    @firefox I don’t think so, to be honest with you I am on an older version also. Just make sure you do the patch package and install all the system patches.

    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.

    @jrey said in pfBlockerNG syslog logentries to remote SIEM: @keyser I so want to answer this, but then at the same time (no I don't) ... pfblocker using syslog messaging in real time. no tailing of files, no other packages, just code. Huuuh? That seems very very interesting I noticed your name in other posts around the forum where you seemed to be QUITE proficient at coding/developing. Are you by any chance considering involvement in developing and refining the pfBlockerNG package? It would be SO great if you are looking into adding native syslog to the pfBlockerNG package - or an easy workaround that does not require additional packages and “temporary” edits in files that does not survive service restarts or pfSense updates. Here’s that you will fill me/us in on the solution you are using to your Greylog - please, pretty please with sugar on top

    @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

    Same here. It started after I installed 25.07. Then it settled down by itself after a few days. It started again after upgrading to 25.07.1. WireGuard works fine (it merely connects to the remote site from this one). However, I am refraining from upgrading the remote, because if the 'service' does not start, I fear it will not listen to incoming connections, which would leave me in a difficult situation. The other topic I had opened before finding this: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/198449/25.07-release-amd64-wireguard-service-reported-stopped-yet-tunnel-trafic-clearly-is-ok

    Snort and IPS/IDS in general is not a turn on once and leave it running kind of solution. You need to asses if the alerts being triggered are false positives or not and add suppress / pass lists based on your needs.

    @cjbujold: Thanks de-activate the rule and everything now works.  The rule # giving the problem is in emerging web-clients rule# 2011695. cjb That rule is disabled by default in both ET-Open and ET-Pro packages, so that's why not too many people run in to the syntax error.  I think it has been reported a number of times, but so far has not been fixed by the authors.  You can fix the error by deleting the backslash in front of the phrase "\object.data" so the pcre expression looks like this instead: "(obj.data|object.data).+file\x3A\x2F\x2F127\x2E[0-9]" Of course the next time your box downloads an updated Emerging Threats rules package your edit would be overwritten.  You could paste the "corrected" rule in as a custom rule and just leave it in the default disabled state in the ET web-client package.

    For redirects, use "External URL Found" and redirect it to your own error page. The client browser is less likely to (but still can) cache a 302.

    Ron, Thanks for responding.  Reboot does not fix the behavior either.  I'm going to try a fresh install at this point.  I believe there is an issue with my install.  I will report back later this evening. Thanks, Ryan

    Is the system running pfSense a full install or NanoBSD? NanoBSD's drive would be kept read only and thus wouldn't be good for working as a receiver. Also I can't remember if the server on pfSense works the same, but often a file must exist first on the server before a client can upload and write it out. Try uploading something via the GUI with the same target name and then see if the upload from the device works.

    What kind of permissions are you talking about? Do you mean different groups should be allowed to visit different websites? then this isn't possible with freeradius. If you want to give users different times or dates to access the internet then this can be done by freeradius. Changeing the password using the users file on freeradius ist not possible until the user has access to the GUI. So you can try with SQL database as user backend and check these documentation: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_2.x_package#CaptivePortal_Self-Registration:FreeRADIUS.2B_MySQL Captive Portal Self Registration.

    @jwsmiths: @KOM: There is a dashboard widget for Installed Packages, but I don't know if it shows available upgrades or not. It does.  If there is an upgrade the package is highlighted in red and IIRC there is a button to click for upgrade right on the dashboard. Cool! Having just updated all my packages I couldn't tell… Doh!

    It is not a good idea to offer more than 50% of your 8192 MB RAM for squid cache. Squid uses RAM for in transit objects for the disk cache. This process needs around 100MB of RAM per GB of disk cache. It is dynamically allocated depending on the object stored in the cache, so this is not an exact science. If you have a large disk cache set, 100GB for instance. You will need, when the disk cache is in full use, 10GB of RAM! Depending on your disk cache, set the memory cache to such a size you know will remain available after the disk cache is in full use. (other process also use RAM, bind etc.) I use around 25% of my RAM for the memory cache and use the 100MB per GB rule to size the disk cache.

    @BBcan177: wcrowder was leading you in the right direction  :) Take for example this Range from the IBlock BT Spyware List Range Format 221.181.73.214-221.181.73.221: Converts to the following in CIDR Notation 221.181.73.214/31 221.181.73.216/30 221.181.73.220/31 So comparing Line Count in Range to CIDR is not going to be exact depending on the Ranges in a particular list. Hope this makes it clearer. BBcan177 - Thanks, and I guess that settles that. :)  So it looks like the only way I have to validate that lists are updating is just if they change from time to time. wcrowder - Sorry, & Thank you.  I guess I had that backwards. Ash,
