    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.

    @marcelloc: if you do not have any service published on wan, then no need to use pfblocker for inbound restriction. Excellent point!  Thanks again!

    I don't expect this being fix until IP6v6 is fully implemented in pfSense. But wanted it to be known, that snort is ignoring IPV6 addresses and/or subnets when they are added to NETLIST and WHITELIST it seems. I'm thinking this is probably a snort issue and not pfSense since it is in the conf file looks right… Still re-searching tho..

    I am not sure if everyone is understanding your question. with squid3 package it is possible to run squid as proxy and as reverse-proxy.

    squid2 and squidguard is working stable. squid3 and squidguard is probably working stable, too but you need to first intall squidguard and after that squid3. Blocking facebook.com: Remember that squid in transparent mode is only filtering http traffic. If someone uses https://www.facebook.com this will not be filtered and so squidguard cannot block this. To filter and block https traffic your squid needs to run in non-transparent mode. Another possibility would be to create a host-alias and put facebook.com in this alias. Then pfsense will regularly check and resolve the IPs to this DNS entry. Now create a firewall rule and put this alias as destination ip and select "block" for this rule. you have to place this rule on top of all other firewall rules.

    Thanks for the info! I copied and pasted the info over the existing file (not sure if there is a better method to for this) and it appears to be working now. Tried restarting the service = worked. Tried stopping and then starting = works. I believe that did it. :) Cheers!

    Marcelloc, tried it but failed. Strange, because found that solution to in other posts. Like stated above. Only solution for me was installing the normal squid via the packages and then "upgrading" o Squid3! Do mind that I indeed did a manual install of the Perl package. Thx a lot for the support!

    Thanks for the reply. Two questions, ps aux is not returning the command line params for the avahi daemon. Is there something I'm missing? This is all I see in the ps output. avahi  58773 100.0  0.3  6112  2948  ??  RNs  24May12 15368:26.33 avahi-daemon: running [rooter.local] (avahi-daemon) Another thing I noticed is that the rooter name is not correct. In the ps output it is showing rooter.local (default for pf) but it is not what is there in the configuration. In some of the issues related to the "Invalid query packet" error they mention that the .local domain may be the cause. I'm assuming that the browse domain and deny interfaces are passed as arguments? Is it possible that these are written to a config file and it is not being read/passed correctly on service startup? I'll keep poking around, I just thought I'd put this here first. Thanks again.

    Figured it Out. Exclude domain/URL from blacklist In the squidGuard GUI (Services > Proxy Filter): Open Target categories page     Click + to add a new item     Enter a name for the category - 'myWhitelist' for example.     Add domains and/or URL's to the lists as needed. Entries should be separated by a space. The examples on the page show how entries should be formatted.     As with the Common ACL discussed previously, you may set redirect and logging options specific to this category.     Save     Open Common ACL or Groups ACL page (where you want to make an exclusion).     Click Target Rule List to expand the list of categories. The newly created category should show alphabetically in the list, above any blacklist categories. Find the MyWhiteList entry in the list and select white.     Save     Return to the General Settings tab and press Apply.

    I cannot disconnect our WAN interfaces to test this, sorry. You didn't mention whether the pfSense test links work on your repository host. Did you try those URLs? I would also ensure that error_reporting in PHP is disabled as some of the deprecation warnings for the ereg functions may cause issues with the retrieval of package information.
