    @andrew_cb Thank you very much for this, I just tried your proposed solution and it did work! That was driving me crasy! Way simpler than deleting the haproxy_server_state file.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

    Hi all. Just wondering if I’m the only one that noticed this after upgrading to 25.07 and pFblocker 3.2.7: I have my pfBlockerNG set to update every night at 02:00am and it does (like it also did before). But after the upgrade I also have a pfBlockerNG PHP script running at about 16:00 on one box and 19:00 on another. The command is: /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng-php dcc(php) This process eats a lot of CPU, about 1 minutes worth of one core @ 100% on my 6100 and one core @ 100% for about 5 minutes on the less powerfull 2100 box (This is 50% of the 2100 CPU power). It seems it does a GEOIP update as that is the only thing thats referenced in the extras.log of pfBlockerNG. Why is this suddently so different from running on 24.11? And why is this not done at 02:00 when its scheduled to update?

    @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.

    @EChondo What's your pfSense version ? The instructions are shown here : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png] A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate. @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy: I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess. No need to wait x days. You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    @totalimpact Tailscale 1.54.0 is 2+ years out of date. Tailscale has made quite a number of changes since Tailscale 1.54.0, likely rendering it incompatible with their servers. I would consider manually updating the Tailscale FreeBSD package. FreshPorts does not maintain an archive of all the releases, only the latest compiled by the volunteer maintainers. The key to manually upgrading is knowing which FreeBSD version your pfSense release is running, i.e. 14 or 15. You can following along here.

    SOLVED. Turns out nothing wrong with my tunnel setup and not due to CGNAT. The reason PING works and other traffic doesn't is due to packet size and MTU. Something on the wireless network means that the default MTU doesn't work, forcing a smaller MTU to 1280 on pfSenseB fixed this. This Reddit thread has more details of this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/WireGuard/comments/qmsa2n/ping_works_but_sites_arent_loading/

  • Snort & Firewall IP to Resolve to DNS?

    I don't know if I 100% agree with that statement. While it may take more processing power to perform the reserve lookup. If done right it would not be less secure. If your machine is making any requests for those services, they already have your IP during the handshake and reply so…. Also just like most services, you would think they would do a reserve look up using a service provider. Such as a "whois" report server, and then return that data back to you. So you would not be sending data back to the original location asking for a "whois" you would be sending your "whois" reverse lookup request to a "whois" service that would return the answer. This practice is pretty common. I deploy Watchguard firewalls all the time and they have reserve DNS features as well that checks Watchguards DNS services and provides a respond back to resolve the name. Also one reason I went with PFSense is so I could have the increase hardware to perform these types of things... It's kind of a no brainier that it should be a feature and I dont see it being a wild request...

    Pbi files are for 2.2.x version. They will not work on 2.3.4 This looks like a squidguard error, not a squid one. If you really want to change the squid version on your system, you need to enable freebsd repository or compile it on a bsd and create a package to install.

    Thanks for the suggestion and I do remember that the package I used for the previous firewall did require customization to my modem. Initial research shows that the snmp approach may be fruitful, but i will likely not be able to display the graphs in pfsense.

    I suppose this would be better posted to a FreeRADIUS board; I'll experiment with FreeRADIUS 3 as well to see if rebinds are done within the existing TLS session as I would expect or if they are attempted in the clear.

    @jimp: Do not attempt to downgrade anything. Make sure the FreeRADIUS package is updated (System > Package Manager, Installed Packages tab) and then make sure your FreeRADIUS settings are correct. You may need to set certificates for EAP. Thanks for reply: FreeRadius is updated again; Certificates for EAP implemented but not used (only possibility configuration for saving the settings); as well as "Plain MAC Auth" is now disabled (did not know before on 2.3.3??) Now I am waiting …

    @hsrtreml: same issue with new patch within EAP: The following input errors were detected: SSL CA Certificate must not be set to 'none'. Create a CA certificate if needed and select it here. SSL Server Certificate must not be set to 'none'. Create a server certificate if needed and select it here. I set some Cert-Example; save; then no error message but after a long time freeradius service end!! That is not the same issue. Please start a new thread.

    If you want to just be able to give out host.fqdn.com as the URL you'll need to move the front end to port 80.  I would suggest that instead you move it to 443 and use the ACME package to add TLS to your service; users would then have to use https://host.fqdn.com but you'd provide a bit more security if you're using any kind of username / password on ombi.

    There is no way to do this directly within the GUI.  You will instead have to export the config.xml firewall configuration file, open it in an XML editor and locate the section within the file that stores the Snort configuration, export that section, and then import that section into your template xml.

    @knightv: i can't start ….. Another issue : You saw the : "Unable to check for updates"  ? Much is said already on the forum about that one. Btw : the log lines you showed explain the problem very well : FreeRadius can't load the certificate and bails out.

    You sure do not need to join the domain to auth a user to AD..  I agree with ivor here, putting samba on your firewall is not a very good idea! DNS1 is the first domain controller DNS2 is the second domain controller dns1 and 2 where?  Why would pfsense use those - out of the box pfsense would point to itself and use resolver (unbound)  So putting dns anywhere in pfsense is pretty pointless.
