    I am new to using Snort in a Netgate router with pfSense. In the Snort settings under alerts I am seeing notice like this: 2025-09-08 16:34:17 1 UDP Attempted User Privilege Gain 37.60.141.158 47167 195.252.###.### 9034 1:58853 SERVER-OTHER RealTek UDPServer command injection attempt Does this mean that someone from 37.60.141.158 tried to login to my router or is trying to log in to my router? Does SNORT block this attempt? or How do I block this attempt? There is nothing showing up in my BLOCKED list. Will snort ONLY block these IP's if I have "Block Offenders" checked? If yes, should I use legacy mode or inline mode? My understanding is that if I use legacy mode all rules will be enabled and any alerts will be automatically blocked right? If I use inline mode, then NO rules will be automatically blocked and I would have to enable the action for that rule for it to be blocked, right? If I use inline mode, how do I enable a rule? Right now I just have a yellow triangle under the action for this rule. How do I know which rules is snort using? Under WAN Categories, If I choose balance, NONE of the rulesets (Categories) shown at the bottom are checked?

    @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.

    @BiloxiGeek said in DNSBL and IPv6: Does it just follow the IPv4 address that is listed above that? In my case it would end up being ::10.0.0.86 Yes. In this specific context that's the notation being used. (Full IPv6 web server address, for reference then, would be: http://[0000:0000:0000:0000:0010:0000:0000:0086]) Nota bene: I use 0.0.0.0 which renders the DNSBL webserver useless and inaccessible, but otherwise returns 0.0.0.0 or ::/NOERROR answers to all blocked lookups.

    @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.

    @iptvcld i'm sure there's a more eloquent and effective way to find out but I've actually just googled and messaged various companies to ask them what the udp forwarding port the app uses and been moderately successful. Can't get the the printer to reliably talk across the vlans but that could be a "printers are terrible" thing

    They can't be in the release notes immediately along with the release since the issues are marked private until after the release is out, but they'll be added shortly.

    @ahking19 I chose the free version of OPNsense. I had already tested pfsense CE in the past. I had to switch to pfsense+ because the CE version was not compatible with my equipment. I didn't want to waste time on that. And in principle, I do not accept the fact that Pfsense+ became chargeable for home use, even though it was announced to be free. the price is excessively expensive…

    Why don't you just disable that rule instead? It is an ET Policy rule. Those are usually used just for notification or to enforce some corporate policy. You've discovered that it is falsely triggering in your network due to the VPN traffic (a false positive), so just disable it. Click the red X under the GID:SID column in the ALERTS tab.

    @bmeeks : Ok. So I disabled and unassigned the WAN Sort interface. Then copied it back to the newly unused WAN interface, enabled and started it and...... IT WORKED!!! I'm getting Alerts and its generating blocks as before the upgrade! Same name as before, but apparently an internal interface mapping in Snort was still looking for the old WAN interface id. Thanks!!!

    @dennypage i think that because of the package that can be seen by pfsense and openwrt_b and esphome_dashbord in vlan_iot and openwrt_b can reflect/re-create the package to vlan_server well, there is no problem with the openvpn or firewall rules. for now i think i will just use avahi in my openwrt_b.

    Release notes for IDS/IPS package upgrades are usually posted in the IDS/IPS subforum here on the Netgate Forums. Here is a link to the Release Notes post for Snort 4.1.6_15: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/186417/new-snort-package-v4-1-6_15-update-release-notes. Since my native (and unfortunately, only) language is English, I post the release notes for both Snort and Suricata in English in the IDS/IPS sub-forum located here: https://forum.netgate.com/category/53/ids-ips.

    @mathais said in speedtest-cli ERROR: Unable to connect to servers to test latency.: @Gertjan Thank you, so you removed speedtest-cli ? I have openvpn configured on my pfsense and all my IPV4 traffic pass through the VPN . All traffic? Even video&music streaming? Why??? Do you know another tool for testing my internet speed ? Saying “internet speed” what EXACTLY You mean: uplink to ISP, between Your pfSense and certain server, between Your device(s) and certain server? Check all cables, connected speed on NIC, no collisions and errors on interfaces. 2. SWITCH ON RACK/QUICK congestion control (CC) in FreeBSD. 3. DISABLE OFFLOADING on NICs - nowadays this have no sens. 4. DISABLE POWER MANAGEMENT on motherboard (off CPU Threading, CPU power states, PCI & NICs power mgmt, etc…) 5. only now test by Speedtest Fast Librespeed iperf3 Your UPLINK (of course no any other net activity on pfSense would be). After that You have: maximum possible on certain moment from Your hardware & FreeBSD drivers; measurements from nearest and far servers (not very accurate because workload time of the day and loading of certain server); Better to automate this by Smokeping (on the pfSense device itself) OR Prometheus+Grafana on separate server (but agent on pfSense). With alerting on Pushover by API or email.
