    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.

    Thanks @Popolou @Gertjan for the reply. TLDR; I just want to confirm that this isn't a pfSense/ACME bug. I'm just going to delete the deprecated cert and consider this matter closed unless this is a bug. FULL REPLY: Thanks @Popolou @Gertjan for the reply. Thanks for the info. I now understand what is going on with these certificates which is a win. I was expecting that pfSense would manage these certificates and clear out the ones that are no longer needed. No big deal as long as I know I can safely delete them. @Popolou said in How do I fix this expiring ACME Certificate?: @guardian Just check to see which certificates have been issued with the now defunct/expiring CA and if it is zero (which is highly likely), then you can delete it. Any new cert renewals will still take place and the appropriate CA chain will be downloaded and installed if required. You may find you have R10 and R11 (or newer) installed through this route. @Gertjan said in How do I fix this expiring ACME Certificate?: @guardian said in How do I fix this expiring ACME Certificate?: CN=R3 Euh, that one has been depreciated long time ago. Read : Thanks.... I actually found this and read it. @guardian said in How do I fix this expiring ACME Certificate?: Is there a place I can download a new CA certificate? Normally, you don't need to. If your pfSense is recent enough, you has them already. Not under "System > Certificates > Authorities" but in the FreeBSD Certificate storage folder, here /usr/share/certs/trusted/ Thanks for this info. It looks like the certs that I have in play have been downloaded, so I guess I will just delete the old cert and be done.

    @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

    It was rule not nat. I don't belive nat allows wan ip address in rules. It works great and it had cutdown on spam. I am running it on x550e and var is in ram. Is there a way to incerease size of var or postfix would benefit from its own ram drive. It seems that when var fills up and /var/spool/postix is smaller than assigned email size postfix will not relay messages. I had to decrease email size from 30 mb to 20 mb. So if var fillsup with logs and stuff postfix stops working.

    Haha OK I will test… I was being lazy.  :) @marcelloc: Disable the lan rule and test access to a blocked ip. If you have the same result on lan and floating rule, then you leave blocking rules only on floating tab.

    Thanks for that marcelloc, As the backup box has already updated automatically, I ran the command in the console.  No errors but I also did not get any output in the system logs as you normally see when an update is run automatically. I guess I need to leave the box powered off for a while to let it get out of date and test again. Cheers

    Yes, after every new update /usr/local/lib/snort/ is deleted and not re-installed.  So on every update I'm forced to upload those deleted files manually, then update manually, and after all that, manual start snort. This is very annoying.  ::) The deleted directories are: dynamicengine dynamicpreprocessor dynamicrules dynamic_preproc I never had such issues on 2.0.1 (same config).

    whitelisting your tunnel network is the easiest way. Sounds like you have an overly aggressive ruleset in place if just RDPing into a server trips something, some general Snort tuning is probably in order.

    Someone probably just needs to fix the package to make sure it: 1. Adds its user properly (though this may get automatically fixed once some pbi fixes get finished) 2. Sets its config directory explicitly, since the PBI default assumes a different place than before. It should be in /var/etc/ I'm not sure who is actively maintaining havp right now (might be dvserg) but the fixes above should be fairly easy to do.

    Thanks kindly for the suggestions. Could not locate where they were going and they just seemed to remain in the Zimbra que. So I just disabled spam checks in Zimbra and now they are going through after getting tagged/relabled as spam from MailScanner. Thank again :)

    After 20 days varnish goes belly up. Will be removing squid and squidGuard to see what difference it makes. There is no love between those three. BTW does anybody have pfBlocker, pfflowd, squid, squidGuard and Varnish installed and stable on pfs 2.0.1?
