    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.)

    Hi @patient0, Already fixed :) reset and preformed a full new installation. The peer can connect and performed a successful Handshake, and ping pfsense, wireguard and lan servers. However psfsense and my Lan servers can't ping this peer even with the handshake performed. I know that ping can be misleading but don't now what else.

    @samer79: Dear James, What do you mean by suppress the alert? does it mean that snort will no more block the hosts generating this alert? (this is what i need to do) Thanks. Yes, by using suppress snort will not alert you and will not block any hosts. James

    Hi, I have problem with my snort from beginning. Every time I reboot pfSense, snort stop working. Basically what I found is that snort load itself to memory at startup but it doesn't work. If I wish for snort to work I have to manually clear Alert logs. After that snort reboots itself and start working. Anyone else have same problem? Is there any way to make that automatically? I use last version of pfSense and snort (1.2.3-RC2 built on Wed Jul 8 06:05:02 EDT 2009, Snort 2.8.4.1 pkg v. 1.4). I testing snort with grc.com. Thx for answers…

    Making an educated guess on what was missed 'User Context' needs to be set to 'default' as shown in the example. Regardless what it was I'm glad you were able to get that working. You  can get additional help on IRC at freenode #pfsense-freeswitch. Or continue to ask questions on the forum.

    As my experience, once you click Apply sometimes state will show stop in my experience, this cause by the Blacklist turned ON. but since the blacklist worked fine, then like zabidin said, it must be in the Default tab. In the destination rules, set Default access [all] = deny might be work. ;D

    finally my pfsense - squid - squidguard - lighsquid is WORKING !!!!  ;D ;D ;D :D :D :D ;) ;) ;) :) :) :) ::) ::) ::) i'm very happy about this, because it's been 6 month for me to searching for this! let me share some tips and trick why this can work : 1. Make sure in     PROXY SERVER tab,     >>>the "Proxy interface" = LAN     >>> "Allow users on interface" is turned ON     >>>Transparant mode = ON     >>> Enabled logging = ON     >>> Log store directory = /var/squid/log     >>> Proxy port = 3128     >>> After you turn on the squid guard, in Custom Options = redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf;redirector_bypass on;redirect_children 3 2. Make sure in PROXY FILTER (SQUID GUARD),   >>> the Enable = ON   >>> the SquidGuard service state: STARTED   >>> Blacklist = OFF   >>> Blacklist proxy = [EMPTY] 3. In FIREWALL Rules for LAN   >>> Allow access for LAN  = ON 4. In STATUS - SERVICES   >>> Squid, Squid Guard = RUNNING that's all… if still not work, try this : 1. Reinstall the package 2. SAVE and APPLY the squid guard a couple of times 3. Monitor the system log, if there any errors 4. Monitor the services, makes sure all service is running The last is when i'll already done all of that, and it's still not working, this is the thing that i do : 1. ERASE all the DESTINATION, TIMES, ACL, REWRITES. 2. Don't use the BLACKLIST. It makes (sometimes) the SAVE and APPLY acted strange! 3. RESTART the squid and squidguard. finally, i'm able to accomplish THE MOST POWERFULL AND EASIES FIREWALL, GATEWAY in the WORLD...pfsense... OUUUGGGHHHH !!! thanks for all!!! this forum really makes my mind open! :-*

    After looking over other snort errors in the forum, this looks like a duplicate entry.  Sorry for the dup. I have noticed the same things that others have reported.  Snort starts up perfectly if restarted.  No fatal error.  Still might be a bug here.  But, the quick question is if snort is running after the "fatal error" is it really a problem? EDIT: new information I just noticed, the error says that it's trying to lock 'for PID "1521"'.  But, on a ps, the snort that's running is PID 993, and 993 is the contents of the pid file in /var/run.  This is confusing.
