2.5.7.

I havent had the time to load the 2.5.8 yet since I am fooking busy at work!

Get back to you soon Bill when I get to do that. But problems are on 2.5.7!

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.domain.com/

The following error was encountered:

•Read Error
The system returned:

(54) Connection reset by peer
…...
....

For this  error you can just exclude the domain from caching it works fine..

Alright!! Phil you were correct. That worked for the first script. The second one I managed to get working (somehow with the tee command). I ended up using:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/curl ifconfig.me/ip|tee /tmp/vpn_external

Now I am on to the final command, I have tinkered with it for about 2 hours, and I can get it to output a file, but the file only contains  {}  , usually it would have the port inside the brackets, ex. {45000}. Currently I am using the following command (the X's represent my username and password. If I enter the command into shell, it does work) I tried using the full path to both cat commands (and without) but no go:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/curl -o /tmp/portforwardlist -d "user=XXXXX&pass=XXXXX&client_id=$(/bin/cat ~/.pia_config)&local_ip=$(/bin/cat /tmp/vpn_ip)" https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/vpninfo/port_forward_assignment

ALMOST THERE

Thanks for that information. And thanks for the tip. I added that custom main.cf options. I will continue testing and see if things improve.

@drzoidberg33:

I have a similar issue - automated report never send. I am trying to do a daily report with a few rrd graphs. It works fine if I click send now but the automation doesn't work. I have also tried selecting the blank option in the "Day of the week" field but it always reverts to Sunday when I save, maybe this is the issue?

Here is a screengrab of the settings for this report:

Nevermind, I see where I went wrong. The hour wasn't set, I mistakenly assumed it would just send at midnight.

You can install Pfflowd and have it send data to another server.

Prtg is free on windows for 20 sensors/users. If you stick there add banner on your site I think you can get 20 or 30 more free sensors.
The full version runs free for 30 days. Lots of data.

Nfsen I think is one for linux. Look up flow collector and you will find several for linux.

Thanks for the information, I can't wait for that feature in 2.2.  ;D

Since my email provider doesn't use the SSL authentication for the SMTP, I check the "Enable SSL/TLS Authentication" so that the box cannot send the notifications and only uncheck it if I want to send the RRD.
It is like a manual sending of the graphs. But much better than manually copying each graph to paint/word processor. :D

Thank you jim. Everything seems to be in place and I'm installing it now.

sorry for the necro post, but this issue still is around and I wanted to post my workaround.

It seems pfsense is setting up clamav with a non-default location for its socks and pid file (/var/run).  The default location is /var/run/clamav.  But when the scanning program is called by the gui, it's not given the path of the config file and doesn't know about the location of the sock file.  This creates a symlink as a work around.

I'm not sure if the pid file is needed, but I linked it anyway.

And it now works.

It's on acls. you whitelist based on error you got from remote server

From remote server? Sending server or recieving server?

Enable log and follow instructions on first gui tab.

I assume my log is enbabled because I selected Destination: SystemLog. Or is there another place to enable ti?

First GUI tab is the General tab. Settings are as followed
Enabled Postfix: Checked
Listen Interface: WAN
Maximum message size: blank
Process Limit: Blank
Custom main.cd options: blank
Logging
Destination: SystemLog
Updaters sqlite: every minute
debug peer list: blank
debug peer level: 2
Widget Options

Max File size: blank

your session has expired.

logon again on pfsense and it will work.

@hansrotec:

an unrelated Q/A does ssd/HDD matter much in terms of performance for pfsense. right now i had a spare ssd laying around but due to its size it seems a waste to have it in the current setup.

You will probably get a better answer to your ssd/HDD question in the Hardware thread.  I personally run an old SATAII 40 GB drive in my home firewall.  It is a Supermicro small-form factor server with an Intel Atom 330 with 4 GB of RAM.  My Internet connection (12 megabits/sec cable modem service) can't come close to breaking it into a sweat.  The only advantage of ssd is no moving parts and a little less heat.

@Supermule:

After a reinstall of Snort, then everything is fine.

That error looks like perhaps you got hold of a corrupted rules file for the preprocessor text rules.  Can you tell if this coincided with an automatic rules update?  That file (decoder.rules) is used straight out of the archive downloaded and unpacked from Snort.org.  It is updated on each download of fresh rules from Snort.org.  My guess is either a borked download of the TAR file from Snort.org, or perhaps during the extraction and copying to the interface directory on the firewall it got trashed.

A reinstall of Snort would have wiped the existing file and downloaded a fresh copy.

Strange, from my 2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Wed May 22 08:31:46 EDT 2013 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p8
I can install the package, but still not on the 2.0.3. Other packages work.

I tried deleting the "rrd" folder but now it won't generate graphs at all.. just a broken image icon. It DID recreate the folder though. Wish I knew how to completely wipe ntop and start over…
