    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.

    Hi all, I wanted to share that I’m also experiencing issues with Tailscale (v1.86.4) on the latest pfSense CE (v2.8.0). After either a pfSense reboot or a Tailscale service restart, my node is logged out of Tailscale — exactly as many of you have described here. It bothered me enough that I opened a support ticket with the Tailscale team. I explained the problem, included details, and linked this thread as a reference. The good news is that support responded quickly and said they’re setting up a pfSense VM to reproduce the issue. In the meantime, they suggested a workaround: “Based on the behavior described here and in the thread, it looks like the auth key used for authentication may be expiring. Since OAuth clients don’t expire, switching to an OAuth Client rather than an Auth Key might resolve this. See our docs here: https://tailscale.com/kb/1215/oauth-clients#registering-new-nodes-using-oauth-credentials I tested this, and after configuring Tailscale with OAuth, everything worked! Tailscale now stays connected and authenticated even after a reboot or service restart. That said, I did tell support that while OAuth solves the issue, it used to work out of the box with the simpler interactive login / auth key flow. Something seems to have changed on the Tailscale side, and I hope they identify and fix it. But until then, the OAuth workaround is a solid fix. I’d love to hear how it’s working for the rest of you. Anyone else try OAuth yet? Cheers

Note that the // in http:// is not matched because http:// is not considered in the filter. The / in the regexp prevent it from matching a .com domain when accessing it directly - like www.domain.com. So the filter blocks: www.example.org/index.php?redirect=http://www.site2.com but not www.site2.com (./..(asf|wm|3gp|ogg|aac|apk|big|bik|exe|com|bat|ogv|flp|cam|fla|mkv|mov|mp4|rm|yuv|wma|wmv|cab|mp3|avi|mpg|swf|mpeg|mp.|mpv|wm.|vpu))

    Ok I got you ! I have a server with 3 HDDs configured as RAID 0, I've set up my server to 40 MBytes for the Maximum Object Size to cache all files under 40 MBytes, and it didn't show any sign of slowness nor a sign of saturated Disk … so I guess that's an almost optimal configuration for my server :)

    @KOM: OK, the GUI allows you to set everything to 0, but it doesn't allow you to not specify a cache_dir.  I'll play with it and check the logs.  Thanks for the help. Check resulting squid.conf, withot cache, it points to /dev/null IIRC.

    So I added IP to Unrestricted field and nothing happen … By 'nothing happens', you mean that the admin user is still being blocked from some domains?  BTW I used to use Transparent mode but I found that it was a major hassle trying to filter HTTPS, so I switched to non-Transparent mode with WPAD.  So much better, everything works and easier to control to do what you want.

    Try squid3.  If you want to stay on Squid2, you could check your logs at /var/squid/logs/cache.log and see what's going on.

    All countries are permitted by default. On the top 20, you still have to select the countries on the list. I could be me, but how would that make sense? @switchman: @BBcan177, Thanks for the info, I will go back an read the full thread to see how to enable your recommendation to ". I would also recommend that you look at the pfBlockerNG thread and reverse your approach for blocking all countries (except for a few) and change that to a "Permit" certain countries instead. " I am new to pfSense and it takes a while to get an handle on it and all of the packages that can be utilized and how they work.

    Uninstalled, reinstalled, same issues.  Preferences aren't sticky, constant errors to syslog server, uninstalled until it's more compatible with 2.2R.  Worked great with 2.1.5R, was very nice while it lasted.

    @floz: Ok, phew, found the culprit. It seems that the issue arises only when I have Application ID Detection enabled (in the snort device's pre-processor tab). If I disable it, then the warnings go away and the events are correctly logged to the DB. And indeed, this post confirms this. Now, it would still be great to use the pre-processor and resulting app-stats. Is there a way of using it, but without setting the appid_event_types option on the output unified2 statement? Thanks for any comments / insights! I don't believe so.  The APP ID preprocessor apparently is logging events to the Unified2 file whenever APP ID is enabled.  Barnyard2 looks to be choking on those events.  This is an upstream problem for the Barnyard2 and Snort folks to sort out. Bill
