    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??

    I changed the squid package last night and shortened all of the tab names so they should fit back into tabs now, and won't trigger the drop-down navigation. If you reinstall the package it should pick up the change.

    You can easily do this without Squid: if Bob has a static IP, you can put him in the "penalty queue" of the traffic shaper.

    @scottnguyen: Now that 1.2.3 is out, I was beginning to try out the FS package.  I saw here that a comment to try it internally it was said "To make this work locally only, bind ext/int/lan to the LAN IP" and Make sure turn off/configure your local machine's firewall too. Q 1.  Exactly how do BIND the EXTernal / INTerfaces interfaces? If you want both internal and external profiles to bind to a particular ip address. Then there is a variable local_ip_v4 that is usually determined automatically however you can override the value by setting it at the top of the variables page. <x-pre-process cmd="set" data="local_ip_v4=192.168.0.1">If you want to adjust only a single sip profile you edit it and remove the ${local_ip_v4} and replace it with IP you want FreeSWITCH to bind to. <param name="rtp-ip" value="${local_ip_v4}"> <param name="sip-ip" value="${local_ip_v4}"> By default local_ip_v4 detect the WAN IP and therefore binds the internal and external profile to the WAN IP. But it is still protected by the firewall. So by default only people on the LAN can access it. @scottnguyen: Q 2.  If I turn off the firewall, then obviously that feature is off, what is the better way to test this only INTERNALLY?  I wish to test the features with no public DNS or IP Address yet. Set it up in the LAN or wherever you want and get a phone or soft phone and register to it. P.S The project has finally gotten a name. Its called fusionpbx and it is now multi-platform and the website is http://www.fusionpbx.com. pfSense package for the latest version is in the development.</x-pre-process>

    I haven't used mod_syslog yet but I know there is xml config file for it. /usr/local/freeswitch/autoload_configs/syslog.conf.xml Looked at the file and didn't see any settings to push to a remote syslog server so I imagine it talks to the local syslog server. Mark J Crane

    @sourcenaut: Do I need to set any outgoing pass rules for wan? No, traffic can leave from the pfSense box itself by default (and can't be blocked, actually) If you want to prevent someone from getting out of the WAN, you need to block them coming into the (LAN, LAN2, LAN3, etc).

    @GruensFroeschli: You could install the developers version which has most of the tools a stock FreeBSD has. Basically: everything strapped away in the pfSense version is still there in the developers version. Thanks for the info - wasn't aware of that.  Definitely a lot easier than trying to cobble together a working OS from a full disk install to the pared down firewall edition.

    @biatche: I plan to have a pfsense rig with 2 hard disks, 1 for pfsense, another for squid cache (raptor) first of all, does anybody find this necessary? or should I put pfsense on the raptor and cache along with it. is it at all possible (guidance if possible) to setup pfsense in this manner? Its supposed to increase speeds a good bit… especially if you have a really big and really fast newer hard drive. They say that having squid on the same Hard Drive that the OS is on makes it slower. Although, this also depends on how many users you will have on your system. If you have 100, then by all means get two 500GB Hard drives. If you only have 5 (like us), I think a faster sata hard drive would work, just you would not need a ton of space. I've got a 160GB Hard drive I want to use, but I've not been able to get the bios to detect it, or pfsense to mount it, so I don't know if it will work.
