    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.

    @vicking said in No blocks on IP: Is it a bad idea to have the action set to deny both instead of inbound only? Question is squarely for admin. Per the infoblock which explains, in part, the "Deny Inbound", "Deny Outbound", and "Deny Both" actions: 'Deny' Rules: 'Deny' rules create high priority 'block' or 'reject' rules on the stated interfaces. They don't change the 'pass' rules on other interfaces. Typical uses of 'Deny' rules are: Deny Both - blocks all traffic in both directions, if the source or destination IP is in the block list Deny Inbound/Deny Outbound - blocks all traffic in one direction unless it is part of a session started by traffic sent in the other direction. Does not affect traffic in the other direction. One way 'Deny' rules can be used to selectively block unsolicited incoming (new session) packets in one direction, while still allowing deliberate outgoing sessions to be created in the other direction. In other words: When set to "Deny Inbound", incoming connection requests from WAN hosts are blocked and therefore no state will be created. However a LAN host can still establish state to an otherwise listed IP. If set to "Deny Outbound", outgoing connection requests from LAN hosts are blocked and therefore no state will be created. However an incoming connection request from an otherwise listed IP to an 'open' WAN port can still establish state. If set to "Deny Both", both incoming connection requests and outbound connections requests are blocked and therefore no state will be created regardless of connection direction.

    I am using the DNS-Update method I have to use a DNS-Sleep of 5 minutes to let the letsencrypt txt dns record update propagate. During this 5 minutes the acme-webgui times out. when the acme-webgui times out the Action list is NOT executed. How can I solve this ? Would it maybe be an idea to let the acme.sh script execute the actions in the action list as a post-hook instead of the web-gui? Or maybe add an option to add post-hooks in the webUI ?

    @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.)

    Im trying to set up Fubo TV for my mother using AT&T Wireless.. problem is they keep showing her California news channels... She wants local. Even though the website asks for her zip code they seem to default to the IP location. I have tried several times to sit down with this but can never get the thing to even ping from the other side. Connected with Wireguard here successfully for helping troubleshoot things for her otherwise.. Fubo is a PITA and keeps reverting back so I am finished trying to deal with them. Anyone got any tips? or a good tutorial??

    Please be patient. I have added code to snort-dev to parse snort fast and full logs. The parsing was not easy. I will add said code to the snort widget when I have time. James

    Reinstalled on a test Box, same issues. On this new test box… I've checked the RRD for CPU and Net Util, nothing over 25% actually most are at a steady 1% I've done "pfctl -t snort2c -T show" at the command line There is nothing showing up at all. Just drops back to the command line with nothing. There are no logs either....but the Snort Daemon is running if I Grep it. And it shows up in TOP...however in a WAIT state. Under top there are no zombie processes....so nothing seems to have hung/croaked/or died. I have snort working fine at our branch sites, it is the core site that only experiences this issue. I thought it might be hardware related, so I removed snort from the actual COREs and made a LAB (well other than IP Pools and petc.) similar as the CORE, just isolated from the production network...I get the same issues....and they are running on same hardware, so I changed to other hardware....still same problem. It seems to only be the CORE that SNORT will not work on, it blocks all traffic in or out, unless the hardware is rebooted...or Snort is removed completely. Odd thing is the hardware at the branch sites is the EXACT same as the COREs, the only differance is that the Branch Sites had one ISP connection, and the COREs (the cores are 2 separate boxes- Firewall01 and Firewall02) have each has a diverse ISP connection to each PF box and one connection each to a separate CORE switch, the two switches are interconnected with MLT/STP via two cross-over cables. All Branch sites have two site to site VPNs (OpenVPNs) to each CORE (One to 01 and one two 02). The CORE LAN is one /24 network. Each Branch LAN is also a different /24. BGP is enabled on all of them. Each PF box is it's own AS. When the COREs go "down" the VPNs still work....just all other WAN traffic stops. I can ping anything on the CORE LAN or out to any of the Branch LANS, BUT I am not able to ping google...or any thing out side of the CORE LAN, other than other side of the VPNs. If I go to another location (say a coffee shop) I am unable to ping the WAN address. BUT the VPNs are UP as I can roadwarrior in to a branch site and ping the CORE LAN and Branch LAN with no problems, but again I can't ping anything out in the CORE WAN. However if I am actually on the Branch LAN, no problems pinging google or the out to the Branch's WAN/ISP. There are no roadwarriors set up on the COREs only site to site VPNs. All sites have static IPs. Roadwarriors do not they are dynamic. It is as if the when Snort is installed on the COREs, anything destined for the WAN coming from the CORE LAN is BLOCKED, but anything within the CORE LAN and via the VPN to Branch LAN is OK. However nothing is blocked on the WAN at Branch Sites other than what is specified (porn...etc) and nothing at all is blocked to/from the Branch LAN or CORE LAN from/to the Branch Site LAN. I'm at a loss....until I can figure this out Snort will not be on the CORE LAN Boxes. I would think if the SNORT configurations (Rules enabled/selected) are the SAME on all the PF boxes, that all the same traffic would be BLOCKED....so everything would break, but here only the CORE WAN breaks, but everything else works the way it should...I am just confused!

    @wagebox: @mhab12: I tried setting max disk cache to 0, but it always defaults to 100MB in squid.conf and I need it to be configurable through web interface. This is likely a bug. I helped someone fix this the other day, somehow their config had a stray "<config>" tag under the cache management section of the config.xml file and removing it (and other duplicate config entries that happened because of it) cleared up the problem. The broken config looked like this:         <installedpackages><squidcache><config><config>[lots of settings]</config>                         <config>[lots of settings from the next save]</config>                         <config>[lots of settings from the next save]</config>                         [...repeat a bunch...]</config></squidcache></installedpackages> ```</config>

    After some more testing I'm sorry to say there still are issues: Simultaneously downloading multiple 100 MB rar files from Rapidshare results in a lot of incomplete file transfers. The transfers are nicely throttled, but often they don't complete :( No idea why, it doesn't seem to be a performance issue as CPU and memory are not exactly under stress.

    There is a custom options box on the bottom of the first squid config page, you might be able to set it there.

    @cylent: can the same be applied for youtube videos to cache flv videos? No, but there are some other docs out there which cover that. There is an add-on for squid that will cache videos. Some searching should turn it up.

    Here is what it would take to do it. Setup a ram drive to run the parts that need read and write. Symbolic link directories or files to the ram drive. Sync with a cron job for data that needs to be saved to the hard drive. Its not currently high on my to do list. If someone sponsors the work then it can become a priority. Mark J Crane
