    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 Would you mind sharing a bit about that setup? I understand your reluctance to promise anything if you are looking into pfblockerNG package maintenance.

    @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.

    @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

    So I found the command which the package was using "bsdtar". I created a small script to generate the backup files and set up a cron job to run the backup every evening. Finally I set up rsync to create backed up files of the backup file on a separate server. Backup Script: #/bin/bash cd /home/user/backup mv -v pfsense_backup.tar.gz pfsense_backup_old.tar.gz bsdtar -c -z -f /home/user/backup/pfsense_backup.tar.gz /cf/conf /var/db/rrd /usr/local/bandwidthd /var/squid/logs /var/lightsquid/report Cron Job: 0  2  *  *  *  root  /bin/sh /home/user/pfsense_backup.sh  Hope this helps someone out  :)

    @OldChap: Probably a good thing that I installed 2.0.1 then. Thanks for saving me from some pain  ;D pfsense 2.1 is still in development. So no need to upgrade to 2.1 at the moment - if you do not have time to search for bugs and errors ;)

    Ok, thank you for the clarification.  What if I mounted a USB flash drive on my ALIX board (it has a couple USB ports).  Could I run HAVP from that type of storage?

    Snort also broke my pfSense GUI today.  :( Had to reinstall from scratch and then restore from a config that I had.  Even the 'factory restore' option didn't help. -th3r3isnospoon

    I dont know why this caused the issue but i have found to solution for now. Maybe something changed with the update its something i will have to look through to figure out. Solution: Disable IPv6 Disable IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel Maybe the address changed for the tunnel and it was trying to use IPv6 to access the server from my firewall.  Maybe someone more knowledgeable knows why.  Anyways its fixed. Thanks for all the help

    I do not see any errors in the cache logn the or squid.conf. I think it has to do with the default site with the https protocol. When i put there the second url in it, that url works too but not the first. But if you think apche+mod_security will work better? I will wait when you finished it and will test it. Let me now when your finished it. Regards.

    Thanks for your replie, Nachtfalke. But It doesn'work. If I set any page permission to a user, or just one permission (i.e. Dashboard only), also freeradius  page is denied. No luck. Captive portal + Freeradius unusable for my needings. Sorry but, in my opinion, pfSense is then a bad choice for hot-spot management. I think I will setup an external server with freeradius + daloradius + mysql to let a user manage only captive portal pass and not the whole administration of the gateway. Any chance to install daloradius + mysqlserver on pfsense? Thanks g

    I went back to enable the snort p2p rules and deactivated the ET rules. This time the interface did not crash when running a p2p client, but as already described somewhere else, there were bogus alert messages like (http_inspect) HTTP RESPONSE GZIP DECOMPRESSION FAILED - Unknown Traffic (http_inspect) SIMPLE REQUEST - Unknown Traffic for both interfaces I installed (WAN and LAN side). Things are working in a way but something seems to be scrambled.
