    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.

    @raidflex said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: 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. Yeah, that may be, but if you install packages with dependencies on the console rather then the package manager, those may have (old) dependencies for specific versions. So if that crowdsec package has a dependency on an older pfsense base package or something like that and you install any other package (like Acme) which may collide with that, the package manager makes a decision to solve the conflict. Not always the most sane one - sure - but that's like any other distro out there. Manually installing packages on the console always may get you into dependency hell :) Just saying, because now it was acme, next time it could easily be some other package triggering such an effect. Cheers

    @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

    @wbennett77: Thanks BBcan177, Once last question re snort. If I have the IPS policy set to Connectivity or Balanced and "Block Offenders" disabled does that make Snort just a logger or is it still protecting against the IPS policy chosen? Thanks! You have to enable "Blocking" for it to actually Protect your network. or its just going to Alert only. I suggest "Block Offenders", "Kill States" and "Block Both"

    As an update… thanks for the replies guys.  I finished the HA cluster upgrade from 2.0.3 to 2.1.5 this morning (everything went perfectly).  I definitely didn't want to customize the installation by trying to get snort to work on 2.0.3.

    Hi pjkenned, Thanks. I never thought a config that small (basically nothing configured yet, no frontends / no backends) would cause such a big problem (php process 'crashes' in the background).. Even though while when haproxy configuration is completely absent there apparently is no problem.. Send a pull-request https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pull/720 to fix this issue. It will probably get pulled later today. Thanks for reporting the issue & providing the info required to fix it. Kind regards PiBa-NL

    Squidguard url-rewrite for Google safe search?

    Possibly the rewrite works as expected but then Google redirects the request to SSL, whereupon (without further tech) the rewrite isn't possible. You can workaround the SSL redirect by creating CNAME records for all Google domains you allow, pointing at nosslsearch.google.com. Rumours are that there is known way to circumvent that method, so can also try accepting the SSL but using the CNAME record method to force safe search forcesafesearch.google.com. Or just ban Google for being idiots and forcing SSL and use Bing instead.

    @fsansfil: Hey there, Thanks for the quick reply. Just tested it again, this time with a newly created modify.config, did checked rebuild in front of the interface (LAN), still nothing. Seems the check rebuild button dont save, every refresh it goes back to uncheck… Thanks. F. BBcan177 is correct in describing the steps.  The new SID MGMT tab takes the configuration files and uses the instructions within to create a list of rules Suricata will use for inspecting traffic.  Literally, the primary purpose of the SID MGMT tab itself is to let you upload, edit and assign various text configuration files to your interfaces.  Saving simply does this part.  The actual creation of the new list of rules for Suricata to use for network traffic inspection happens in these three cases: 1.  You click the REBUILD checkbox next to the interface on the SID MGMT tab.  That will not only save the file assignments as described above, but will trigger the creation of a new list of rules for the interface.  Once the list is created, the running Suricata process is sent a "live rule reload" signal.  You will see this in the suricata.log file viewed in the LOGS VIEW tab for the interface.  As BBcan177 said, you can then go to the CATEGORIES or RULES tabs for the interface and see the new color-coded icons beside the impacted text rules. 2.  Once auto-SID management is enabled, every time you click SAVE on any other interface tabs, the list of rules is rebuilt using the logic in the assigned SID MGMT configuration files. 3.  Finally, when an automatic download of updated rules occurs via the scheduled update job, a new rules list is generated and Suricata is signaled to load it.

    Correct, 2.0.x is dead. Upgrade. We cannot rebuild packages for it, if a security issue happens (as happened here), they will be removed from 2.0.x. If something breaks, they will be removed from 2.0.x. If a package maintainer doesn't want to maintain compatibility that far back, it can be removed from 2.0.x also. Eventually, all packages for 2.0.x will be gone. There is little reason to stay on such an old version. The security issues alone that have been fixed since then should be enough of a motivator to upgrade.

    @fsansfil: Right now I dont have full control over $HOME_NET… for an example, I have suricata on WAN, LAN and not on OPT1. But no matter what I do, I end up with the OPT1 network in the $HOME_NET (white/pass list) of the LAN Suricata...Let us use aliases to fully define $HOME_NET, $EXTERNAL... etc. Are you creating the custom HOME_NET list this way? 1.  Go to Firewall…Alias and create one or more aliases as necessary to define your custom HOME_NET.  You might have to create several sub-aliases, and then combine them into a single master alias. 2.  Create a Pass List on the PASS LIST tab.  Give it a name.  Maybe "my_homenet" or something. 3.  Within that Pass List, uncheck all the checkboxes.  Then assign the alias created in step #1 to the ADDRESS field.  Save the Pass List. 4.  Go to the INTERFACE SETTINGS tab for the interface you want to customize HOME_NET for.  In the HOME_NET drop-down, select the Pass List created in step #2.  Save the change. 5.  Restart Suricata on the interface to pick up the change in HOME_NET. Following these steps should let you create a HOME_NET variable containing only exactly what you want.  You can also customize a number of the PORT_VARIABLEs on the VARIABLES tab.  Just first create one or more aliases to define your custom ports, then assign those aliases to the port variables on the VARIABLES tab. @fsansfil: Custom rules, It would be nice yo be able to invoke one of our list, not just copy-paste into the web interface (limited in numbers at this time) Providing the ability to upload and use a custom file should be pretty easy to implement.  I will put that on my TODO list of new features.

    I had posted up a long reply & got a error when I tried to post it & it got erased. In short, I have a 42U server rack with the 8 UPS. I run VMs on the other machines & they don't support passthrough for devices, so I can't monitor UPS from each server. Also it seems it would be more of a mess to have each managed individually than all by one main server, my pfSense box. My pfSense box is on dedicated hardware & I have two 4 port rs232 serial hubs hooked to it. It can relay when to shutdown via IP with WinNUT to my Windows VMs. Then I should be able to set ESXi to shutdown when it detects no running VMs.

    HAProxy (1.4.24 pkg v 1.2.5) listener acl issue

    For haproxy 1.4 the only valid acl for https traffic (that is available in the webgui) is the source ip acl. If you shortly can select other acls that is indeed a (small) bug.. If you want to do 'anything' with ssl then you should probably be switching to the haproxy-devel package that uses the haproxy 1.5.x release version. Then you can either use ssl-offloading on haproxy and have full http processing options, or use https with sni to select a backend.

    Squid / SquidGuard suddenly failing (October 3rd 2014) on multiple sites

    In my case, the machine has 2GB RAM, 104GB SSD. RRD graphs show that during the last 30 days, Minimum free Memory was 40% (that also accounts for the OS Cache, which is not included in the regular memory usage, as it will be drropped immediarely if an application demand more Memory). Real memory usage was typically at 10%, with Peaks going up to 20%. Disk usage: 11%. Most of this are probably pfSense backups. Yes, I maninly use squid/squidGuard for filtering, only a very specific set of files gets ever cached. On a third pfSense box, I has no SSH access, so I used a one-liner in the Daignostics : Command Prompt WebGUI: rm -R /var/db/squidGuard/blk* After that, re-download of the blacklist. However, on the third box, squid does not run in transparent mode, and I am not aware if any users dook the option of manually configuring the proxy. As I received no complaints, most probably none.
