    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.

    @Draco try to goto the General Tab, first ensure that the Keep Settings option is checked. Then unchecked Enable pfBlockerNG so that its disabled. Hit save. Force Update. Then reenable pfBlockerNG and Force update.

    @GPz1100 I ran into this same exact issue. I don't have the Prefer IPv4 over IPv6 box checked, but I do have IPv6 enabled. I think the real issue is that Let's Encrypt's server seems to respond with "Recv failure: Connection reset by peer" on almost every request when using IPv6. I tested this by using the command curl -v https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory from pfsense's shell. To work around it, I modified the ACME script as you described. In the file /usr/local/pkg/acme/acme.sh, I updated line 1887 from: _ACME_CURL="curl --silent --dump-header $HTTP_HEADER " to: _ACME_CURL="curl -4 --silent --dump-header $HTTP_HEADER " After forcing curl to use IPv4, both certificate registration and renewal from the acme package started working again without issue.

    @elvisimprsntr Updated 25.07.1 to 1.90.6_1, copied and pasted from @elvisimprsntr's post: pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.90.6_1.pkg (Why it worked this time and not on previous updates: Over the last couple of days, I ran into the "Shared object "libutil.so.10, not found..." error that triggered the version 25.07.1 update issues some of us have been having. After I fixed that error, I decided to go back to the usual update method, and it worked.)

    @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.

    I was looking at something else in ntopng today and went ahead and tested/committed a fix so that redis now only binds to localhost. Still worked fine for me so I pushed the new version out for everyone.

    Probably not. Personally, I would leave the FTP server running and only enable the firewall rule/port forward when it is needed.

    That "error" is harmless, there is likely some other different error happening. Post the full output from the package installation window when it fails.

    That depends on what you mean by "keep this package up to date". If you mean keeping the package itself current/updated, there is no way to keep it updated that does not also potentially compromise the integrity of the package set on pfSense. One of several reasons we do not recommend installing packages from other repositories, including FreeBSD's own repositories. You can reinstall it by hand when you know an update is available. FreeBSD packages are good about not clobbering your own files/data when uninstalling/updating/installing again. If you mean keeping it across pfSense updates, that's even less certain. You will likely have to manually reinstall it after each update.

    This thread was specifically for people who were developing packages previously who needed information on converting existing packages for use on pfSense 2.3 in the new pkg and bootstrap framework. Not for general package creation questions.

    johnpoz we get it, you dont like dnscrypt, so why are you in this thread? If someone wants to run dnscrypt on their own kit, its none of your business. My setup on my existing router which I plan to migrate to pfsense is sort of like this local caching resolver -> forwards uncached requests to my own dnscrypt endpoint of which that resolves out on the internet. and yes I know what dnssec is and the mode is nothing to do with dnssec. uozewe -I am willing to send something your way for the work, a cli only package is good enough for me, so just the binary, rc script and maybe sample configuration.  I got no issue editing unbound and what not to add forwarder manually.

    Your pkg metadata is very out of date if it's trying to fetch a file that old. Try running "pkg update -f" from a shell prompt and then see if it works. It should be pulling version 1.3.13, not 1.3.8.

    I don't see any version of this software available for freebsd. If NUT works you don't need anything other to be installed on firewall.

    Most are there, some are not. snort/suricata are not there. There isn't enough horsepower to run them and I think they wouldn't compile, either. Our hands are tied somewhat based on what will and what will not compile on ARM and from the RAM/CPU limits. For example: Squid should work, Squid+ClamAV would not be viable.

    @PiBa: Look under the 'actions' to configure 'what' to do if a acl is matched. There are only a very few acl's that have extra options under the + button. Thanks for the hint. I didn't found any action for url rewrite, so I guess I have to write a custom action. But I didn't find any working custom action to to this. I think I would have to use a "http-request set-path" action, but I didn't find any working examples for my rewrite. Could you please provide an example for a custom action that simply rewrites the url path from /MyPath to /? Edit: I found a working action. I've added this to the backend: reqrep ^([^\ ])\ /MyPath/(.) \1\ /\2
