    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.

    @mschiek01: I brought this up to them yesterday.  They indicated that the ph ruleset no longer applies as it rolled into the other ruleset.  The snort package will be updated to remove this link. thanks mschiek01! I haven't updated my ruleset in 3 days since its been stable for me.. Guess when I do another re-install or a rule update, it will be missing

    Problem is solved. We installed an Apache Server on HAVP and send the blocking information via the external block page function to this. You can transfer blocking information via the informations e.g. #        %a=client_address #        %n=client_name #        %i=client_user #        %s=client_group #        %t=target_group #        %u=client_url"

    Thank you for your direction! I have successfully set up the proxy but now I can only access http traffic and after 3 hours of searching for an answer and reading several posts my mind is locking up again. Why can I hit http traffic but when I try gmail it locks up I have a lan rule that will allow access to 443 that is set by the auto config and i have tried to set a separate rule which will pass requests from pfsense on port 3128 to wan address on port 443 and I have tried to just set up any lan traffic to port 443 and I still cant access gmail when I am using the proxy. Any Ideas? Modification - I can be a bonehead sometimes, I didn't set firefox to use the same proxy settings. All is working, now I will need to figure out WPAD served from another internal server! Thank you for your help.

    This package does work now..however I could not stop the service.  It says it's stopped, but blocking continues.  You can stop the interfaces, but not the service via the dashboard. To add SNORT HTTP_inspect suppression, (which ends up blocking pfsense.org if not added) I had to reboot the server.  However, because pfsense.org was blocked, I ended up having the SQUID update fail partway through.  On reboot…the PFSENSE install was damaged, so could shell in, but routing was broken.  Ack. Therefore fresh reinstall required....just a heads up!  :-)

    Varnish needs a probe url on the site it will forward traffic to. This way, find a way to test with http.

    this only works for one user particularly squid, i did this setup and it works flawlessly but when im using another account it doesnt work @hugleo: First I had to edit the file: /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc and add the -R parameter to the line: original: $conf .= "auth_param basic program /usr/local/libexec/squid/squid_ldap_auth -v {$settings['ldap_version']} -b {$settings['ldap_basedomain']} -D {$settings['ldap_user']} $password -f "{$settings['ldap_filter']}" -u {$settings['ldap_userattribute']} -P {$settings['auth_server']}$port\n"; edited: $conf .= "auth_param basic program /usr/local/libexec/squid/squid_ldap_auth -R -v {$settings['ldap_version']} -b {$settings['ldap_basedomain']} -D {$settings['ldap_user']} $password -f "{$settings['ldap_filter']}" -u {$settings['ldap_userattribute']} -P {$settings['auth_server']}$port\n"; Next follow up my pfsense configuration and observations: Authentication method: LDAP LDAP version: 3 Authentication server: 192.168.1.1 Authentication server port: 389 LDAP server user DN: "cn=squid squid,cn=users,dc=mydomain,dc=com" (I'd need to use double quoted. I've created a squid user on my active directory server. On active directory I've used squid word for name, surname and user login) LDAP password: my_squid_user_password LDAP base domain: dc=mydomain,dc=com (I've no need to use double quotes) LDAP username DN attribute: (I left blank) LDAP search filter: sAMAccountName=squid I hope this experience helps someone!

    It was rule not nat. I don't belive nat allows wan ip address in rules. It works great and it had cutdown on spam. I am running it on x550e and var is in ram. Is there a way to incerease size of var or postfix would benefit from its own ram drive. It seems that when var fills up and /var/spool/postix is smaller than assigned email size postfix will not relay messages. I had to decrease email size from 30 mb to 20 mb. So if var fillsup with logs and stuff postfix stops working.
