    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @Gertjan Thanks for your reply – that’s also my impression. The point is: I don’t really see any lists right now that are actually “maintained” in the sense of being actively cleaned up, checked for dead domains, categorized, etc. That’s why my main interest is more about the demand: Would curated lists really be a game changer for admins? Would they be more helpful than what’s available today, or are most people already using other alternatives? If so, which ones? And from your perspective, what would be your expectation towards “community lists”? (e.g. reliability, update frequency, categories, fewer false positives?)

    @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.

    @HFADmin If it is no Site2Site-VPN then you don't need any gateways in the first place... If that is true but you want to monitor the connection then you could create dummy-gateways just to ping the remote ip-addresses.

    @Deadringers: hmm I think I may have found out what it was… so I upgraded my ESXI guests yesterday to use the VMXNET 3 adapters rather than the e1000 With this meant I had to re apply the config on my 2008r2 DC to the new adapter - here I referenced that the DNS server my DC should use was it's actual IP rather than it's loopback. I think this was some how producing an in correct result as far as snort was concerned? Because now I have changed it to 127.0.0.1 and I am getting no DNS errors. Yep…I don't know all the super secret details of Microsoft AD servers, but I do know the domain controllers want themselves (the loopback address) for DNS.  Glad you got it sorted out. Bill

    @heavy1metal: Quick question for you, since facebook defaults to HTTPS, what configuration setup did you need to do in order to get it to filter HTTPS? Are you using Squid3? Did you just forward 443 > 8080? You can't forward 443. You have to use an explicit proxy config if you want to filter SSL. Even then, Dans cannot filter the content for SSL (the traffic is encrypted) - only block by address.

    @Deadringers: Morning all, I installed Snort and have it setup to run all the rules on the WAN interface…it looks like it's active but how do I know if it's working? I have been to the alerts page and the blocked hosts page on the snort part of the firewall interface but I can't see anything that has been blocked and no alerts? Which leads me to believe either: 1 - It's not working properly and I've done something wrong or 2 - it has detected nothing which needs to trigger a rule. I don't believe that it's number 2 for a second as I have tried to load some "dodgy" sites and downloaded some questionable material as a test into a VM of mine. Thoughts? Ahh right I have it up and running properly now! :) a reboot of the firewall sorted things out and now I can see the logs being generated.

    @rajbps: Hi DigitalDeviant, Just want to be sure the server will be in the main office and the zabbix clients will be installed on the remote locations. All running pfsense. Linking the site to the main site, there is an openvpn site to site link, so each office comes back to the main site but none of them talk to each other. So if the vpn link goes down due to the service stopping on the remote site and the link dies, how will that link start again. is the agent clever and will it restart the link as during that time the server will not be able to contact the agent. Looking forward for your answer on this one. Cheers, raj I believe, in cases where the agent cannot contact the server, it's possible to run the Zabbix Proxy on the same machine. From there you can set the agent to run a custom command to run the start command as well as report that the link went down. Once the Zabbix server gets the information it can send out an email. You may need to give the Zabbix agent elevated permissions. I've never tried this and I don't have a test server to try it on.

    Thanks guys. I addressed the disconnecting problem, it was my hardware. I tried 2.0.3 32-bit and 2.1 beta 32-bit on 2 different J&W MINIX D2550-HD, same issue. When I replaced the motherboard with a Supermicro X9SCA-F, it's all working fine. No disconnection in 3 days.

    @hcoin: Talk about belt-and-suspenders.  Makes me wish each package that was a vm guest that was its own iso/appliance.  As hard as the open source world tries to deal with 'dependency hell' it just never seems to work out of the workbench environment. On 2.1 pbi packages will be much easier… I'm testing firmware upgrade on one of my 3 inbound smtp servers and I it's stuck on upgrade process. I found a mtree process that is "indexing" /usr dir with 60bg of dcc log from mailscanner package. For next 2 boxes upgrade I'll remove these folders before the update and remove all packages as well.

    On squid-cache.org you probably find a description for nearly all config options. An example: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/negative_ttl/ And you have the possibility to check the different values for the different squid versions.

    I can appreciate the difficulty in creating a dynamic whitelist for Snort. Perhaps in the interim a partial solution could be getting the whitelist to at least populate on startup all the IPs from an alias, including those from FQDNs.

    OK - I figured out most of my issues.  For anyone experiencing some of the same maybe this is helpful: Internal redirect issues: The error page is rendered from the same interface as the UI, I found out.  I have squid and squidguard on a few vlan interfaces so that I could isolate the UI and some other devices from what is basically my "mgmt" network subnet.  Because I have FW rules in place to block all traffic from the vlan'ed interfaces to this mgmt network, the page won't render. External URL's not working: While I was changing the settings I was not deleting the browser cache on my iphone between settings changes.  So, I was getting old webpages when hitting the same sites rather than the redirected pages.  So lesson learned is to always delete your cache when testing these different settings!
