    Hello team, I have a Netgate 8200 running 24.11-RELEASE (amd64) with Suricata 7.0.8_5 package installed. Suricata doesn't seem to start. It loops to red once I press the Play button on the interface. It leaves no logs in the System logs, it leaves no logs in suricata.log at /var/log/suricata/suricata_ovpns933787/suricata.log I tried launching it manually: # /usr/local/bin/suricata -V or # /usr/local/bin/suricata -c /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_33787_ovpns9/suricata.yaml -i suricata_ovpns933787 and I get this output ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/suricata: Undefined symbol "__strlcpy_chk@FBSD_1.8" Thanks in advance, Dara

    @kabeda If memory serves, that old version of ntopng did not run as user ntopng, but as user nobody. There are lots of problems in that old version. Anyway, check the ownership and permissions of /var/db/ntopng and make sure it matches the user that ntopng runs as. You may need to set ownership of the entire hierarchy. Example: /usr/sbin/chown -R nobody:nobody /var/db/ntopng However, the better choice would be to upgrade to a more recent version.

    @agitelzon I have no issue connecting to LE servers from pf shell. The issue is cloudflare security setting is configured as a whitelist for api zone record changes. The whitelist includes my ipv4 address only, as a /32. As I mentioned, I could add the ipv6 prefix as a /64. Given that pf is configured to prefer ipv4, I thought that would carry over to acme as well.

    @lbm_ I have the same problem: pfSense v25.07.1 on FreeBSD 15-Current, Netgate 6100. Could you let me know if you found a solution? I haven't. I have been updating Tailscales from Freshports while keeping the Tailscale Package installed. I have recently read that this can cause problems with routes, interfaces, firewall rules, and others. I am leaning towards deleting the Tailscale package.

    @tinfoilmatt Thanks! I have done that and it worked when forcing just her TV out the Centurylink.. My problem is my local box here. Im missing something because I can not get it to pass traffic from the WAN to the Wireguard tunnel. Ive got some time today so will chip away on my lab setup to see if I can finally accomplish it here first.

    Finally getting back to the original post, I think this is what's causing the issue: kernel: pid 31475 (snort), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space As a test, I disabled updates.  As expected, snort ran fine until I did a manual update.  The error above was what showed up after running the update.  Restarting snort by hand brought success. Is the swap space error helpful?  I do not have a swap partition on my install, as I have significant excess RAM.

    Well, I tried the "custom.rules" feature. It really does what it's supposed to do, changes on that rules are saved in the config.xml file and are recreated during the rule update. Just, it's quite slow when you save the rules, I don't know what actions are made on that post, but anyway to apply the changes I need to restart-snort manually. Ciao, Michele

    I don't know how to do that (where would I enter that command and what is SysV?). But what I did was uninstall, reboot, reinstall. Still error persists.

    it should, yes, make a new interface, a proxy vm, and a vswitch to connect them (on their own subnet) and then you should be able to make that work.

    @kevross33: Use unified2 and barnyard in Snort package to write it off to an external database and use snorby (snorby.org) to email you reports. I tried this, but I could never get anything to populate in Snorby. I'll research it again. You wouldn't happen to know of a good how-to on the web would you?

    Oh thank you ever so much for that, probably me being lazy as per usual to actually go back in and keep re-enabling it (or usually when I forget to check if its running) ;D Thank you ever so much and I will give that a whirl!

    I'm having issues with the HTTPS reverse proxy as well, however the HTTP reverse proxy works fine. Currently I'm getting a squid error page saying Access Denied. Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Also I believe I found a bug in the HTTPS reverse proxy settings, you need to manually put in the listen port 443. By default it listens on 80 even though it says 443, just manually put it in there.

    Maybe blacklist too long, more that '/tmp' size The black list was the "shallalist", where 300 MB should still be plenty. Explicitly executing squidGuard_blacklist_update.sh from the tmp dir does not give any error message.

    Finally i managed to get it work BUT when there is a redirection to error page (e.g. for a denied host) the system tries to redirect to parent interface IP address…Furthermore, ont only this but it tries to redirect to the old IP address of parent interface (I have changed it..). Does anyone have any idea?

    Hi marcelloc, Sorry for the delay replying - I had never used/installed sarg before so wanted to play with it a bit before commenting.  SARG worked fine as it happens.  I got the realtime reports straight away.  After playing with it a bit I got the scheduled reports too.  I can see plenty of output in /usr/local/sarg-reports.  I'm not 100% sure I understand all the SARG options on the GUI, but I'm sure if I played with it a bit I would get used to it. I "could" switch over to using SARG, but if it's possible I'd like to continue using lightsquid.  Does the fact that SARG works tell me anything (other than the fact the SQUID is logging away correctly and that SARG is an option for me now!)??

    There isn't a way to install them manually over SSH. You could clone the package repo and setup your own local copy (check the doc wiki) and install them from a local server instead.
