    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). I've properly followed the instructions and the update did not report and db problems. Thank you again! drac

    @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 found a solution yesterday but yours is simpler and makes sense; While troubleshooting I had dicovered that with the Package and Freshports-update both installed, pfSense was running two services that were clashing on reboot. I can post my solution if anyone’s interested, but the simplest solution is always best. Netgate 6100, pfSense+ 25.07.1 FreeBSD15, Tailscale Package + Tailscale updated to 1.90.6_1.

    @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.

    Okay that sounds fine; it will be easier for me to test it that way anyway. Also a great add-on to firefox is called "It's All text!" It adds a little edit button to any text box on a web page and lets you "open" it in a text editor of your choice,t hen when you save the file it gets put back into the box. Helpful for editing shell scripts and such with syntax highlighting without having to work on a local file and then upload it again. It makes a great helper to filer! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/its-all-text/

    Unless the Blacklist download/apply on the Blacklist tab completes, those items won't show up. If that doesn't work, try another browser (IE is bad, use FF/Chrome).

    Have you got any mobile phones attached to your network? I only ask because I've seen this port used when people make a wireless connection and stream Video cam feeds using Geoview.

    Thanks! Fixed that. If we create certs from the GUI we need to have write ( conf_mount_rw(); ) access to HDD (nanobsd/embedded). After the files were written on the disk we change back to read-only ( conf_mount_ro(); ) So there shouldn't be a problem with that if using pfsense cert manager. If using freeradius-cert-manager there shouldn't be any big problem, too ;-) But thank you very much for your help!

    I just posted some screenshots of my SquidGuard settings on pfSense 2.0.1 on Alix. Squid and SquidGuard are working fine with the following exceptions: I don't enable access.log - I got "disk full" errors too often, there is only a little RAM disk space for /var and the log doesn't seem to be able to auto-rotate nice and quickly - once a day is too long. The Alix/nanobsd platform is never intended to be a place to record lots of data. If you want lots of logging then you would have to send output to a syslog server that really can store stuff. I can't get time-based rules to work - they work according to the time when SquidGuard starts, but don't switch on and off in real-time. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,43352.0.html

    The most secure will be apache + mod_security. Some protocol checks as well caching can be done with varnish. I have no idea about security checks on squid-reverse.

    As transparent proxy does not filter ssl, I suggest you to configure proxy.pax/WPAD on your dns and dhcp. If you really want transparent proxy you can try to create a nat rule on lan with source=any, destination=any , destination port=80 and redirect it to 127.0.0.1 at dansguardian port.

    Both. Is that possible? Yes. Varnish is designed for reverse proxy but can be configured to act as a proxy server. As well squid is designed for outbound proxy but can be configured as a reverse proxy. You may need varnish(http inbound and/or), haproxy(https inbound) and squid(outbound).

    Overall bandwidth throttling - restrict squid common bandwidth Per-host throttling - restrict squid per-user bandwidth (user can not exceed the specified value) This is not accelerating, it is the limit. "This value specifies (in kilobytes per second) " - means how many kilobytes per second the user can receive

    The file lightsquid.cfg is empty. I've tried to remove both Squid and Lightsquid and then re-install, but still get the same error. Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Thanks.
