    Hi, I upgraded my pfSense to 25.07-RELEASE and with it also pfBlockerNG to 3.2.7, but now the pfb_dnsb service no longer starts... I tried a “force_update” and reboots. I also tried reinstalling pfBlockerNG. When starting the service manually with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pfb_dnsbl.sh start I get 025-08-05 18:17:28: (/wrkdirs/usr/ports/www/lighttpd/work/lighttpd-1.4.76/src/network.c.604) bind() 10.255.255.254:443: Can't assign requested address 10.255.255.254 is the DNSBL Webserver address... Any ideas? Thx! :)

    @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.

    Hi again, to be honest: I guess, I did not remember exactly what I did 2 years ago. May I was mistaken by the interface name opt2 because the SG-3100 has a physical port OPT1 and I mixed up physical and virtual names. The goal was to use 2 different tunnels, one for the mobile clients and one for the site-2-site connection. And now all is running in that way . Regards

    If anyone is running postfix and doesn't find this too fugly ;) I found this about how to whitelist Google servers: Comparing the list of subnets to one seen in another thread (now lost) it seems they haven't changed in over a year.  Not too surprising, since they are pretty big subnets. Paste the following into Services > Postfix Forwarder > Access Lists > Client Access Lists > CIDR: # Google IPv4 addresses 64.18.0.0/20 permit 64.233.160.0/19 permit 66.102.0.0/20 permit 66.249.80.0/20 permit 72.14.192.0/18 permit 74.125.0.0/16 permit 173.194.0.0/16 permit 207.126.144.0/20 permit 209.85.128.0/17 permit 216.239.32.0/19 permit # Google IPv6 addresses 2001:4860:4000::/36 permit 2404:6800:4000::/36 permit 2607:f8b0:4000::/36 permit 2800:3f0:4000::/36 permit 2a00:1450:4000::/36 permit 2c0f:fb50:4000::/36 permit Haven't been able to find anything similar for HotMail but no one I know uses it anyway  :)

    Hello again  :) I've just improved to the procedure for installing Finch on pfSense. Now more resilient to upgrading of the pfSense host system. Before these changes, the Finch boot scripts could be wiped away after pfSense upgrade. Now, the only manual thing a user needs to do after upgrading pfSense, is restore their "fstab" file from a Backup. But it's very easy and full instructions are given. All new installation procedure is documented on Finch's website: http://dreamcat4.github.io/finch/install/ Other improvements: Better handling of admin user accounts. The presence of a temporary file "$finch_realpath/var/db/finch/installing…" now allows a simple way to query Finch's installation progress (i.e. "not installed, installing, installed"). (Useful for pfSense pkg makers).

    What is the difference between Suricata and snort ?

    @firefox: I understand that they both IDS/IPS Daemon What is the difference between them ? Nothing really except two different vendors.  Snort is an open-source version of the IDS engine used by Sourcefire.  Suricata is a totally open-source effort partially funded by the U.S. Government and some private companies.  Well, technically Suricata is funded by the Open Information Security Foundation, but they get funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and others.  Here is a link describing Suricata:  https://www.openinfosecfoundation.org/index.php/download-suricata.  Suricata is multi-threaded and should theoretically scale better in very high throughput networks.  However, extensive testing by the Snort guys and some independents shows there really is not much difference in the packet throughput in real-world networks between Snort and Suricata. In the end it comes down to personal preference.  Currently Suricata captures and logs a little bit more "context" around alerts, but Snort is catching up in this area. Bill

    Snort/Barnyard2 interface via Stunnel

    @wq6n: pfSense 2.1.3 Snort 2.9.6 Barnyard2 ? Stunnel 4.43.0 Unified2 feed from Snort remains constant on all sensors First off, thank you for such a great software security suite of tools. Pointing several Snort IDS sensors to a remote MYSQL server using a common port (lets call it TCP 3333). Created the Stunnel cert at the remote server using: openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config stunnel.cnf -out stunnel.pem -keyout stunnel.pem I did not create the Diffie-Hellman 'openssl gendh 512 >> stunnel.pem' as I did not see anything in the pfSense Barnyard2 configuration that suggested integration. However the other native Stunnel relationships do support the DH key. All Stunnel connections are in place and operational to the remote MYSQL server. I did have to go into the working pfSense Barnyard2.conf and append [port = 3333] to the MYSQL line. The remote Stunnel takes the incoming port TCP 3333 feeds and port forwards the data streams to the local TCP 3306 MYSQL listener. Restarting the Snort interface everything comes up and the remote end does see the incoming connection from the pfSense Snort application. My challenge is that Barnyard2 stops working and the connection is closed after a while. The Native feeds from the other remote Snort senors remain functional. Any ideas on keeping the Barnyard2 application running? Do you see any Barnyard2 related messages in the system log on the pfSense side?  The latest Barnyard2 binary seems to have a problem with multiple instances concurrently accessing the same SQL DB.  This usually manifests itself with a "duplicate key" error written to the pfSense system log. The fix, if you have this error, is to choose only one Barnyard2 instance to update the References table.  There is a checkbox to handle this on the BARNYARD tab in Snort. Bill

    Squid Authentication - Almost there…but not yet

    Final Update & Closing: My settings: LDAP base domain: cn=Users,dc=ads,dc=example,dc=local LDAP username DN attribute: samAccountName LDAP search filter: (&(memberOf=CN=InternetUsers,CN=Users,DC=ads,DC=example,DC=local)(sAMAccountName=%s)) AD structure: Container: Users > squid, test, administrator Other Containers (OU): OU Main             –- OU1 --- User1             --- OU2 --- User2 All these users have been added to security group (global) named InternetUsers and this group resides in the "Users" container. I am able to verify three users - test, squid, and administrator which are in Users container; but I am not able to authenticate User1 and User2 which are placed elsewhere in AD even though they are members of InternetUsers group. I conclude that the search is limited to one level only. So either I have to find a way to provide multiple Base Domain values, or find a way to make the search query recursive. Both would perhaps require me to directly edit the .inc file. I am not planning to do it and will leave it at that. I would rather create local users in Squid and now focus on learning SquidGuard. Thanks

    Never mind, I figured out the problem… it was Snort getting in the way. I had disabled Snort as part of my routine checks; but forgot to clear the blocks it had put into place. ::) Once the blocks were cleared and with Snort temporarily disabled Lightsquid installed just fine. :)

    I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish… For each group in Dansguardian (you can only create 3) you can specify multiple things (and I'm sure I will miss some). 1.) What sites are blocked based on a blacklist (plus allows via a whitelist) for URL's and sites 2.) PIC's based blocking 3.) Block rules based on weighted phrases in the content 4.) Grey list of sites that are allowed as long as they don't violate phrase blocking 5.) URL rewrite rules 6.) Content rewrite rules 7.) Blocking timeframes You can assign users to groups either by using an authentication mechanism (there are several) or by IP address.
