    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.

    I turned off pFBlocker and hit RUN on Update. You what? Like BBCan177 said: unchecked pBlocker, hit save. Force update (so click on Update and click the RUN button on the screen).

    @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.

    @OldChap: Probably a good thing that I installed 2.0.1 then. Thanks for saving me from some pain  ;D pfsense 2.1 is still in development. So no need to upgrade to 2.1 at the moment - if you do not have time to search for bugs and errors ;)

    Ok, thank you for the clarification.  What if I mounted a USB flash drive on my ALIX board (it has a couple USB ports).  Could I run HAVP from that type of storage?

    @jimp: Nearly out of space? On what size? 512MB cf? 1gb. pfHacom box. It is problematic now because on reboot I'm getting a lot of BTX halted error messages. It's hit-and-miss whether the router restarts or not.

    Snort also broke my pfSense GUI today.  :( Had to reinstall from scratch and then restore from a config that I had.  Even the 'factory restore' option didn't help. -th3r3isnospoon

    I was using the usb to serial adapter as it wasn't refreshing the data and it was displaying "data stale" but then went back to serial. However… The commited changes from USB to Serial took place but they weren't transfered to the update and defaulted back into "auto" mode

    I dont know why this caused the issue but i have found to solution for now. Maybe something changed with the update its something i will have to look through to figure out. Solution: Disable IPv6 Disable IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel Maybe the address changed for the tunnel and it was trying to use IPv6 to access the server from my firewall.  Maybe someone more knowledgeable knows why.  Anyways its fixed. Thanks for all the help

    I do not see any errors in the cache logn the or squid.conf. I think it has to do with the default site with the https protocol. When i put there the second url in it, that url works too but not the first. But if you think apche+mod_security will work better? I will wait when you finished it and will test it. Let me now when your finished it. Regards.

    Thanks for your replie, Nachtfalke. But It doesn'work. If I set any page permission to a user, or just one permission (i.e. Dashboard only), also freeradius  page is denied. No luck. Captive portal + Freeradius unusable for my needings. Sorry but, in my opinion, pfSense is then a bad choice for hot-spot management. I think I will setup an external server with freeradius + daloradius + mysql to let a user manage only captive portal pass and not the whole administration of the gateway. Any chance to install daloradius + mysqlserver on pfsense? Thanks g

    I went back to enable the snort p2p rules and deactivated the ET rules. This time the interface did not crash when running a p2p client, but as already described somewhere else, there were bogus alert messages like (http_inspect) HTTP RESPONSE GZIP DECOMPRESSION FAILED - Unknown Traffic (http_inspect) SIMPLE REQUEST - Unknown Traffic for both interfaces I installed (WAN and LAN side). Things are working in a way but something seems to be scrambled.

    2.2.4 version corrects upgrade and cleans it up to be more easy to manage. Please open a different thread for the ioctl.

    @ermal: I think that time is a factor here with your snort.sh. A service like snort needs its time to prepare itself for releasing and allocating new resources from a HUP so you have to take that into consideration. Furthermore i would be expecting a system log associated with that. How much time?  will that result in the memory usage dropping back down closer to it's original levels?
