    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.

    @Draco try to goto the General Tab, first ensure that the Keep Settings option is checked. Then unchecked Enable pfBlockerNG so that its disabled. Hit save. Force Update. Then reenable pfBlockerNG and Force update.

    @GPz1100 I ran into this same exact issue. I don't have the Prefer IPv4 over IPv6 box checked, but I do have IPv6 enabled. I think the real issue is that Let's Encrypt's server seems to respond with "Recv failure: Connection reset by peer" on almost every request when using IPv6. I tested this by using the command curl -v https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory from pfsense's shell. To work around it, I modified the ACME script as you described. In the file /usr/local/pkg/acme/acme.sh, I updated line 1887 from: _ACME_CURL="curl --silent --dump-header $HTTP_HEADER " to: _ACME_CURL="curl -4 --silent --dump-header $HTTP_HEADER " After forcing curl to use IPv4, both certificate registration and renewal from the acme package started working again without issue.

    @elvisimprsntr Updated 25.07.1 to 1.90.6_1, copied and pasted from @elvisimprsntr's post: pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.90.6_1.pkg (Why it worked this time and not on previous updates: Over the last couple of days, I ran into the "Shared object "libutil.so.10, not found..." error that triggered the version 25.07.1 update issues some of us have been having. After I fixed that error, I decided to go back to the usual update method, and it worked.)

    @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 think its isolated to denyhosts it self. I would bet there may be something available on the denyhosts forums. Sorry I don't have an answer but its not the denyhosts package that is causing this.

    I've been using the CIDR notation, even tried with & without, seems to basically just ignore what I put in the whitelist. I'm going to try to edit the Threshold file to ignore my IP: suppress gen_id 0, sig_id 0, track by_src, ip {my_ip} I'll post my results EDIT: Checked the logs today, looks like that made the difference.  I can turn back on my blocking now!

    Yep I lost my settings when I upgraded, too. It was no biggie tho because I had installed the Notes package and documented the SNORT config there.  Really tho the only thing worth documenting is the SNORT code. Speaking for myself, LOVE the new SNORT GUI enhancements…a positive step in the right direction, to be sure. Pretty sure I tossed JamesDean some $$ for his efforts...

    SquidGuard won't block spam.  For that you'll need something like a mail server with SpamAssassin. As for hardware spec - take a look at the recommended hardware list found from the front page of the pfSense main site.  What you'll require will depend entirely on your situation, which you've said nothing about.  Key points will include: Peak bandwidth (upload and download) Peak packets per second (upload and download) Number of users Type of typical web browsing activity Peak email rate Peak email size A little bit of searching in the hardware forum will show you a few dozens of threads on the subject.

    Not in 1.2.3 Aliases are part of the pf package and are not read by Squid.  Also, squid and its redirects occur BEFORE the firewall rules are applied.
