like a week now caching updates for different machines, I got it rebooted few times and the cache is ~4GB and keeps growing  :)

BBCan, as awesome as he is, also offered to help (you guys rock! thank you!). If you can, It'd be awesome to have a TeamViewer or WebEx session on or after march 5th. If you are unable to, I'll gather logs and shoot 'em over your way. I'm sure it's not working due to something stupid I did :P Again, thank you and have a great weekend, sir!
