    Hi, I had a problem with my home network today, so I checked pfsense and discovered that suricata had blocked the wan ip. After some tests and triggering some suricata alerts, the wan ip was blocked. I restarted pfsense and ran some more tests, but the problem no longer occurred. I then checked the wan interface settings and indeed the ip list does not include the wan ip, both now that it's working and before, when it was blocked. I'm using pfsense 2.8.0 and suricata 7.0.8_2. I use PPPoE to access the Internet.

    @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.

    Ran into this issue today as well running on 25.07.1 with pfblockerNG-devel 3.2.7. Followed the steps outlined in this thread to edit the pfblockerng.sh file, then deleted/force reloaded all the lists, and all was well again. Thank you everyone in this thread for your your help and great instructions.

    @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.

    @provels said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: This same mess happened to me, even w/o Acme, going from 25.07 to *.1. Blew, reinstalled w/ Crowdsec, blew again, reinstalled, clipped all the Crowdsec info from config.xml, restored config, back to normal. Crowdsec is a great concept, but I think I'm out. I never had this issue with Crowdec before the ACME update, even with updating from 2.7 to 2.8 there was no issues. In fact after restoring from a backup after the ACME update, Crowdsec reinstalled just fine, and this was before the recent release a couple days ago that contained a fix.

    @rio236 said in Bind DNS server refused to transfer zone.: ls example.net Just to be sure ; Is 'ls' here some command line command used by some kind of bind (named / rndc) command line interface ? Never saw that before. I'm using bind a lot myself, although not the pfSense package. But if want to 'pull' the entire zone, then yes, at least the IP of the device you are using should be set up as a slave or device that is authorised to load the entire zone.

    Aaaah, sigh of releaf it's as simple as that. I tried the same thing but made a mistake with the file location. The path in the named.conf file pointed to /etc/namedb/named.root so I created the file there and forgot about the /cf directory Minor correction: The URL in step 3 is http://www.internic.net/zones/named.root (with a / between net and zones, not a .) Thank you very much for the fix anyway. It works perfectly. I hope they automate this step again in an upcoming release.

    It looks like it is possible to connect via https but no way to load a client certificate. With out the client certificate there is no way to authenticate the client using the certificate. username/password at the database level is just not sufficient. Access should be blocked/granted at the certificate level. There needs to be a way to add the two certificates and private key to the pfsense telegraf client.

    @freak4915 said in pfSense, Haproxy, cloudflare cname DDNS letsencrypt certs Timeout: IPv4 TCP * Source * Port This Firewall Destination 443 (HTTPS) Port * Gateway No exactly sure how to read that, if you have a gateway filled in in the rule can you remove that? Other than that there shouldn't be any issues with the config you have.. Not regarding a client-connection timeout anyhow.. All the NAT and reflection settings should be irrelevant for the connection through haproxy.. On the haproxy stats, are the frontends counting incoming connections? I think not.. as i would then expect a different error result in the browser or perhaps a proper response.. Can you check on pfSense console that connection attempts are actually arriving on your wan interface? Login with ssh go to the shell, then run something like tcpdump -ni WAN-NIC port 443 and host 1.2.3.4 where WAN-NIC must be the name of the actual nic like em1 or igb2 or rt3 vtnet4 or pppoe5 so what your wan nic is actually called ;) and the 1.2.3.4 must be the public ip of the client that tries to connect. Then look for the [S] packet that tries to connect and see if a [S.] is send back for a request made from outside.. if so then haproxy (or at least something) apparently accepted the connection.. but im suspecting that modem or isp might be blocking traffic already.?.

    @sparkman123 said in Pkg upgrade or pkg delete/install: Thank you for the info. I think it should be pointed out that I'm not the first to try to use dante- there's this post, this one and this tutorial. If you do a forum search you'll find quite a few hits on other posts. The utility I'm installing is dante, or sockd, which is a fairly well fleshed out distro (it has its own freebsd manpage). I'm also installing a small number of support packages, so that limits the potential performance degradation vector. Finally, I'm doing all my testing on a VM for weeks prior to rolling it out on bare metal. Your initial point is correct though- dante and its supporting libs are not supported by pfsense out of the box and thus could cause problems. But not all packages are created equal- some pose more risk than others. Case in point, before I settled on dante, I looked at another socks proxy, SS5. While it is in the freebsd packages library it is not nearly as well documented and does not appear to be as well vetted as sockd. It is my judgement that sockd poses less of a risk than SS5. Others are free to come to their own conclusions, however. Some might not want to take any risk at all. If the need for functionality outweighs the risk my suggestion would be to look through the code of a package, read its documentation and see how many others have posted/played with it before coming up with a final decision. Just wanted to be sure you were aware of the risks. When folks post it is sometimes hard to determine their "skill level" with pfSense and firewalls in general. So I tend to start with the more elementary things first and move up from there depending on my perception of the poster's skills. We get all kinds here ... . More than once folks have come here asking why they can't get pfSense to install under Windows. They actually think it is just some application you install like Microsoft Office or something ... . Sounds like you are aware of the risks and willing to accept them.

    An update that is actually not an update. I have tried to factory settings and reflashed the firmware but same result. I have searched the internet an only found an old post on this same forum but the solution for them was reinstall the package (thing that did not work for me). I have tried to wipe the package configuration removing the folders /var/etc/haproxy but configuration is still there so I have no clue how to reset the package... Any clues here? In the end I have finished installing haproxy on a VM on my hypervisor. I lost the convenience of having a GUI and the auto renew of the certificates.. but I guess I'll have to live without that.

    I guess changing to an automatically assigned address is still a MAC address change. I couldnt find anything in any manuals about if reporting these is normal or not for Arpwatch and I never noticed before so I'm just looking for confirmation. Not really a big deal and potentially helpful for DHCP issues. I believe this one was due to the computer being in sleep mode when the DHCP address renewed but that's just a guess.

    Ok, so resetting the data has helped a bit. I've waited before coming back, because I'd hoped that the daily data would recover, but there is still no data there under "Data Summary". However, the rest appears to be working meanwhile. I'll say "thanks!" at this point, because with this, I can get the e-mails to me working again, which is the part I need. Thanks!

    mongodb34 is not longer supported.. EOL Jan 2020.. So yeah it was prob pulled from repo... Run your controller on something else, or using VM to do such things as firewall and controller on the same hardware. I got my controller using 3.6 running on a VM on my nas.. Just no place to run your controller on your firewall if you ask me.. Get yourself a clould key if you have no where to run it, or run it in the cloud..
