    @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.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    @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.

    The only entry in /etc/crontab is shown in the original post.  There is no expiretable entry.  I remember that used to be present in my snort installs in the 1.1 days. So snort is still using cron to expire rules?  I must have been mistaken that the expire mechanism was changed.

    @hoba: Frickin never worked the way we wanted it to work but ermal is working on a new patch for pptp that hopefully will fix pptp once and for all without the need of a package. This will be the best solution… I hope that this patch will be ready soon.

    @submicron: I hate to be that guy but you realize that the urlblacklist isn't free for download and that they expect you, on your honor, to pay for it, right?  If you are just blindly downloading and using it, especially for a commercial endeavor, you are most certainly violating their terms of service. Hi Submicron Good point, and yes, I AM paying for it, payed for 6 months right away :-) It is used for my home setup, to protect my children, but it's a very relevant point to emphasize that it's a service you should pay for!

    I wish I knew what the difference is… I am planning to convert to "PBX in a Flash" soon to see if it will fix issues I am having with poor sound quality on IAX calls but I get occasional one-way audio with SIP and pfSense. the interesting thing is that the one-way audio goes away after about 10 seconds and it works for a little bit and then I get it again. The 10 seconds appears to be related to the externrefresh=10 setting. BTW... I am using voipstreet for SIP and IAX but I had the same one-way audio problems with Broadvoice a year or so ago. Mike

    With only Exploit and BAckdoor rules, snort still crashes. It can work without "core dumping" between 1 and 4 days. What I have seen is that snort does not give the right amount of ram in the logs : "Ram free BEFORE starting Snort: 166M – Ram free AFTER starting Snort: 166M "  Or "Ram free BEFORE starting Snort: 67M -- Ram free AFTER starting Snort: 67M "  just restarted ten minutes ago: "SnortStartup[29480]: Ram free BEFORE starting Snort: 112M – Ram free AFTER starting Snort: 112M -- Mode ac-sparsebands -- Snort memory usage:" I have 2GB on that machine!!!! Any clue ?

    @wompy: good point, that might be a pain. I guess I could just cut and paste the data from blk_spyware and place that in a new destination. My main objective is to block the spyware category, but since most of it is ads on websites, I want it to look transparent to the users. If you use HTTP WebGIU & Internal redirection, possible another way - modification /usr/local/www/sgerror.php. SG sent many information to redirected page http://10.62.0.3/sgerror.php?url=404&a=%a&n=%n&i=%i&s=%s&t=%t&u=%u [a] - client address #                [n] - client name #                - client user #                - client group #                [t] - target group #                - client url need checking 't' param with 'blk_spyware' and return redirection to blank Image

    Thx hoba, I read it, the rules are disabled, I've seen it before. Memory consumption has been at ap. 40%, CPU at 10% max Yesterday the machine slowed down the whole traffic, I had to disable snort. Today I will try to analyse if the box itself (no shaping, no ids) is able to handle the traffic. Just NAT some rules and that's it.

    @hoba: Download the config.xml from diagnostics>backup/restore. Edit it with a texteditor that can handle the unix specific textfile (like http://pspad.com). Strip out the section for that package, save and reupload it again (pfSense will reboot). Now pfSense won't know that this package was ever installed. Try to reinstall it. Also make sure your pfSense is on the latest version when working with packages. This makes complete sense and is the solution to my problem. Thinking out of the box! Thank you for the quite response.

    AIM 6 uses a new version of the AIM/ICQ protocol which is not supported by IMSpector. Try an older version of AIM or ICQ and it should work fine.

    I am building something like this. It's already working steady, howver I can't write the webgui pages for it. If anyone is interested we could make a package. I have to questions though, it works with lighthttpd (nog the webgui's) on the outside, is this dangerous? Is there a systemwide variable for the WAN interface, and if pptp is used do their need to be rules added on both the pptp interface and the WAN interface?
