    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

    Well I actually fixed two of problems: Suppressing those Snort alerts via this link: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,41533.msg220893.html#msg220893 and adding the ability to view offending packets in the Snort logs using this mod: http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2008 So, the only question left is: Is it possible to manually block an IP with Snort, without adding a new firewall rule?

    Thank you everyone! I have submitted a proper (I think) patch for both 8* configs now. I'm eagerly waiting to see if the nightly build will pick it up if approved, like jimp suggested. That should complete the framework I had in mind. I assume dropping additional files into a directory can be accomplished as so (like the widescreen package): <additional_files_needed><prefix>/usr/local/pkg/widescreen/</prefix> <chmod>644</chmod> http://www.pfsense.org/packages/config/widescreen/bin/all.css_</additional_files_needed> EDIT: How do I issue a pull request for new files uploaded to my repository (via Git gui??) The files I'm talking about are here: https://github.com/namezero111111/pfsense-packages/tree/master/config/nrpe2

    Thank you for the interesting response. As far as i am aware, squidGuard error page is using a 302 redirect.  Even if i configure the denied error message to be a blank page i have the problem.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty new to snort and just figuring things out. I probably have a lot more research to do. I've done some testing. I have a pfsense box on my home network so I installed snort and set it up on the LAN interface only and I selected the icmp rules. Then from my pc inside the network I pinged google.com. and got the alert in snort below… #  PRI  PROTO DESCRIPTION     CLASS               SRC     SPORT    FLOW   DST       DPORT     SID           Date 7 3 ICMP ICMP Echo Reply Misc activity 74.125.224.134 empty -> 10.11.12.100 empty 1:408:5 02/13-23:41:07 On the setup at work I select the same icmp rules and have snort enabled only on the LAN interface. When I ping google from the LAN I don't see any alert at all in snort. As far as I can tell all settings are identical between the two setups. Both network layouts are the same, MODEM > PFSENSE/SNORT > LAN. Nothing between the modem and pfsense. I reinstalled snort but no go. The setup at work has been running for over a week. There's about 30 workstations and I can go an entire day without seeing any alerts at all being generated from snort on the LAN interface. At home running the same rules and only 2 computers on the LAN I'll get several everyday. I really have no idea what can be different between the setups.

    We've got a couple wiki pages that cover that. Really though you don't want to use packages-8-stable. There is a chance it refers to libraries that do not exist. http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages

    Yep.. that's the most common mistake there. Local users have to have their certs assigned to the user they're associated with. Otherwise it wouldn't know that they are valid users with certs for the VPN.

    Sorry but I don't have problems about gui tool but I have trouble the backend. For test I started to reinstall HAVP package for many times. After the issue I discovered that the settings come back ( proxy type, port, etc.. ) so I decided to clear file system after uninstall but settings come back again so I don't understand this. I don't verify the recirect pf rule after the reinstall. I's a good idea now. Can you tell me the file structure of config saving and config directories about havp package? Why is the reason that after I clear directories and reinstall package the last config is come back? I think I post ANY information not only the frontend but backend.
