    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.

    @tinfoilmatt said in Failed or invalid Mime Type: [application/SIMH-tape-data|0]: (ASN data is IPinfo, not Maxmind) Thats correct but "GeoLite2-Country" is from Maxmind ... (that confused me) I'm considering simply adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list to test. Thats what i tought too ... I'll try when I have the time for it ... Edit: I can confirm - adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list at line 257 in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc did the trick - no more error! Edit: OK, problem resolved but I would like to know, whats the cause for that error! (SIMH-tape-data sounds like a "blast from the past" ...) Thanks a lot!

    @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.

    And when you are on version 25.07.1 or 25.07 and then click on the reinstall button for the ACME package. It will downgrade. :) [image: 1755753389733-125fc31e-ef4f-4342-b364-48c2b03446c5-image.png]

    @rosskan In theory, when you tunnel a 'VPN1' over another 'VPN2', VPN2 will see the originating IP as the one belonging to VPN1, not your real WAN IP. So far, ok. That said, when you subscribed to VPN1 and VPN2, you probably used your ISP IPv4 ^^ You installed the VPN1 (or2) application on your crappy laptop ?, if so, 'forget about it' ^^ 'as they know', the app is at an end point, and can see 'everything'. Don't forget that you pay for your VPN subscription, but you give them more then your money. They can see and use your data connection for 'data mining'. And they will make use of that data - by selling it. Why ? Because the share holders want a good financial result. If you need to connect two (your !) networks (or sites) together, use your own VPN solution. Don't use a commercial company. For example, take the ones you got with pfSense. If you really need to use that public network (aka : the Internet) to contact public servers, you are aware that the connection is already encrypted end-to-end ? That's what https is all about. 'http' doesn't really exist anymore / shouldn't be used. Also, you need to take other steps to be safe : you really should start with removing "windows 10" out of the equitation .... @rosskan said in What information can vpn provider see when I use wireguard?: does wireguard share the mac address of the ethernet port of the crappy laptop with vpn provider #2? MAC addresses travel on a local segment. Your laptop's MAC doesn't travel any further then the first hop, this is most probably your first router (gateway) like pfSense. Packet capture your traffic to check this. The Ethernet headers are not encrypted.

    @doktornotor: Either flush the states or reboot the box. Instead of disabling it, you could of couse also stop using blocklists that apparently do not fit your needs. Or, whitelist the sites in pfBNG. Or…. just read the pfBNG GUI hints. Ok that works. Thank you very much for the help Alex

    Hi, would also try it with Captive Portal and disallow simulatenous connections. So when someone give the password to someone else then they are kicking thmself off the network because only the least active connection will have access. So on the first days they will share their credentials but if there are 10 people sharing the same credentials they will not have any fun with that.

    I love it how people justify garbage setups because of minuscule costs.. So you could pickup a pogo plug (tiny computer) for under $20 uses like zero power.  You could pickup a pi again for under $35 for sure.. You could get the latest and greatest pi 2 b+ kit with SD card, etc.. for $55 uses like nothing for power.. pogo you can run arch linux on, has usb 2, usb 3 and even 1 USM/SATA Slot http://www.amazon.com/Pogoplug-Series-4-Backup-Device/dp/B006I5MKZY So your setting up something that clearly is unsupported because its a power saving issue, or cost of running a new piece of hardware?  That you can get for pennies?  Clearly you paying for internet, have a laptop, and most likley multiple pcs?  Since you mention old PC buty don't want to leave it on because of power. But you can not afford $20 to have a new toy to play with!!!  And also provide your samba sharing server…

    So yeah ran into the same issue.. Pretty simple work around just use openssl to put a password on it. So your saying you can import the .key file without a password?  I will have to try that - but I agree its a bit of a hassle. Did you import the server cert?  I my iphone 5s, my wifes 5c and my older ipad all using eap-tls to auth with out any issues. Sep 13 07:56:26 radiusd[57374]: Login OK: [j-phone] (from client uapac port 0 cli AC-FD-EC-62-34-97) j-phone Sep 13 07:31:05 radiusd[57374]: Login OK: [k-iphone] (from client uap-ac-lr port 0 cli 80-00-6E-9D-EA-DE) k-iphone Here are too recent auths from the log for my phone and my wifes phone. What I ended up installing was the p12 you can export after putting a password on it and the actual server cert and eap-tls is working great..

    @johnpoz: Well there are instructions right - so do it that way.  Why do you need a package?  While many of the packages are written by people that wanted some functionality to me, and this is only my personal opinion since I have no ties to the development. The inclusion of a package you can click an install is somewhat of a signoff by the developers that it is ok to do such a thing.  Take freeradius package for example or the vnstat2, or snort or squid.  While these packages sometimes break and can break functionality of the pfsense in general.  I might be in left field on that, but that is how I see it. You don't see any packages for turning pfsense into a nas now do you ;)  Many a request for that over the years. If you want a package, please create one or maybe put in a bounty for it, etc.  If gets high enough sure someone will take it on - then it would be up to the developers if included in the package list or not, etc. But for now if you really want it running on pfsense - I am quite sure I have seem a quide or even 2 on how to do so over on the unifi forums. I had this running on my pfSense appliance and it was a huge problem. Most services would not start upon reboot and that's if a requested reboot would take place. UPnP would not work due to the Java using a shared port (1900 if I recall). This would need to be a supported package or just not run on the pfSense appliance. I went with the latter.

    @ashima: I am sorry for the late reply… but I didn't get your point - 0.1.1 is merged no need for manual hack. Does that mean I need not install ipguard and I can do MAC-IP pairing. No, I mean you can simply install the updated package….

    @doktornotor: There's nothing horrible about bind. Running public DNS server on your firewall is entirely different matter. Frankly, unless this is running on some fat line serverhosting/VPS, I'd just completely forget about running my own DNS server. It can be run for free by your domain registrar, or by HE Free DNS service, or whatever. No idea what do you mean by "default" ACLs. Would assume default is just deny which your logs are pretty much confirming. This ^^
