    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.

    @andresbraga if you still have the firewall rules as you posted, then I don't know why from the laptop you can't ping the pfSense Wireguard address 10.10.6.1 nor the pfSense gateway 10.10.1.1 What is the routing table of the laptop. And I would run a packet capture on pfSense and check what you see if you run the ping to 10.10.1.1 or 10.10.6.1.

    @Gertjan said in Packages reinstall issue when restoring config in a brand new pfsense installation: @kevindd992002 said in Packages reinstall issue when restoring config in a brand new pfsense installation: ideas Yes, one that works for you right now. Your list :remove right away : Service_Watchdog is it is dangerous, and you're probably not a developer (and even they would not use it). Netgate_Coreboot_Upgrade as this updates Netgate devices only (is Netgate_Coreboot_Upgrade a Netgate device ?). After a pfSense install, make WAN work - and stop there. Install the packages by hand, one after another. Then import your backed up config to finalize the setup. Do a reboot, and you'll be fine. Somewhere on the forum, you'll fuind a reason for why the initial automatic install can fail. It's has something to do with a process that didn't get restarted (or something like that). Sorry, what do you mean "yes, one that works for you right now."? Why is Service_Watchdog dangerous? I have Netgate_Coreboot_Upgrade for the sole reason that I want flashrom installed (I know I can install it manually in the CLI but I want it to keep it this way so that I have a reference in the GUI). Regardless, I am fine with my list, this is simply a home firewall/router :) Your suggestion makes sense but it's just that I had no problems with my other box (same model, APU2C4) when I did this a month ago. That other box even has more packages on top of the list that I posted here. I can install the packages manually (and that's probably what I'll be doing anyways) but I just want to know what's causing this. I have to find that thread you're talking about.

    There are no current plans to do that internally, but if someone wants to write up a package for it, we'd certainly be open to reviewing it for inclusion.

    I too am having this problem. with 2.4.5-p1 I can't cleanly upgrade Squid or FRR, they just hang, even when left for 30+ minutes. I've tried rebooting, uninstalling the packages (that mostly hangs too). In the end I tried; # pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade and # pkg-static upgrade -f But, guess what, that hung also once it got to installing the packages.

    Check your firewall logs for the corresponding interfaces and you will likely see UDP multicast traffic on port 5353 still being blocked. It looks like * doesn't include multicast destinations. I found another forum poster had added an alias for something like this, recreated it, and it solved my problems with Avahi traffic being blocked: [image: 1592896841426-51f6b17e-897c-4b59-8b6c-a2bb50603d3d-image.png]
