    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 ?

    @luckman212, Thanks for your suggestion. I will check what I have in /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state, and also the RAM disk settings others have brought up. I could learn more about where Tailscale and pfSense store system files. If I find anything worth sharing, I will let you know.

    @RNM-0 Thanks for your comment and sharing your fix. Unfortunately I don't want to take down pfsense and downgrade versions. I'm currently fine at the moment since I'm using Tailscale and that works. I also fixed the other crash I was having with pfblocker by changing a line code that wasn't pushed out under this version. Hopefully the stable release won't take too long to release but it appears there's still some open bugs that need to be fixed before that happens, and ironically, both the pfblocker and wireguard issues aren't on that list of bug fixes.

    The system now shows only 25mb free and about 2mb of swap being used.. while there is still almost 1600mb in the inactive.. Could it be that it's not freeing up or able to use this memory?

    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.

    Yeah, it does have a dependency on the state table.  It could be the case that the way my default rules are they just lend the,selves to the pfflowd process.

    The snort package is no longer available for pfSense.  I would encourage you to create a separate snort box and use that in conjunction with your firewall.
