    @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.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    @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.

    After 20 days varnish goes belly up. Will be removing squid and squidGuard to see what difference it makes. There is no love between those three. BTW does anybody have pfBlocker, pfflowd, squid, squidGuard and Varnish installed and stable on pfs 2.0.1?

    @heper: check if your logs are located in /var/squid/log or logs (i have different boxes with different version and it seems its one or the other) other then that its possible that there is a problem with multiple perl versions. for a solution search the forum or ask the devs because i'm not going to advice you how to destroy your firewall :) My log file location is /var/squid/log. What can I do?

    @marcelloc: if you do not have any service published on wan, then no need to use pfblocker for inbound restriction. Excellent point!  Thanks again!

    I don't expect this being fix until IP6v6 is fully implemented in pfSense. But wanted it to be known, that snort is ignoring IPV6 addresses and/or subnets when they are added to NETLIST and WHITELIST it seems. I'm thinking this is probably a snort issue and not pfSense since it is in the conf file looks right… Still re-searching tho..

    squid2 and squidguard is working stable. squid3 and squidguard is probably working stable, too but you need to first intall squidguard and after that squid3. Blocking facebook.com: Remember that squid in transparent mode is only filtering http traffic. If someone uses https://www.facebook.com this will not be filtered and so squidguard cannot block this. To filter and block https traffic your squid needs to run in non-transparent mode. Another possibility would be to create a host-alias and put facebook.com in this alias. Then pfsense will regularly check and resolve the IPs to this DNS entry. Now create a firewall rule and put this alias as destination ip and select "block" for this rule. you have to place this rule on top of all other firewall rules.

    Thanks for the info! I copied and pasted the info over the existing file (not sure if there is a better method to for this) and it appears to be working now. Tried restarting the service = worked. Tried stopping and then starting = works. I believe that did it. :) Cheers!

    Marcelloc, tried it but failed. Strange, because found that solution to in other posts. Like stated above. Only solution for me was installing the normal squid via the packages and then "upgrading" o Squid3! Do mind that I indeed did a manual install of the Perl package. Thx a lot for the support!

    Thanks for the reply. Two questions, ps aux is not returning the command line params for the avahi daemon. Is there something I'm missing? This is all I see in the ps output. avahi  58773 100.0  0.3  6112  2948  ??  RNs  24May12 15368:26.33 avahi-daemon: running [rooter.local] (avahi-daemon) Another thing I noticed is that the rooter name is not correct. In the ps output it is showing rooter.local (default for pf) but it is not what is there in the configuration. In some of the issues related to the "Invalid query packet" error they mention that the .local domain may be the cause. I'm assuming that the browse domain and deny interfaces are passed as arguments? Is it possible that these are written to a config file and it is not being read/passed correctly on service startup? I'll keep poking around, I just thought I'd put this here first. Thanks again.
