    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.

    i would go with pfblockerng-devel (pfblockerng is old and probably discontinued) and suricata take in mind that blocking torrent is very difficult, you can't block it 100% but you can make life harder for the clients

    Your fine @LeftCoastGeek there was another thread mentioning the certs, but they did not mention this one. And when that one was fixed - this one still had an issue. I brought it up to the powers that be - it should be corrected by now.. Thanks for bringing it up!

    Link local ipv6 is not a gua or a lua address. Pretty much everything has link-local address built into the kernel etc.. pretty difficult to turn those off.

    No, prohibiting password saving cannot be done in the config file. You can roll out it by group policy in a Windows domain. There is also a way to compile the installation file without the save-password option, as far as I remember I've read that here. But I can't help with that. Possibly you can get support from Netgate guys.

    I looked through the git log. I wanted to donate to whoever maintains this package, but it looks like pfsense devs do it now? I messaged the creator, but no luck.

    @cinlung said in How to automatically reinstall old packages when I restore a configuration file into a new pfsense machine: Is this done automatically What about : never give the control to some system, as doing it yourself is better/faster/easier/saver/etc (what ever may apply for you). This is what I would do : peek into the config file, an ordinary user readable xml file, and see what 'pfSense' packages you have. Now, install pfSense, fire it up, do the minimal command line (console) interface assignment WAN and LAN and stop there. Connect to the GUI, make the WAN work - if your WAN is using the default DHCP, this step isn't even needed. Now, visit the package manager. Just click install one by one all the packages needed - referenced in the config. When you see the green 'all is ok' bar, install the next package. Do not set them up. Import your config.xml file. It will find all packages loaded and up to date, it will just configure them. Restart and done. If something goes wrong, you'll be knowing exactly what went wrong (which package). The same thing would go wrong when you kick start without packages installed upfront, but then you would see what went wrong. In a worst case situation you strip the package from the config.xml list (in the package list) and re import the config again.
