    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.

    @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 found that disabling the 'snort_web-client.rules' #15306 (WEB-CLIENT Portable Executable binary file transfer) worked for me.  Cleared out the blocked and all seems to be working again. Suspect there's another little gremlin in there as well.  Hell of an 'all-inclusive' rule to break Windows Updates  ::)

    What you did should suffice, however I have noticed that imspector only works when it wants… any chance to fix this by the package creator? My install only captures one out of every many IM conversations via MSN...

    for troubleshooting issues with squid, looking at the output from squid using the squid manager info screen to be invaluable.  From the command line you can do something like: #squidclient -p 3127 mgr:info This will show you, among many other tasty squid-related treats, the various amount of time different parts of the squid request took.  If you find DNS resolution taking an obscene amount of time, then your troubleshooting task is already mostly done.

    Those didn't really help.  It turns out that the problem was my browser.  It never completely shut down and therefore was taking up a ton of memory and being unresponsive.

    I'm assuming that you're doing transparent filtering using squid+squidguard.  If this is the case, you're quite limited in your ability to filter.  You can create an alternative filter set with a group of allowed sites you want and allow those before blocking the rest.  Or, if you need to only allow those sites to a handful of users, you'll want to consider using authenticated filtering instead of transparent since then you can filter by user or user group.  It is also possible to filter by requesting IP, so it really depends on your requirements how to attack this problem.  Spend some quality time with the squidGuard documentation and I'm sure you'll find the solution that best fits your scenario.

    There are some small bugs with rate that have been fixed here and there on 2.0. I'm not sure if that was one of them, but if rate is that important, you might give 2.0 a spin and see if it's been resolved there.

    Thank you for quick help. It was very easy: 1. find config.xml file in /conf folder. 2. remove all squid entries in it. 3. reboot system.

    I did a fresh install of pfSense-1.2.3. Try to Install Snort-2.8.6.1. interface just shows "Installing perl-threaded for x86… Please wait Installing..." I can configure snort just by URL. Snort is running and logs alerts and attempts to systemlog. Only snort isn't in the services-sevtion nor in submenu as snort neither in "installed packages". According to browserwindows snort has version 2.8.6.1 v1.34 but i downloaded version 1.35 from packageslist. something is really broken here! A fix please. hardware; PIII600, Intel440BX-chipset, 512MB sdram, 512MB compactflash Transcend UDMA with IDE2CF-convertor, 3x 3Com ? (xl-drivers).
