    Request for Continued Support of Squid Package Dear Netgate Team, Could we please continue to support the Squid package? The upstream project has already resolved the known security issues, and it appears the main task remaining is updating the package to accommodate the recent PHP changes affecting the status page and address the decode issue. I’m unsure how to address this on my end and would greatly appreciate any guidance. Has anyone else looked into this, or is there a fix currently in progress? Thank you for your time and support.

    @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.

    @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.

    @tinfoilmatt said in Failed or invalid Mime Type: [application/SIMH-tape-data|0]: (ASN data is IPinfo, not Maxmind) Thats correct but "GeoLite2-Country" is from Maxmind ... (that confused me) I'm considering simply adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list to test. Thats what i tought too ... I'll try when I have the time for it ... Edit: I can confirm - adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list at line 257 in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc did the trick - no more error! Edit: OK, problem resolved but I would like to know, whats the cause for that error! (SIMH-tape-data sounds like a "blast from the past" ...) Thanks a lot!

    @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.

    Buypass is shutting down their free ACME service: https://community.buypass.com/t/y4y130p Not sure how many (if any) users may be getting their ACME certificates from Buypass, but it is supported in the package, so that number may be non-zero. If you are getting your certificates from Buypass, now is the time to switch to another CA.

    I have Wireguard installed on my firewalls. I have about 12 firewalls and most of them connect back to the main firewall which allows the connection to the servers in the main building. I setup a tunnel on each and then added each location as a peer on the Main firewall. This seemed to work except that the gateway. unde3r Monitor IP it only allows one IP address. So the first one works and shows connected fine, but the other 2 are red and do not connect. Everything seems to work until I added a 3rd peer and then the 1st peer showed as if it was offline even though it looked fine and I was able to connect to devices on that network. Am I supposed to add multiple gateways to the Main firewall so that shows as up? Is this the right way for the tunnels between the buildings which need access will work - By adding a tunnel at that location and just adding a peer to the main location?

    That made no difference which suggests it's not an ESXi issue. Is there a driver needed for this to work? :'( Edit: Got a bit further. After a reinstall of pfSense and restore of settings from backup, I can now get the LCDProc service started on CUA0! However the display is stuck with the Matrix Orbital banner. Checking the Log shows the below issues; Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd LCDd version 0.5.7 starting Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd Using Configuration File: /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd Listening for queries on 127.0.0.1:13666 Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd MtxOrb: unable to read device type Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd MtxOrb: unable to read device firmware revision Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd MtxOrb: unable to read device serial number Jul 3 22:55:17 php lcdproc: Start client procedure.

    Hi friends. I just want to ask if its possible some way to add the redis server to the watchdog list.  Because i have installed the ntopng package and redis server keep stop it alone.  In the watchdog i config ntopng but when redis its down the ntopng doesn start. Thanks –---------- EDIT:  At the momenti did it with a script and crontab  checking the redis pid,  also the directory /var/run/redis/redis.pid  doesnt exists so maybe that was making errors.
  • Named (bind) service is started when disabled

    I believe this is still happening. I installed but eventually disabled BIND and re-enabled the builtin DNS Resolver service. After a reboot, I see both unbound and named running and it appears that BIND and not DNS Resolver is answering DNS queries. Enabling and disabling the "Enable BIND DNS server." checkbox (and applying settings in-between) results in named being killed and DNS queries once again being answered as expected by the DNS Resolver. This is a nearly fresh installation of pfSense 2.3.4-RELEASE and BIND 9.11_7, so I doubt there's anything unusual about my installation aside from having installed BIND, enabled it (and disabled DNS Resolver), disabled it again (and then reenabled DNS Resolver) and finally rebooted in this configuration. It appears that BIND simply launches unconditionally at boot regardless of whether it's actually enabled.

    Hello FMERTZ Thanks much for the tips. I just used the command line:  LCDd -f -r 5 -s 0    and it showed me the problem…. It seems the FREEBSD is not recognizing my USB display at the plugged port. Anyway, now I finally know what is going on here. It seems I have something wrong with my USB ports. Checking now... By the way, I have started it (for tests) using a regular COM port and the service finally started. Up and running. Thanks Much! Appreciate it! Fabricio Guzzy

    Looks like your filesystem is corrupted, at least the password/user database files. Backup the config, reinstall with a current version, then restore and try again. If you're running from SD card, replace the SD card while you're at it. Those don't last forever. If it's an mSATA then you probably just need to reinstall.

    Hi, The way I managed to get it working reliably was to turn off the IGMP snooping on my managed switch, then the timing out issue went away, but to prevent the multicast flooding my network I put the Youview box onto a separate VLAN and it all worked a treat. Since then I've got the Netgate SG-1000 but had to enable the switch's snooping again to work on that for to work?????

    Hello Everyone, I just got an LCD 16x2 Display (MATRIX compatible)… (It´s working fine on Windows using MATRIX Drive with LCD Smartie) The problem is that the LCDPROC service doesn't start when using MATRIX driver option. (see image) - Also doesn't start with some of the available options.  Am I missing something? Any tip to resolve the problem? Thanks Much Fabricio.

    Snort is for IDS/IPS. Yeah I've checked all those threads and none offer working solutions. When I say the "snort interfaces will shut down", I don't mean the actual true LAN/WAN interfaces on pfSense. In Snort, you set up which interfaces you want to monitor with Snort, and those are your "snort interfaces". I agree that after the auto update runs, it would want to recycle the "snort interfaces". It shuts them down alright. They don't come back up without manual intervention.

    Thanks.  The device parameter you provided was the only thing I was missing.  APC status is now populated and appears to have the correct information.  What I find odd, is that even after rebooting my system last night /dev/cuau0 still does not show in dmesg.  I tried probing the hardware a few other way also and still could never find reference to the APC unit being connected.

    Hello Stephenw10 Thanks much for the message. I will check it, although the service can't start, not with that config. Anyway, I am also trying to use parallel port configuration since it doesnt' need any interface in between. (I have another display hd44780 compatible with no USB interface) Will post the results here after all. Thanks Fabricio.
