    @firefox I don’t think so, to be honest with you I am on an older version also. Just make sure you do the patch package and install all the system patches.

    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.

    @provels said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: This same mess happened to me, even w/o Acme, going from 25.07 to *.1. Blew, reinstalled w/ Crowdsec, blew again, reinstalled, clipped all the Crowdsec info from config.xml, restored config, back to normal. Crowdsec is a great concept, but I think I'm out. I never had this issue with Crowdec before the ACME update, even with updating from 2.7 to 2.8 there was no issues. 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.

    @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

    Yes, this is possible.  You'll need to create two different ACLs, one for each group.  Read up on creating ACLs and you should be able to figure it out.

    @Kamel: A better/preferred solution (IMHO) would be to redirect to an internal page hosted on pfsense explaining why it was rejected just like squidguard. The issue with redirecting to 127.0.0.1 or not responding is they trick your PC into thinking it's going to get something if it goes there, so it will take a long time and then ultimately 'not respond'. This can also sometimes look like something is broken, so if you have a larger network you may get lots of "why isn't this website working" – as opposed to the user seeing and immediately understanding the reason it was blocked was due to alleged spyware and/or malware and it will remove all question. This will also aid in the troubleshooting process, as you would know immediately the reason this or that page is not functioning. Just my 2 cents, I highly support the idea though. I wonder if there are "lists" one could subscribe to like with pfblocker. BTW, sites simply being blocked with no explanation why (and system resource hogging) is why I don't use pfblocker. Another thing - if a machine is infected or could be infected if it was to visit site xyz.com say by an exploit kit exploiting a Java exploit and then dropping a unknown EXE (you will see how often things like these are recognised on virustotal.com :p) do you really care if a user sees a reason? Pfblocker perhaps I can see your point if you block a site which is in a country you have blocked (though users usually let you know pretty quick) but if you block a site on malwaredomains.com - which based on its latests updates has blocked Zeus, Blackhole Exploit Kit Domains, Russian Business Network Malvertisements, Botnets, Malicious Iframes, Mavertisements, malicious javascript and more. These are all bad - would you rather they were blocked outright and users don't get a message (they shouldn't need to connect to them unless they want some trojans on their machines so they are never going to bother you saying they couldn't connect to some work resource) or connect and receive the trojan? Blocking them by DNS blackhole reduces your workload drastically by helping to prevent infections and sending people to reimage machines due to some unrecognised trojan trying to steal data.

    This is pretty much confirmed! My ISP had me pointing at 5078 on their server… Siproxd would show bound to port 5078 on the logs, so I don't believe this to be any issue with pfSense at all. My ATA would not connect through Siproxd. Once my Voip provider switched me to point at 5060 on their server things started working as they should. It should not matter what port they connect to the ata on... If your having trouble getting siproxd to work for you, work with your provider to have your ata point at "their server:5060" ...   and see if that doesn't fix it. If your ISP is blocking port 5060, call them and bitch!

    You'd have to modify the status_nut.php file in /usr/local/www to take the array value $ups['battery.runtime'], convert it to hours/minutes/seconds format, then print it. I'm no PHP expert and I'm sure there are probably more elegant ways to do it but I just made the following changes: 1. Add a new function to the /* functions */ section at the top of the file that converts seconds to an array in hms format: function secs2hms($secs) { if ($secs<0) return false; $m = (int)($secs / 60); $s = $secs % 60; $h = (int)($m / 60); $m = $m % 60; return array($h, "h ", $m, "m ", $s, "s "); } 2.  Find the following line near the end of the file: tblrow('Runtime Remaining:', $ups['battery.runtime'], ' seconds'); …and change it to the following: tblrow('Runtime Remaining:', implode(secs2hms($ups['battery.runtime']))); The result looks something like this: [image: nut_hms.png] If anyone else has a better way to do this feel free to comment.

    Check-out the xmlreader.inc it is very fast and can guarantee fixed memory consumption if used properly. It is even faster than the parser used in pfSense and you can switch to it by a toggle. It is not used on 2.0 because there were some issue that iirc are fixed now.

    You might be able to not use sip proxy and just set an outbound NAT rule for the SIP and RTP traffic with static port = yes. If you maintain a registration you shouldn't need a rule on the WAN side. If the provider calls your IP without a registration they should provide the exact IPs that will be used and you can use that information to create more secure firewall rules. Otherwise you might be able to catch the bad traffic with SNORT, there are some SIP-related rules available.

    maybe you don't put a pass rule in your squidguard. try searching the forum for squid+squidguard config. you can also refer to this: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,40233.msg212828.html#msg212828
