    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: its made up of multiple sources so it does make sense that it resolves some of these weird private hosts An public NTP pool like pool.ntp.org would not list host names with weird random paddings that reference local devices. "domaincontroller-gPHvwjYS.local,192.168.1.86" is a reverse PTR, and is requested by one of your local devices. Why , I don't know. @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: I find them in pfblockerNG dns_reply log under Logs No URLs there, only host names.

    @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.

    @EChondo What's your pfSense version ? The instructions are shown here : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png] A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate. @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy: I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess. No need to wait x days. You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    @totalimpact Tailscale 1.54.0 is 2+ years out of date. Tailscale has made quite a number of changes since Tailscale 1.54.0, likely rendering it incompatible with their servers. I would consider manually updating the Tailscale FreeBSD package. FreshPorts does not maintain an archive of all the releases, only the latest compiled by the volunteer maintainers. The key to manually upgrading is knowing which FreeBSD version your pfSense release is running, i.e. 14 or 15. You can following along here.

    This is still an issue as of 2.8.0 / 25.07, and it drives me crazy. Gateway failure works as expected, the wireguard tunnels will fail over to the backup gateway and continue on as normal, but will never recover once the failed gateway comes back online. While a reboot will (usually) fix it, I usually just go into my routing settings and mark the secondary gateway as down, forcing it to revert back to the primary... the users tend to dislike it when I reboot the firewall in the middle of the day

    Ah, sorry. For a moment, I thought you were asking to scan the packet stream.  I agree with P3R in that ClamAV isn't that great.  I gave up on it when it was killing our performance, and we already have client/server protection.  Managing an AV service infrastructure isn't simple or cheap, and I can't imagine any FOSS project being able to keep up with the big boys in that regard.

    @mattlach: @mattlach: @DaveQB: Running: pfSense 2.1 bandwidthd 2.0.1_5 pkg v.0.3 My solution was. [root@pfsense /usr/local/www]# rm bandwidthd [root@pfsense /usr/local/www]# ln -s /usr/local/bandwidthd/htdocs/ bandwidthd The symlink was originally pointing to /usr/pbi/bandwidthd-i386/bandwidthd/htdocs Hmm… This did not help for me. It replaced my "Please start bandwidthd to populate this directory." message with a "404 - Not Found" page :( Any suggestions? Never mind, I was being an idiot. Looks like this was fixed, but I was getting th emessage because I actually DID forget to start bandwidth d.  Then I moved the symlink to the - now - incorrect location. I found the correct one in /usr/pbi/bandwidthd-amd64/bandwidthd/htdocs/, and recreated the symlink and now everything works. :p Ahh I see. Well I hope I put you on the right track with my post.

    Well, glad you found what breaks it, but in order to fix it, you have to understand how it breaks it - either by changing routing or by blocking via pf… That I can't probably help you - I do not use OpenVPN. However - if that is the only thing being blocked, you can always temporarily stop tunnel to check updates as the last resort :)

    @reza.mnp: thanks this problem solved automatically after several hour. Glad it's working.  If you had a brand new just purchased code, it may have taken a little while for it to work its way through the Snort VRT web site systems such that rules download server recognized it.  That's just a guess, though.

    Yep, the header that was causing monoprice to fail was actually "X-Forwarded-For: Unknown".  I wasn't allowing IP leakage, but I was trying to get dansguardian to pass the orig ip to squid.  Squid was setting it to Unknown before making requests. I'm using dansguardian & squid together, so if you want squid to be able to use traffic buckets to limit per IP you have to pass through the information somehow.  Or if you want any other Squid ACL's to work.  http://dansguardian.org/?page=faq#c1

    Hi all, I had a similar problem after updating and tried the reinstall approach. What I found was that I had to go back into ntop settings and set a new admin password. After I did this, the service started normally. Cheers, Toby

    I had a question/request. The pfblocker dashboard widget conveniently shows the status of the block list as well as a packet count of hits. This is very valuable for determining what is happening as far as blocks. But it resets quite often automatically which prevents me from seeing over a long period of time what block lists are being hit. Anyway to prevent it from resetting, except when I want to clear it?
