    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.

    I suggest you to upgrade your firewall to current amd64 version.

    Haha OK I will test… I was being lazy.  :) @marcelloc: Disable the lan rule and test access to a blocked ip. If you have the same result on lan and floating rule, then you leave blocking rules only on floating tab.

    Thanks for that marcelloc, As the backup box has already updated automatically, I ran the command in the console.  No errors but I also did not get any output in the system logs as you normally see when an update is run automatically. I guess I need to leave the box powered off for a while to let it get out of date and test again. Cheers

    Yes, after every new update /usr/local/lib/snort/ is deleted and not re-installed.  So on every update I'm forced to upload those deleted files manually, then update manually, and after all that, manual start snort. This is very annoying.  ::) The deleted directories are: dynamicengine dynamicpreprocessor dynamicrules dynamic_preproc I never had such issues on 2.0.1 (same config).

    whitelisting your tunnel network is the easiest way. Sounds like you have an overly aggressive ruleset in place if just RDPing into a server trips something, some general Snort tuning is probably in order.

    Someone probably just needs to fix the package to make sure it: 1. Adds its user properly (though this may get automatically fixed once some pbi fixes get finished) 2. Sets its config directory explicitly, since the PBI default assumes a different place than before. It should be in /var/etc/ I'm not sure who is actively maintaining havp right now (might be dvserg) but the fixes above should be fairly easy to do.

    Thanks kindly for the suggestions. Could not locate where they were going and they just seemed to remain in the Zimbra que. So I just disabled spam checks in Zimbra and now they are going through after getting tagged/relabled as spam from MailScanner. Thank again :)

    After 20 days varnish goes belly up. Will be removing squid and squidGuard to see what difference it makes. There is no love between those three. BTW does anybody have pfBlocker, pfflowd, squid, squidGuard and Varnish installed and stable on pfs 2.0.1?

    @heper: check if your logs are located in /var/squid/log or logs (i have different boxes with different version and it seems its one or the other) other then that its possible that there is a problem with multiple perl versions. for a solution search the forum or ask the devs because i'm not going to advice you how to destroy your firewall :) My log file location is /var/squid/log. What can I do?
