    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.

    @ermal thanks for committing the code Just viewed your changes, but with your code the widget will first display all alerts from IF 0 then IF 1 and so on, I think it is more desireable to display alerts sorted by date, not by interface. Thats why I added the sorting of timestamps.

    dan104, Remove your xml from previous post, It's not safe exposing your firewall config to the world  :( I've tried to access your ip on http and https without success. try these steps: Remove the nats for your internal web servers listen reverse squid on 80 apply a firewall rule on wan allowing access from any to interface_address port 80 and port 443 check on console/ssh if squid is running and listening on ports 80/443 using netstat -an | grep -i listen test using tcpdump(on console/ssh) if you get any http/https traffic to wan_address at port 80,443

    Might need the same fixes I had to do for mtr and/or nmap. I thought I checked in a fix for the pkg system in general but I could be misremembering it, as it's been a few weeks since I did all that work.

    Correct, the interface selection control on it is wrong, it needs to only allow one. There are a couple other threads about that.

    On possibility would be to setup the proxy server address on the clients browser - no matter if squid is running ins transparent mode or not. This worked for me in the paste when I tested this. The other option could be to set the squid interface IP address as gateway for the openVPN connection in firewall rules. But I am not sure if this will work.

    Sounds like maybe you removed squid before squidguard, which could break that process. Reinstall squid, then remove squidguard, then remove squid.

    Maybe on 2.1, but on 2.0 it breaks pfsense php. Another point is that postfix gui on pfsense acts just a forwarder, so no local mailboxes. att, Marcello Coutinho

    squid2 is working without problems on pfsense 2.0.1 in transparent mode. what version of pfsense are you using ? which squid are you using ? did you select you LAN interface on squid GUI and did you select "transparent" on squid ? did you enable the firewalol to allow traffic ?

    @ermal: Please reinstall again! You need a new snort binary for the alerts to be displayed correctly. OK - since removing and reinstalling the latest snort package, the alert descriptions have returned to being N/A.  Doesn't appear 10101000's patch has been included within the latest binary unfortunately.  I suppose I can try to reapply his patch once more.  Could you please correct this blank/NA alert description functionality for Blocked IPs in the next build?  Thanks. EDIT: I attempted to apply his latest system patch and it doesn't qualify to be applied.
