    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.

    @LowKnee Just out of curiosity are you referring to the Database Sanity Check reporting that "these two counts should match" it the count is off by 1 (which I suspect is your case) there was a fix (manual code change) to change masterfile to mastercat in pfblolckerng.sh you want to change this change the line from s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${masterfile})" to s1="$(grep -cv ^${ip_placeholder2}$ ${mastercat})" There is also an edge case if the count is greater than one, here is how that goes if in the deny directory you have say two flies (because of the list / file selection you have and they have repeat addresses file 1 has say 100 lines file 2 has say 10 lines (but those 10 lines are also in file 1, file 2 is a subset) you get two uniquely named deny files and then when the "count" is calculated on the deny directory it sees 110 entries when the "count:" is calculated on the "mastercat" file it only contains 100 entries the count doesn't match in my case the issue was caused by full list I had selected, also having an available subset lists (I had inadvertently selected one of) this causing two deny files with some of the same (overlapping data) I unselected the subset and bingo matched again, was a "my bad" selection. Edit: this applied to 25.07 (and 25.07.1) and pfblockerng 3.2.7 as it is labelled on those versions of pfSense

    @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.

    IIRC this was caused by storing and reading the nas list in Sql db. Disable this and store your nas in a static config file. If this is indeed the case.

    Check out https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/blob/master/pkg_config.10.xml and search for "<noembedded>true</noembedded>" I think that is the right pkg_config file.

    @fragged: So you are trying to download a file from an internal server using your pfSense's WAN IP? Why? The problem you are seeing is NAT reflection. Just simply use the internal hostname or IP of the webserver. Good point fragged… but i have to use the external domain name as the webserver uses the host header names to direct the request to the correct website on the server. pfsense is port forwarding port 80 to the internal LAN IP of the web server. The domain name is used to direct which hosted site the webserver responds to. The webserver is fully configured and working with several domains associated with it. the default webserver is usually disabled, i only enabled it for teting this issue. So dumping a txt file on the default website is not possible for live work. just seen BBcan177's reply too.... stand by i will just test using the url with host name, doamin and IP address etc. to see what works and what does not. oh...  for reference 1:1 NAT is disabled console Results for: fetch -o testfile.txt "URL" ----Test Group 1---- using ip                            URL= h-t-t-p://x.x.x.x/pfsense/mylist.txt                                                works ok using Hostname                        h-t-t-p://localservername/pfsense/mylist.txt                                works ok using Hostname and domain    h-t-t-p://localservername.mydomain.co.uk/pfsense/mylist.txt      works ok ----Test Group 2---- using domain                            h-t-t-p://mydomain.co.uk/pfsense/mylist.txt                                  Fails. using www.domain                  h-t-t-p://www.mydomain.co.uk/pfsense/mylist.txt                        Fails. ----Test Group 3---- ping  domain                      ping mydomain.co.uk                                  resolves ok. ping  www.domain              ping www.mydomain.co.uk                        resolves ok. Test group 1 all point to internal IP of webserver.... these all work so internal DNS lookup fine. Test group 2 all point to WAN IP of router.... these all fail when used from the router console. Test group 3 all point to WAN IP of router.... these all work ok when used from the router console ping. **Moment of Inspiration! Added "www" as a host pointing to the internal lan ip of the webserver in the DNS forwarder. I can now resolve www.mydomain.co.uk to the internal ip of the web server.** I think the key here is that the web server uses host headers to identify the website to access. it expects to see "www.mysite.co.uk" in full. so "mysite.co.uk" will not return a result. hence the first test in group 2 failed and now works with "www" added. pfsense now resolves www as an internal ip and at the same time has the full correct host header. If this had not of worked my next step would have been.. Setup DNS to return a different result internally to externally, split-horizon DNS as BBcan177 suggested. found this in the forum if this helps anyone…. https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Why_can%27t_I_access_forwarded_ports_on_my_WAN_IP_from_my_LAN/OPTx_networks%3F Thank you very much for the info and advice... very much helped keep the brain cells working. Thank you all. 18gr .22 800fps  ::)

    Disclaimer: I have not thought for a moment about FreeRadius and what the actual changes are here. Principle: This is an Open Source project. The project code is on GitHub https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense and https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages If you are into gory backend code and OS patches, there is also pfsense-tools for which there is an extra hoop to jump for access. It is very easy to create a GitHub account if you do not already have one. Then for small things you do not need to install Git on your own device, just use the GitHub web interface. Drill down to the file in question, click the pencil to edit, make your changes, put a decent title and description of what and why it is "a good thing", save, press the button to make a pull request. Those in charge of reviewing will be nice to you on your first try (I hope)

    @laterdaze: Indeed, the max table entries was set to 300K, a hold over from pfBlocker tuning no doubt.  Setting it to 2M resolved the memory allocation problem.  Specifying the list action as "Deny Both" causes the packets count to increase to something more like what I was seeing with pfBlocker. Again, thanks for all that… Glad you got it all sorted out  :)  .. Pls read this thread to see if you really need "Deny Both/Deny Inbound" Rules. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg501258#msg501258

    I'm setting up a network to help with some training and I've just spent all day trying to figure out how to allow traffic only from the UK to the OpenVPN port. Finally figured it out thanks to your screen grab doktornotor  ;D pfSense has a bit of steep learning curve for me but I'm getting there. Hopefully the new book will be out soon, I better start saving. I've just registered to show my appreciation so I'll extend my thanks to BBCan177, the pfSense team and all contributors to these boards and the wiki. Keep up the good work guys, it's certainly appreciated  8)

  • FreeRADIUS: Firewall rules required for proxy?

    ?
    Solved. In answer to the question, there are no special firewall rules required.  RADIUS authenticates over port 1812 (accounting is 1813) and the proxy listener that proxy messages are sent from is listening on port 1814 (there is a port 1816 for service status requests, but it does not appear to be necessary).  Since the proxy listener initiates the request from the pfSense installation, no outbound rule is required on the VLAN#2 interface, and no special inbound rules are required for the response. As to what was wrong, if you are going to setup a proxy.conf file on your pfSense installation, make sure you add a proxy interface entry under interfaces. It seems that by default the FreeRADIUS implementation puts the proxy listener on the first interface address that is not the localhost.  In my case it placed it on the 10.1.1.1 address for VLAN#1 as that was the first entry under the interfaces list.  Do not try to use src_ipaddr in proxy.conf, it won't stop the default listener setup, and will typically result in the listener from this setting being assigned to a random port each time the RADIUS service is started. Without the proxy interface entry, although the kernel routes the requests to the correct interface, it doesn't do anything to check the validity of the source IP for the interface listening address (apparently a well known issue).  As a result, it was sending the packets out on to VLAN#2 from 10.1.2.1, but since the listener was on 10.1.1.1, the packets went out with the wrong IP address. I now have a working FreeRADIUS proxy on my pfSense interfaces, with the actual authentication handled by a Kerberized RADIUS installation within a DMZ VLAN. Regards, Rob.
