    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.

    @LowKnee Just out of curiosity are you referring to the Database Sanity Check reporting that "these two counts should match" it the count is off by 1 (which I suspect is your case) there was a fix (manual code change) to change masterfile to mastercat in pfblolckerng.sh you want to change this change the line from s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${masterfile})" to s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${mastercat})" There is also an edge case if the count is greater than one, here is how that goes if in the deny directory you have say two flies (because of the list / file selection you have and they have repeat addresses file 1 has say 100 lines file 2 has say 10 lines (but those 10 lines are also in file 1, file 2 is a subset) you get two uniquely named deny files and then when the "count" is calculated on the deny directory it sees 110 entries when the "count:" is calculated on the "mastercat" file it only contains 100 entries the count doesn't match in my case the issue was caused by full list I had selected, also having an available subset lists (I had inadvertently selected one of) this causing two deny files with some of the same (overlapping data) I unselected the subset and bingo matched again, was a "my bad" selection. Edit: this applied to 25.07 (and 25.07.1) and pfblockerng 3.2.7 as it is labelled on those versions of pfSense

    @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.

    Thanks for the work you have done on the squid package.  Many people will appreciate it when when 2.0 goes RC or final. I suspect the devs will see your work here and implement the changes.  The package was maintained by databeestje, however I'm not sure if he is involved with the project anymore.

    Just watch that your 250 GB disk will have much less than that in usable space once you've installed pfSense. Check to see how much is free and then allocate less than that.  For instance if you do have more than 200 GB free and you want to allocate 200 GB you'd enter 204800 (200 * 1024) in the "Hard disk cache size" box. Squid will then manage that itself, according to how it's configured to manage that cache.

    installed today snort and having that same error: 2.0-BETA5 (amd64) built on Thu Feb 24 18:23:48 EST 2011, snort: 2.8.6.1 pkg v. 1.35. replaced the /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf by /usr/local/etc/snort_7413_pppoe0/snort.conf. But now i get tons of errors like this when starting snort via commandline: usr/local/etc/snort/snort_7413_pppoe0/rules/snort_netbios.rules(58): GID 1 SID 2349 in rule duplicates previous rule. Ignoring old rule. ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_7413_pppoe0/rules/snort_netbios.rules(72) GID 1 SID 2511 in rule duplicates previous rule, with different protocol. Fatal Error, Quitting.. Any hints? thanks

    Nothing was done. Maybe just not properly describe version PS now: pfSense 1.2.3 - SG 1.3_1 pfSense 2.0 - SG 1.4_2 And the file http://www.pfsense.org/packages/config/squidGuard/squidguard.xml contains 1.3_1 version. This is a bug in the version descriptions.

    I wish there was but it's an avaya ipoffice system and there is no way to set the wan ip in the sip headers.  Thats why I thought of using a proxy to fix the headers.

    I'm having the same problem, snort doesn't load the custom whitelist i created. My work IPs get block all the time.  I'm using the latest 2.0 BETA5 snapshot, Stable 2.8.6.1 pkg v. 1.35. I know Robert is working on a new release 2.0 so hopefully that will fix it. Since 2.0 is in beta I would rather him spend is time on the new release then fix the old one. just my thoughts Stephen

    @getut: @jimp: There are several other threads here on this forum about blocking extensions with squidguard, proper regexes to do it, etc. Some searching should turn them up. Ok.. I'll look again. I had searched and found more than I could shake a stick at but the ones I found I must have misunderstood or not read deeply enough, but they seemed to be all or none regex blocking. But I'll admit I'm coming from a Bluecoat environment though, so I am probably scanning the threads looking for something similar to how it was done there and missing things. http://diskatel.narod.ru/sgquick.htm

    spamd is there for 2.0, and it works there. If you're still running 1.2.3-RC1 and not release, you may as well run 2.0. Neither are official releases. :-)

    Odd as the default LAN rule only allows traffic on ports 80 and 22. Can your LAN computers make DNS requests outside of the network eg OpenDNS 208.67.222.222. If so your rules are wrong or in the wrong order.

    @Cino: If you know all their IP addresses or a IP range, add it to the whitelist. I do this for my work's IP range and it works like a charm. If it didn't, I wouldnt be able to OpenVPN because a block rule would be auto-created because of the portscan preprocessor. Whitelisting is a crazy thing todo if you ask me. You never know what other people got on there computers.
