    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @Gertjan Thanks for your reply – that’s also my impression. The point is: I don’t really see any lists right now that are actually “maintained” in the sense of being actively cleaned up, checked for dead domains, categorized, etc. That’s why my main interest is more about the demand: Would curated lists really be a game changer for admins? Would they be more helpful than what’s available today, or are most people already using other alternatives? If so, which ones? And from your perspective, what would be your expectation towards “community lists”? (e.g. reliability, update frequency, categories, fewer false positives?)

    @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.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    @HFADmin If it is no Site2Site-VPN then you don't need any gateways in the first place... If that is true but you want to monitor the connection then you could create dummy-gateways just to ping the remote ip-addresses.

    Coming back to the reply of "Perry" Also i can confirm the problem http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2342 Collected the data and as fare what i can see it is a http 1.0 / http 1.1 problem (Attach doc's) Is the http 1.0 / http 1.1 problem caused by the server or by SQUID or by PFSense I have to apologize but I am not a network specialist and do use SQUID somehow as "blackbox" regards Günther

    What are you wanting to do with FreeRADIUS? Are you trying to do something with the pfSense captive portal, or are you wanting to use it for wireless network authentication? There's many ways to configure FreeRADIUS - but only you know what you want to do. I don't use FreeRADIUS on pfSense, but I do maintain the FreeRADIUS packages for FreeBSD (which, amongst other things, underpins FreeRADIUS on pfSense) and I use FreeRADIUS on one of my FreeBSD servers. When I get the time, I will try to set up the pfSense FreeRADIUS package to see what it can do - but I have so many things to be getting on with at present.

    Well, I've got pfSense bridging the WAN to the DMZ whilst NATting the Private LAN. So far so good. I'm trying to get Snort working now. I must say that pfSense is an excellent firewall; it is remarkably flexible and has a vast range of configuration options. Well done!!

    I had the same problem, and I've just been running without those rules. I'm guessing that this rule is responsible: 223 udp $EXTERNAL_NET any $HOME_NET [31335,35555] DDOS Trin00 Daemon to Master PONG message detected Edit: I disabled that rule, and it starts up fine. I guess the syntax on the port specification is incorrect.

    @wompy: Actually that link does have everything you need. Destinations is where your blacklist/whitelist additions will be. Once you save them then they will be added to the database. under default and ACL you will see the uptime destinations check boxes. Thats where you will specify to allow, or deny access. save and then apply on the general settings tab. +1 If you select Dest-rule and not checking deny - this is mean whitelist, and such rules will placed before block(deny) rules (exclude 'all' rule - this rule always last) .

    Rather than downgrading, you can look the other way to see if that will help. pfSense 1.2.1 should be here by the end of the month, and will be based on FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE (rather than the 6.2-RELEASE used in 1.2). Click here for the development snapshots. The ISO works fine on my Dell Poweredge R200, which, being ICH9 based, will not work with FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. However, it's not advised to use this in production.

We will wh. the next release, might V1.2.1 will solve this issue....??? Rergards

    This how I did it. install package squid and squidguard and go to console menu and press 8 to exit console menu. chown of /var/squid and /var/squidGuard to proxy:proxy    (ex. chown -R proxy:proxy /var/squid) create /download  directory cd /download pkg_add -r http://62.4.17.14/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/All/wget-1.10.2.tbz /usr/local/bin/wget http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz    ( at least you can see download progress using this way) click to Service>Proxy Content>General Setting in Blacklist URL = /download/shallalist.tar.gz see squidguard1.JPG click save button click Upload URL button click save button (just to make sure) although it says "SquidGuard service state: STARTED" just click apply button GOTO Default tab Follow my example using squidguard2.JPG and squidguard3.JPG or customize as you like but leave Default access [all] click save go to ACL tab and create new ACL (click the + button) for "Source IP Address" put your network address/Masks bit (not ip address) example squidguard4.JPG for "Destination" –--> customize as you like but leave Default access [all] and click save when finish. (squidguard5.JPG) go to General Stting tab and click apply button to restart squid (and squidGuard too) Note: Make sure in Service>Proxy server>Access Control –-->    the allow subnet is/are the same with (17)  (subnet = network address/Masks bit) The End BTW it took me about 3 to 4 months to figure this out by looking here and there in the forum.  :) [image: squidguard1.JPG] [image: squidguard1.JPG_thumb] [image: squidguard2.JPG] [image: squidguard2.JPG_thumb] [image: squidguard3.JPG] [image: squidguard3.JPG_thumb] [image: squidguard4.JPG] [image: squidguard4.JPG_thumb] [image: squidguard5.JPG] [image: squidguard5.JPG_thumb]

    Well, looks like it was something at the ISP side of things.  According to a tech rep, the IP assigned to our WAN interface was conflicting with someone else's subnet. They didn't elaborate.  The traceroute with the third hop stuttering isn't fixed but at least now I can get to the packages.
