    @andrew_cb Thank you very much for this, I just tried your proposed solution and it did work! That was driving me crasy! Way simpler than deleting the haproxy_server_state file.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    I finally got around installing a new pfsense firewall and the first connections I am seeing right of the bat are lets say strange. I don't know what they are: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/ip/178.250.1.11 https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/178.250.1.11 https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/178.250.1.11/community https://viz.greynoise.io/ip/178.250.1.11 Aug 10 11:07:09 WAN Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 178.250.1.11:443 192.168.178.21:18414 TCP:PA Its incoming from WAN trying to get to the firewall. Very mixed results here. Never heard of criteo and it is flagged by some people despite being whitelisted on otx alienvault. I remember seeing the same the first time I installed pfsense on my other machine I think. Any idea what it could be? I also did a packetcapture and there are losts of ACKed Unseen segments. Does this indicate anything?

    @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.

    @EChondo What's your pfSense version ? The instructions are shown here : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png] A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate. @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy: I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess. No need to wait x days. You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    @totalimpact Tailscale 1.54.0 is 2+ years out of date. Tailscale has made quite a number of changes since Tailscale 1.54.0, likely rendering it incompatible with their servers. I would consider manually updating the Tailscale FreeBSD package. FreshPorts does not maintain an archive of all the releases, only the latest compiled by the volunteer maintainers. The key to manually upgrading is knowing which FreeBSD version your pfSense release is running, i.e. 14 or 15. You can following along here.

    SOLVED. Turns out nothing wrong with my tunnel setup and not due to CGNAT. The reason PING works and other traffic doesn't is due to packet size and MTU. Something on the wireless network means that the default MTU doesn't work, forcing a smaller MTU to 1280 on pfSenseB fixed this. This Reddit thread has more details of this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/WireGuard/comments/qmsa2n/ping_works_but_sites_arent_loading/

    Doesn't matter if you're on -p2 or -p3 the stunnel package is the same. You should be on -p3. The problem in this thread has been solved. If you have a new problem, upgrade to the most current release and package version and post the details of your problem in a new thread.

    This is not all that uncommon. The Snort portscan preprocessor is very "trigger happy" ... . Go to the PREPROCESSORS tab for the impacted Snort interface and set the Sensitivity drop-down selector to Low. Save the change and restart Snort on the interface. That should help. If the Sensitivity setting is already Low, then you will probably have to disable that particular rule. Click the red X under the SID column on the ALERTS tab to disable it.

    Look in the firewall's system log around the time you suspect Suricata crashed. Odds are you will find a Signal 10 Bus Error. This is the result of an unaligned access to memory. It is a problem in Snort, Suricata and clamAV as a minimum on ARM hardware such as the SG-3100. I've tried a fix for Snort and Suricata. The Suricata fix was successful for a time, but not anymore. The issue is complicated to explain, but if you Google "unaligned memory access" you will find some info on what that is. This is only a problem on ARM hardware. Intel CPUs are immune as they will "auto-fixup" instructions that attempt unaligned access. I looked into this in some detail and found that the main problem in FreeBSD is with the llvm compiler used to create armv6/armv7 binary code. That compiler chooses at times to use an ARM instruction pair that does not support unaligned access. The compiler could choose to use a different pair of instructions to accomplish the same thing, and that different pair will support unaligned access via "auto-fixup" just like Intel CPUs. While it is technically true the issue lies within the C programming code of the binary packages that are failing on ARM hardware, the practical implication is that since the code works on Intel hardware without issue -- and because the ARM hardware base is very small -- the upstream projects for Snort, Suricata, clamAV and others have no great desire to invest the energy and effort required to find the bugs in the C code and fix them. I worked with the pfSense team and we turned off compiler optimizations for these packages. It worked initially for Suricata, but now some change has crept into the upstream project and that change is causing unaligned access issues again on ARM hardware. The problem will appear as a random bug because it takes a particular sequence of data and the resulting program code flow while processing that data to hit the instruction that attempts the unaligned memory access. When the unaligned access occurs, that triggers a CPU hardware interrupt fault and the OS shuts down the application (and logs the Signal 10 bus error).

    On further thought, I think I understand why it won't work... Openvpn is connected to the wan and traffic from openvpn unless going to the lan, like dns, isn't going through the lan interface. So it is technically monitoring the data correctly for the interface it just isn't able to do what I want it to do.

    No. pfSense is a firewall, not a development platform. Compile the code on a similar FreeBSD system and then copy the binaries to the firewall.
