    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: Your suggestion is preferred, but from I understood from you, nobody is interested or have the knowledge. Again thank you, for updating this package over the years. I'm sure there is someone here on the forum using the package that has the knowledge to maintain it. Another option if IDS/IPS is critical is to use the Linux package on a separate virtual machine or hardware appliance. Inline IPS performance would actually be very good using a Linux box (or even a FreeBSD box) with two separate NICs and configure true netmap hardware-to-hardware mode. That is many times more performant than the hardware-to-host mode that is required when using netmap within pfSense. Of course using a separate box would mean no GUI, but that's how the vast majority of the world uses Suricata already (without a GUI).

    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @wesley33taylor okay, now I have to ask, just due to being especially dense today, what and how did you do that? what do others need to change, so that there is written history for anyone else that might end up finding this thread and wanting to do the same, the usefulness of archival purposes and the desire to confirm I've done the same drive me to ask this. please advise.

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    resolved! Issue was the following I corrected a few things on your config: Your Outbound NAT configuration was malformed. I corrected it to utilize Hybrid mode and configured a single Outbound NAT for your Wireguard connection, which should be much cleaner. I updated your routing table to be Automatic and switched to Policy-based routing within the firewall rules under Firewall --> Rules --> LAN I updated the name of the interface for the Wireguard tunnel to be called TORGUARD and set the MSS clamping to 1350. This can probably be bumped back up to 1400, but I wanted to make sure the clamping was small enough to avoid fragmentation. I cleaned up some redundant firewall rules and a few other "odds and ends".

    Most of snorts rules are designed to block against attacks coming over the internet… so unless you expects attacks to come from friendly's, I'd just enable it on the WAN. Regarding your second question, yes, the firewall rule created by snort should block traffic from that IP altogether, however I have noticed some inconsistencies with pfsense and firewall rules (particularly that if you're using squid, firewall rules over port 80 don't work). You should do some testing to make sure it behaves as you expect.

    1Gb RAM mini-itx system. ( this for Home use only ) Here are my settings for proxy server: Proxy server: General settings Proxy interface : LAN Allow users on interface : checked Transparent proxy : checked Do NOT proxy Private Address Space (RFC 1918) : unchecked Enabled logging : unchecked Log store directory : /var/squid/log (default) Proxy port : 3128 (default) ICP port : empty Visible hostname : localhost (default) edit: "pfsense" or your routers name; to fix Squid-icons (FTP). Administrator email : admin@localhost (default) members of my family know how to find me when things go sour. ;) Language : english (default) Disable X-Forward : checked    Some forums check for ip-ranges and mess up bigtime and won't give you access.    (check these sites , "with" and "without" X-forward ;) )    example forum : http://www.evga.com/forums/    test proxy here : http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test Disable VIA : unchecked What to do with requests that have whitespace characters in the URI : strip (default) Use alternate DNS-servers for the proxy-server : empty Custom Options : redirect_program /usr/local/libexec/adzap;redirect_children 8;maximum_object_size_in_memory 512 KB;    I manually installed adzapper and configured the redirection this way.    maximum_object_size_in_memory 512 KB:    Some pictures can be bigger than the default setting of 64KB and won't be cached from memory. (speed boost)    Do not set this too big, balance this with the Memory cache size mentioned below. Proxy server: Upstream proxy settings Nothing, don't need it in my situation. Proxy server: Cache management Hard disk cache size : 1000 default is 100    Remember: Indexing this hdd cache also uses some RAM so don't ubersize your hdd cache!!! Hard disk cache location :  /var/squid/cache (default) Memory cache size : 128 default is 8    This not an absolute setting, squid can grow beyond what you set here. Minimum object size : 0 default Maximum object size : 16384 default is 4 ?!?    default according to squid should be 4096 Kb.    I use heap LFUDA, it's recommended to increase the maximum object size above default to get a better HIT ratio.   This setting is my personal trail and error setting. Level 1 subdirectories : 16 default is 16    More levels increases cache complexity and dependency on hdd speed. For normal home use I recommend default setting. Memory replacement policy : heap LFUDA default is heap GDSF    Increase Maximum object size when using heap LFUDA to increase hit ratio.    too fix in 1.2.1 RC1 package squid 2.6.21 read this topic:    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,11008.0.html Cache replacement policy : heap LFUDA default is heap LFUDA Low-water-mark in % : 90 default is 90 High-water-mark in % : 95 default is 95    Bring these values closser together when running into memory overflow problems.    90-95 = 5% but 5% can still represent are large chuck of cache or RAM depending on your settings. Do not cache : empty Enable offline mode : unchecked Proxy server: Access control Proxy server: Traffic management Proxy server: Authentication Proxy server: Local users Not needed for "home" users. I did not configure anything here all left at default.

    It's transparent to the user. Spamd will basically just tell the incoming mail server to go away for a little while… and theoretically only the real mail servers will come back. A typical spammer will not try again. I've never used spamd, but most greylisting packages will remember which servers have previously sent messages, so the delay is only in the first email received. I have my server only greylist incoming mail senders that have dynamic ips. Very few real mail servers have dynamic ips, and very few spammers send spam from static ips. This has the added benefit of far fewer lost emails (which are rare anyways), and no delay for 99% of incoming mail.

    I really doubt this is true.  You can stop squid if you go to status/services.  Even if the redirect rule was still in place, any change/apply of a firewall rule should reload the filters.  Also, many users have transparent squid running in a production environment without issue.  I'm sure that it isn't as good as having standalone Squid box, but for many people, it's the best solution.

    I believe the file to edit is /etc/inc/filter.inc  You can edit it from the gui if you enter that file name starting with the leading slash, however I am not sure of what line number or how the squid redirect reads exactly.  Don't change anything if you don't know what it does. It might be worth your while to start a new thread to ask how to exclude an IP from the global squid/transparent proxy redirect.  It's basically a firewall rule, so the 'firewalling' forum may even be appropriate - but don't quote me on that.
