    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.

    @BBcan177 Thank you for the kind reminder; I am so accustomed to ensuring Save Settings is checked that I didn't follow your instructions properly (thanks @tinfoilmatt for uploading and highlighting the screen shot).

    @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: I think the easiest way it(using firefox) install the package again and remove. Try this first and if it does not work go to command line and type: pkg_info You will find squid-2.xyz installed delete it and it dependencies with: pkg_delete -r squid-2.xyz But the correct way is to install and uninstall it using the GUI.

    looks like there is already a bug report for this: http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/999 I've tried to fix it on my box with no luck other then the workaround. But I dont like messing with core files anymore ;-) …. I would think its a simply fix but i'm not a php programmer.

    This can be espected as squid "engine" is not that good for dynamic/session pages. I saw it on one doc comparing squid and varnish. https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/ArchitectNotes A test I did once was configuring a varnish daemon as proxy server sending to a squid as backend. The result was some times faster then squid itself. But I'm sure that there is some config options to improve cache hit.

    I am not sure to whom you have sent money but not to me, not sure with cmb. If you send me the money for sure that will help since jamesdean is not anymore in the loop for this and not has spend time to make snort usable. Since you were willing to send money just send them to me and surely it will help get snort further forward.

    If you want to check it is ntp, you can tick the box to log to a tcpdump file packets that match alerts.  Then get the tcpdump file off the pfsense box (it's in /var/log/snort) using something like winscp, open it in wireshark and take a look.  If it is ntp, it should be marked as such.  But it is using the ntp port (udp 123).  Malicious traffic does sometimes use well-known ports though in order to evade detection.  If you google the IP address though, there is some evidence that it is an ntp server.  But the reverse DNS is li153-120.members.linode.com and checking the IP for 0.uk.pool.ntp.org does not give this IP.  However, I started incrementing the number and it is listed as one of the IPs for 2.uk.pool.ntp.org.  So it does look legitimate (unless the server has since been comprimised and not removed from DNS - I suspect unlikely).

    @cylent: so the question is: when i hit save in the proxy server settings does it restart squid? i am fairly sure it does,  you can confirm by tailing the cache.log file where you'll see the squid process starting/stoping when you save your changes via the gui. (/var/squid/logs/cache.log) -g

    @jclausen: I also got blank pages on alerts and blocked tab. I have tried to add: ini_set('memory_limit', '490M'); to snort_blocked.php and snort_alerts.php then i get this error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 319 bytes) in /usr/local/www/snort/snort_blocked.php on line 298 running: 2.0.1-RELEASE (i386) built on Mon Dec 12 18:24:17 EST 2011 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6 You need to be using x64 install, to give this a try: @marcelloc: If you are using 64 bit version and have more then 512Mb of ram, you can try to include this code to increase php memory limit. You can try what worked for me. ie. do a fresh install of Snort

    Same issue here and lowering the memory usage fixed the issue. OK, either Snort shut down when I was tinkering with my VPN or Snort restarted during an update. When I noticed it and tried to restart it I got the same error. Then I set the memory back to it's original settings it worked. I had originally been running it in AC mode and had set it to AC-STD. Now it's back to running fine in AC. I'm running 2.0.1 AMD 64 on a Dell PowerEdge server with dual Xeon 3.2 processors and 2GB of ram.

    Hi, Same problem here. Since upgrading to 2.1-DEVELOPMENT (amd64), built on Fri Mar 23 22:35:08 EDT 2012 I also need to use the "net.inet.tcp.signature_verify_input" trick, otherwise bgpd will not communicate. It never worked with password in the configuration, either TCP-MD5 key or password. Peter

    @richie: @robi: Thanks. What hardware are you running these on? old AMD 2200 with 768MB of RAM.  It uses alot of memory but seems fine.  I have memory settings as AC-STD with custom whitelist and suppression list.  The whitelist is important because there is a setting that adds VPN addresses dynamically to the list. I just switched to AC-BNFA.  It's the default setting I should have used to begin with because memory consumption was up with AC-STD.  Now it went way down and it starts up much faster.  I read somewhere until initiation is complete Snort is not protecting you and that the end results of the different memory settings yield the same protection.  I'm also considering removing the Shellcode rules because I getting some false positives from certain websites.  In the meantime, I'm placing the ip's in the whitelist that I created earlier.
