    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.

    I turned off pFBlocker and hit RUN on Update. You what? Like BBCan177 said: unchecked pBlocker, hit save. Force update (so click on Update and click the RUN button on the screen).

    @agitelzon I have no issue connecting to LE servers from pf shell. The issue is cloudflare security setting is configured as a whitelist for api zone record changes. The whitelist includes my ipv4 address only, as a /32. As I mentioned, I could add the ipv6 prefix as a /64. Given that pf is configured to prefer ipv4, I thought that would carry over to acme as well.

    @lbm_ I have the same problem: pfSense v25.07.1 on FreeBSD 15-Current, Netgate 6100. Could you let me know if you found a solution? I haven't. I have been updating Tailscales from Freshports while keeping the Tailscale Package installed. I have recently read that this can cause problems with routes, interfaces, firewall rules, and others. I am leaning towards deleting the Tailscale package.

    @tinfoilmatt Thanks! I have done that and it worked when forcing just her TV out the Centurylink.. My problem is my local box here. Im missing something because I can not get it to pass traffic from the WAN to the Wireguard tunnel. Ive got some time today so will chip away on my lab setup to see if I can finally accomplish it here first.

    That made no difference which suggests it's not an ESXi issue. Is there a driver needed for this to work? :'( Edit: Got a bit further. After a reinstall of pfSense and restore of settings from backup, I can now get the LCDProc service started on CUA0! However the display is stuck with the Matrix Orbital banner. Checking the Log shows the below issues; Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd LCDd version 0.5.7 starting Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd Using Configuration File: /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd Listening for queries on 127.0.0.1:13666 Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd MtxOrb: unable to read device type Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd MtxOrb: unable to read device firmware revision Jul 3 22:55:17 LCDd MtxOrb: unable to read device serial number Jul 3 22:55:17 php lcdproc: Start client procedure. Error counter: (0) Any ideas? Cheers Jon

    Hi friends. I just want to ask if its possible some way to add the redis server to the watchdog list.  Because i have installed the ntopng package and redis server keep stop it alone.  In the watchdog i config ntopng but when redis its down the ntopng doesn start. Thanks –---------- EDIT:  At the momenti did it with a script and crontab  checking the redis pid,  also the directory /var/run/redis/redis.pid  doesnt exists so maybe that was making errors.
  • Named (bind) service is started when disabled

    I believe this is still happening. I installed but eventually disabled BIND and re-enabled the builtin DNS Resolver service. After a reboot, I see both unbound and named running and it appears that BIND and not DNS Resolver is answering DNS queries. Enabling and disabling the "Enable BIND DNS server." checkbox (and applying settings in-between) results in named being killed and DNS queries once again being answered as expected by the DNS Resolver. This is a nearly fresh installation of pfSense 2.3.4-RELEASE and BIND 9.11_7, so I doubt there's anything unusual about my installation aside from having installed BIND, enabled it (and disabled DNS Resolver), disabled it again (and then reenabled DNS Resolver) and finally rebooted in this configuration. It appears that BIND simply launches unconditionally at boot regardless of whether it's actually enabled.

    Hello FMERTZ Thanks much for the tips. I just used the command line:  LCDd -f -r 5 -s 0    and it showed me the problem…. It seems the FREEBSD is not recognizing my USB display at the plugged port. Anyway, now I finally know what is going on here. It seems I have something wrong with my USB ports. Checking now... By the way, I have started it (for tests) using a regular COM port and the service finally started. Up and running. Thanks Much! Appreciate it! Fabricio Guzzy

    Looks like your filesystem is corrupted, at least the password/user database files. Backup the config, reinstall with a current version, then restore and try again. If you're running from SD card, replace the SD card while you're at it. Those don't last forever. If it's an mSATA then you probably just need to reinstall.

    Hi, The way I managed to get it working reliably was to turn off the IGMP snooping on my managed switch, then the timing out issue went away, but to prevent the multicast flooding my network I put the Youview box onto a separate VLAN and it all worked a treat. Since then I've got the Netgate SG-1000 but had to enable the switch's snooping again to work on that for to work?????

    Hello Everyone, I just got an LCD 16x2 Display (MATRIX compatible)… (It´s working fine on Windows using MATRIX Drive with LCD Smartie) The problem is that the LCDPROC service doesn't start when using MATRIX driver option. (see image) - Also doesn't start with some of the available options.  Am I missing something? Any tip to resolve the problem? Thanks Much Fabricio.

  • Snort - Interfaces Shut Down

    Snort is for IDS/IPS. Yeah I've checked all those threads and none offer working solutions. When I say the "snort interfaces will shut down", I don't mean the actual true LAN/WAN interfaces on pfSense. In Snort, you set up which interfaces you want to monitor with Snort, and those are your "snort interfaces". I agree that after the auto update runs, it would want to recycle the "snort interfaces". It shuts them down alright. They don't come back up without manual intervention.

    Thanks.  The device parameter you provided was the only thing I was missing.  APC status is now populated and appears to have the correct information.  What I find odd, is that even after rebooting my system last night /dev/cuau0 still does not show in dmesg.  I tried probing the hardware a few other way also and still could never find reference to the APC unit being connected.

    Hello Stephenw10 Thanks much for the message. I will check it, although the service can't start, not with that config. Anyway, I am also trying to use parallel port configuration since it doesnt' need any interface in between. (I have another display hd44780 compatible with no USB interface) Will post the results here after all. Thanks Fabricio.
