    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.

    Hi, In softflowd config page you have to define settings : Interface Host Port Max Flows If you do not set one of these the service won't start.

    ^ this is spot on advice..  I really can not stress it enough, unless your very familiar with bind and keep it updated.  And even then its going to be very rare that its just not better to host dns elsewhere.  There are plenty of places you can get FREE service if your registrars dns is lacking features.  HE comes to mind for sure, and for low cost $29 a year sort of price dnsmadeeasy is just top notch choice. For starters hosting off your own connection, do you have another connection/location to provide your 2nd ns?  this really should be on completely different netblock and isp and completely different geographic location, etc. I have been in this field for many years, and dns is a passion/hobby/work for me and I just really can not think of when you would want to do this on your own connection/gear.. Its just not cost/effort effective to provide your public dns off your own stuff when there are companies that all they do is dns and they do it very very well!!!  Anycast, ddos protection, instant updates, great reporting on queries, etc. etc. If your just needing to test something, ok - why can you not just do that in house and not available to internet?  If your wanting to use pfsense downstream and need a downstream ns in your network ok pfsense can do that off its wan, etc.  But when it comes to production public dns I don't hosting that yourself as a good idea.

    curl is in the base system, so is fetch. For most thing you'd need or want wget for on a firewall, fetch is fine, and curl will work if fetch will not. There's really no need for wget.

    SOLVED - listen to single LAN ip was the key. @planetinse: @dreadnought: On my LAN, 10.0.1.201 is accessible and port 25 answers… the problem is that for some reason postfix forwarder (on my firewall running pfsense) cannot forward mail to it.  If I leave my original NAT rule on for port 25 (any on port 25 to 10.0.1.201) then mail servers are able to hit my internal mail server fine through the firewall... but postfix forwarder is not in the mix in this scenario. When I disable that NAT rule (as the postfix forwarder instructions say to do) and add the rule I mentioned above, postfix forwarder answers on port 25, which is great... but mail never gets from postfix forwarder to 10.0.1.201.  I get the error mentioned above, which to me looks like for some reason postfix forwarder cannot "see" or connect to 10.0.1.201.  I'm not sure how else to explain.  Maybe a screenshot of my rules? Waking up an old topic since I got the exact same problem - I dont seem to find any solution on this in the thread…. so dreadnought did you ever found a solution to this?

    ok issue #2 workaround (not fix in IMO) 1. was to set postfix to listen on LAN address only (192.168.1.5) a CARP address 2. NAT the external IP port 25 to the LAN IP tried to set postfix to listen on 127.0.0.1 only and NAT both the LAN and WAN ip's to it - but then i still could not route the mails to LAN.

    There is now a pfBlockerNG package that replaces pfBlocker, so I am locking this thread.
