    @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.

All sites are https these days, and https sites can be redirected to "another https web server" like the "pfSense pfBlocker Web server".

    @fjmp24 said in Notification: UPS ups battery is low: If I remove ignorelb directive, my UPS shuts down after 16 seconds This means your UPS is signaling a low battery. Either your battery is bad, or your UPS is bad. Most likely battery, but you never know. I suggest reaching out to Eaton support.

    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 ?

    @chpalmer okay so here is the update. I was able to get all my wireguard servers handshaking, my two personal tunnels and my one nord. I have full access to to my lan with my personal tunnels but I now dont have nord routing any traffic through its tunnel. I try to make a lan rule route one ip through nord and make one NAT rule and nothing. I lose internet on my one ip when I try and make a rule to use the nordvpn gateway

    @vleinone: Hi, True if you mean "Diagnostics: System logs: System" page, but it send only blocked information, not full alert (right). I want to send syslog "Services: Snort: Snort Alerts" page information. Br, Ville Oh okay, yeah that won't work currently.

    Glad you got the update installed successfully. Let me know if you still have issues with miniupnpd. The error message from the log when it happens, and what you did or program you were using to make that error occur is what I need. Otherwise I'm shooting in the dark on where problem is.

    Yes it can be done in pfSense. It would be possible to specify which categories are to be blocked. I might do this soon when I get some free time.

    Good find. I have added the code to correctly set the webgui url in miniupnpd. Please update by doing the following and let me know how it works for you. From the console choose option 8 shell. Type the following command. fetch -o - http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/miniupnpd/sh-update-miniupnpd.sh | sh - After that completes goto the miniupnpd settings page in the webgui and click change. This will rebuild the miniupnpd config and restart miniupnpd.

    Not sure what is happening, but I can't seem to install freeradius via the package manager in the GUI now.  This is the error I recieve: Downloading package configuration file… done. Saving updated package information... done. Downloading freeradius and its dependencies... done. Checking for successful package installation... failed! Installation aborted. When I try to execute a pkg_add -r freeradius in the gui like I had done previously, this seems to hang too.  I did notice looking on the freebsd ports site that they have moved to freeradius-1.1.4_1.  Not real sure what to think of it just yet, but if anyone has a solution please let me know, I'll continue working with it on my end.

    @sullrich: Do you have the OpenNTPD package installed as well? I'm not sure what you mean in saying "as well"…are there two OpenNTPD services? I'm talking about the OpenNTPD package that can be installed as an extra and used as an NTP Server to provide NTP to the network, which would then allow me to synchronize client computers with pfSense. That is what I have installed and what is not starting for some reason. I suppose there is an NTP client in pfSense that synchronizes with internet servers (e.g. pool.ntp.org), so that may be causing the confusion, but that part of pfSense seems to be working great and is not in question... But maybe neither is working...?

    anyway this is not so imp. Ntop is not so good. I`ve noticed that it shows only some kind of traffic.For ex. DC++ is not shown only bittorent and edonkey.Maybe is configured to do this.

    the best place to find the logs and view these stats is under /var/squid/logs/access.log and cache.log, the later being the more helpful of the two.  If you view it in vi you can use shift G to jump to the end of the file where the most recent entries are.

    there's not an easy way to do it.  The best way, from the command line is to delete the squid cache manually and then run squid -z which will rebuild it.

    @ginosteel: You can not run squid on the same port as the webgui Then you are in transparent proxy mode which is on port 80 by definition. Set the WebGUI of pfSense to :81 or change to HTTPS on :443 and this error message will go away. Alternatively turn off transparent proxying and you get access to squid only on the specified port.

    OK, found and fixed the problem. If you have a wireless connection (opt1) bridged with LAN and you leave the IP address blank in the IP configuration box on the opt1 interface it causes the problems I was having. You have to un-bridge the connection put a (fake?) ip address in and then re-bridge the connection. That seems to fix it, although I need to give it a proper test
