    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.

    This has been brought up before, and many people find it to be a security risk.  The simple explanation is that squid/proxy happens BEFORE the firewall, and therefore there is no way to subject people behind the proxy to firewall rules.  Search this package forum and you might find some old posts on this same topic.

    A solution: We continue to use "client_netmask 255.255.255.0" and happily continue to ensure the privacy of our users in the lightsquid proxy reports. On the other hand, we are now dishing out 0.0.255.0 IPs via DHCP. This allows the squidguard proxy filter to see 255.255.subnet.anonymous-zero IPs (like 1.2.subnet.0). This is sufficient to build ACL-based proxy filter rules. The proxy reports only display "access to domain" statistics for each subnet. Everyone is happy. (For the record. And for google.)

    So it's sort of like a Multi-WAN wizard? Is this for 1.2.3 or 2.0? You'd have more luck developing for 2.0, most of the devs work there and probably wouldn't spend much time working on a 1.2.x package without some persuasion.

    Hi Guys Thank you for all the help. I did get to repair the problem by un-installing lightsquid and then snort, then re-installing snort and then lightsquid in that order. What I have found was that snort uses a later release of perl and if installed AFTER lightsquid, then lightsquid points to the later libraries. I must say, it is looking very smart!!! Kind regards Aubrey Kloppers South Africa

    Your fix on the snort package did the trick. I uninstalled/installed latest version and then attempted same save on the global settings and no more duplicate device. :-) I didnt have the issue as posted above of having to delete the duplicate again (fixing the config file again)… Mine was good to go and I tried a few times with saving settings and no problems. Thanks again for the quick fix to this issue!!!

    So it's like SNORT, in a sense.  sshguard seems to perform active blocking.

    fixed. thank you. What was weird/wierd is that HAVP did not show up with the pkg_info command, but 2 of them did when I went to remove clam. Removed those and clam and it seems to be working. thank you dvserg.
