    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

    one is dec_keyid and the other is enc_keyid. If you click on the edit button you will see the actual rule text and you will likely find it matches on different things.

    check backend status on varnish widget. You must disable nat for port 80, varnish will do the job. Until you get this working, publish varnish on port 81 for example, create a wan rule to permit port 81 communication and do tests.

    Thanks for the updated info.  I mis-used the "suppress" part.  I thought it was just to not show those events being triggered in the webConfiguration log. Thanks! AWS

    @marcelloc: squid works very well on 2.x platform. but congratulations on your successful setup. Its a surprise for me again, my server was working fine till Saturday and Today on Monday is has started giving same error. I had not upgraded my PFsense it is still 1.2version, then how come it had it started behaving like my previous issue. Please letme know how my ACL's can we make and how many computers we can allow for internet. I had made 23 Group ACL's and around 400 IP address is been allowed for internet. Below is my configs for Cache Management Hard disk cache size : 4096 MB Hard disk cache system : ufs (please explain what this means) Memory cache size : 512 MB Minimum object size : 0 Maximum object size : 1024 Maximum object size in RAM : 10240 Level 1 subdirectories : 16 Memory replacement policy : Heap GDSF (please explain what this means) Cache replacement policy : Heap LFUDA (please explain what this means) For Traffic Management Maximum download size : 10240 Maximum upload size : 10240 Overall bandwidth throttling : 0 Per-host throttling : 0 Finish transfer if less than x KB remaining : 0 Abort transfer if more than x KB remaining : 0 Finish transfer if more than x % finished : 0 Please Guide on above config are the required any corrections

    Nevermind, got it working. Logging in as root helps. Thanks for the info, everything is great now. BTW, didn't need to change to port 80, I just specified the same port my GUI uses in the squidguard blacklist config. I don't know why, but I feel using a port other than 80 adds some additional layer of protection. I know that the port number change up is miniscule, but it fools passing probes on the internet. Thanks for the pointer again, I had no clue it was that simple…

    @gommox: I also don't understand one thing: how HAProxy knows to which server to route the request if there is no any map between the hostname and the IP? when the request comes from Internet "www.server_1.com" how HAProxy knows to which serverto route the request? I thought that it checks on DNS Forward configuration in PFSense box (all domains are configured there, domains existing in my DMZ). It is correct or I'm wrong? That's the point, haproxy balance based on ip addresses not based on host names. If you need hostname balance, then you need to use varnish or apache2+mod_security take a look on package description to choose between both. I prefer varnish  ;)

    I can't work out whether this last sentence is saying soft_bounce should always be off (for both postfix and postscreen) in a non-test environment.   Do you have any further information/advice on this? The soft bouce field has this info taken from postfix documentation Safety net to keep mail queued that would otherwise be returned to the sender. This parameter disables locally-generated bounces, and prevents the Postfix SMTP server from rejecting mail permanently, by changing 5xx reply codes into 4xx. However, soft_bounce is no cure for address rewriting mistakes or mail routing mistakes. I have this enabled and working for many weeks, so i think using default option 'enabled only in postscreen' will be enough.

    I also have problems installing Squid on PFSense 2.1 DEV (i386). When installing the package, on the re configuring filter part, I briefly get the following warning: Warning: unlink(/etc/squid/squid.conf): No such file or directory in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc on line 794 Warning: symlink(): No such file or directory in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc on line 795 [image: Install_PKG.png] Then, the package seems to have installed successfully, but when I access the "Proxy Server" from the Services menu, I get this error: Warning: dir(/usr/local/etc/squid/errors/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc on line 432 Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc on line 433 Anyone can give me an idea what to do and how can I troubleshoot this ? Thanks a lot.

    Updated it a lot, now auto-updating data by default in background, remembering last read logs and last selected item in tree, showing unread logs as red icons, several UI tweaks and optimizations, better  MySQL queries.
