    @firefox I don’t think so, to be honest with you I am on an older version also. Just make sure you do the patch package and install all the system patches.

    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.

    @jrey said in pfBlockerNG syslog logentries to remote SIEM: @keyser I so want to answer this, but then at the same time (no I don't) ... pfblocker using syslog messaging in real time. no tailing of files, no other packages, just code. Huuuh? That seems very very interesting I noticed your name in other posts around the forum where you seemed to be QUITE proficient at coding/developing. Are you by any chance considering involvement in developing and refining the pfBlockerNG package? It would be SO great if you are looking into adding native syslog to the pfBlockerNG package - or an easy workaround that does not require additional packages and “temporary” edits in files that does not survive service restarts or pfSense updates. Here’s that you will fill me/us in on the solution you are using to your Greylog - please, pretty please with sugar on top

    @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.

    @yobyot I've SSHed into pfsense and for the sake of testing I've simply run the command: tailscale up --auth-key=tskey-client-kQ_THE_REST_IS_A_SECRET\?preauthorized=true\&ephemeral=false --accept-dns=false --accept-routes --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=X.X.X.X/24 --advertise-tags=tag:pfsense Note the preauthorized=true and ephemeral=false I gave this key all permissions (temporarly as I just wanted to verify it's working) of course I had to register the tag used also in the ACL tags pane: https://login.tailscale.com/admin/acls/visual/tags so far so good

    Same here. It started after I installed 25.07. Then it settled down by itself after a few days. It started again after upgrading to 25.07.1. WireGuard works fine (it merely connects to the remote site from this one). However, I am refraining from upgrading the remote, because if the 'service' does not start, I fear it will not listen to incoming connections, which would leave me in a difficult situation. The other topic I had opened before finding this: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/198449/25.07-release-amd64-wireguard-service-reported-stopped-yet-tunnel-trafic-clearly-is-ok

    Thank you for the reply but I found what was the problem. In the Interface / Lan menu, I had the IPv4 configuration type set to "Track Interface" for some reasons. I set it to "None" and the rules got automatically added in the Firewall/Rules section after enabling pfBlocker.

    Have you tried setting the logging option to either "Encode" or "Allow" ? strip: The whitespace characters are stripped out of the URL. This is the behavior recommended by RFC2396. deny: The request is denied. The user receives an "Invalid Request" message. allow: The request is allowed and the URI is not changed. The whitespace characters remain in the URI. encode: The request is allowed and the whitespace characters are encoded according to RFC1738. chop:The request is allowed and the URI is chopped at the first whitespace. With "squid3-dev" you could try with "forwarded_for transparent" typed into "Custom ACLS (Before_Auth)" field (and with the "Disable X-Forward" not selected off course.)

    I don't have a theory to explain what caused the out-of-memory message.  If this was a single event, it may just have been due to the phase of the moon relative to the spontaneous decay of a Higgs boson …  ;). If, on the other hand, it is a repeatable error for you, then some further investigation is called for.  I assume from the info provided in your first post this is a pfSense 2.2-BETA box.  Do you have any other packages running besides Snort?

    @wbennett77: I have Snort Alerts added on my Dashboard but it doesn't show the most recent alerts. Is this normal? Cheers! The Dashboard widget should show the most recent alerts, but it shows a composite consisting of all interfaces.  So if you have Snort enabled on LAN and WAN, and the "lines to display" in the widget set for 5, then it will show the 5 most recent alerts without regard to interface.  Stated another way, if the WAN had the most recent 5 alerts, then the widget would only show those. It would not show any of the LAN alerts if they were older than the most 5 recent WAN alerts.  The reverse is also true. Bill

    I've found Snorby to get the rule text right most of the time.  Glad you found that rules setting.  I forgot to point it out.  If you find out something from your other queries that you think needs changing in the Snort and Suricata packages with respect to Barnyard2, post back here or send me a PM.

    Hi, Thanks, my switches do support RADIUS, so I will see about switching that on. I was kind of expecting that pfSense would have the same kind of support for enabling RADIUS for any connectivity to it, maybe that was an incorrect assumption. Regards, Rob.
