    I have struggled with the log sizes getting too big and then the web pages refusing to list things on them (alerts/blocks pages show empty in UI). Clearing the logs manually instantly fixes the UI issue. I think the problem is the fact that logs can grow quite quickly and that relying on the log rotation can lead to a (very minimal) denial of service type event. I've thought about mucking with how often it rotates but as long as I'm not being legit DDOS'd it is just a nuisance. Suricata still clearly works. The firewall itself clearly works. The only real problem is UI issues when attempting to do a real investigation or troubleshoot. One can work around that manually. Of course somebody will simply say turn suricata off on the external interface. No. Occasionally good research happens there.

    @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.

    @BiloxiGeek said in DNSBL and IPv6: Does it just follow the IPv4 address that is listed above that? In my case it would end up being ::10.0.0.86 Yes. In this specific context that's the notation being used. (Full IPv6 web server address, for reference then, would be: http://[0000:0000:0000:0000:0010:0000:0000:0086]) Nota bene: I use 0.0.0.0 which renders the DNSBL webserver useless and inaccessible, but otherwise returns 0.0.0.0 or ::/NOERROR answers to all blocked lookups.

    @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.

    Yes You can let it auto create sensors ant it should probe and find the servers and make snmp sensors . I think the newest version lets you add credentials so it can probe deeper and bring back more info such as cpu load disk status as well as traffic. Or you can manually add a sensor too a device (pf box) Need to add the device first. and add a filter so so each sensor watches for only 1 IP A simple filter is IP[192.168.2.40] set flow time out too 6 or 10 minutes. But try the auto create wizard first. If you put in the user/pw for the servers you might get all the info you need and more from that.

    So I found the command which the package was using "bsdtar". I created a small script to generate the backup files and set up a cron job to run the backup every evening. Finally I set up rsync to create backed up files of the backup file on a separate server. Backup Script: #/bin/bash cd /home/user/backup mv -v pfsense_backup.tar.gz pfsense_backup_old.tar.gz bsdtar -c -z -f /home/user/backup/pfsense_backup.tar.gz /cf/conf /var/db/rrd /usr/local/bandwidthd /var/squid/logs /var/lightsquid/report Cron Job: 0  2  *  *  *  root  /bin/sh /home/user/pfsense_backup.sh  Hope this helps someone out  :)

    @OldChap: Probably a good thing that I installed 2.0.1 then. Thanks for saving me from some pain  ;D pfsense 2.1 is still in development. So no need to upgrade to 2.1 at the moment - if you do not have time to search for bugs and errors ;)

    Ok, thank you for the clarification.  What if I mounted a USB flash drive on my ALIX board (it has a couple USB ports).  Could I run HAVP from that type of storage?

    I dont know why this caused the issue but i have found to solution for now. Maybe something changed with the update its something i will have to look through to figure out. Solution: Disable IPv6 Disable IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel Maybe the address changed for the tunnel and it was trying to use IPv6 to access the server from my firewall.  Maybe someone more knowledgeable knows why.  Anyways its fixed. Thanks for all the help

    I do not see any errors in the cache logn the or squid.conf. I think it has to do with the default site with the https protocol. When i put there the second url in it, that url works too but not the first. But if you think apche+mod_security will work better? I will wait when you finished it and will test it. Let me now when your finished it. Regards.

    Thanks for your replie, Nachtfalke. But It doesn'work. If I set any page permission to a user, or just one permission (i.e. Dashboard only), also freeradius  page is denied. No luck. Captive portal + Freeradius unusable for my needings. Sorry but, in my opinion, pfSense is then a bad choice for hot-spot management. I think I will setup an external server with freeradius + daloradius + mysql to let a user manage only captive portal pass and not the whole administration of the gateway. Any chance to install daloradius + mysqlserver on pfsense? Thanks g

    I went back to enable the snort p2p rules and deactivated the ET rules. This time the interface did not crash when running a p2p client, but as already described somewhere else, there were bogus alert messages like (http_inspect) HTTP RESPONSE GZIP DECOMPRESSION FAILED - Unknown Traffic (http_inspect) SIMPLE REQUEST - Unknown Traffic for both interfaces I installed (WAN and LAN side). Things are working in a way but something seems to be scrambled.

    2.2.4 version corrects upgrade and cleans it up to be more easy to manage. Please open a different thread for the ioctl.
