    I am new to using Snort in a Netgate router with pfSense. In the Snort settings under alerts I am seeing notice like this: 2025-09-08 16:34:17 1 UDP Attempted User Privilege Gain 37.60.141.158 47167 195.252.###.### 9034 1:58853 SERVER-OTHER RealTek UDPServer command injection attempt Does this mean that someone from 37.60.141.158 tried to login to my router or is trying to log in to my router? Does SNORT block this attempt? or How do I block this attempt? There is nothing showing up in my BLOCKED list. Will snort ONLY block these IP's if I have "Block Offenders" checked? If yes, should I use legacy mode or inline mode? My understanding is that if I use legacy mode all rules will be enabled and any alerts will be automatically blocked right? If I use inline mode, then NO rules will be automatically blocked and I would have to enable the action for that rule for it to be blocked, right? If I use inline mode, how do I enable a rule? Right now I just have a yellow triangle under the action for this rule. How do I know which rules is snort using? Under WAN Categories, If I choose balance, NONE of the rulesets (Categories) shown at the bottom are checked?

    @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.

Have no clue to what could be above that making those moot.. Are those on the same interface even? You have 2 rules with vlan2 subnets as source, and another rule with vlan1 as source.. How would both networks be source into the same interface? Seems you got it sorted so that is good, but next time you need help a picture of your rules showing the interface they are on, etc. is worth 10k words..

    @kaioh84 Hey guys, Some time ago, I encountered the same issue. To resolve it, I installed "awscli" using Python version 3.11. To fix this, you need to install the package with the following command: pkg install py311-setuptools-63.1.0_1 After that, apply the "rehash" command. Follow these steps: rehash Then, execute the following command to install awscli: python3.11 -m pip install awscli That's it! Now, it should be configured as you desire. In my case, I configured it for the s3 bucket. These steps were executed on Pfsense 2.7.2 running version 14 of FreeBSD.

    @Nyxtorm Yes, I had the same feeling; perhaps the best thing is to have the TVs in the same VLAN. In the end, I switched to OpenWRT; I find it better for home use.

    @detox To be clear, what I meant was that I don't know if the new pfSense-pkg-ntopng version is in the pfSense community repo yet. You should check in System / Package Manager. GeoIP will not work until a new version of pfSense-pkg-ntopng is installed because the old version does not provide the Login ID. [MaxMind now requires a Login ID as well as the License Key. There are several posts discussing this in the forum.]

    @vanwinkle-rip, thanks for posting this! The log suggested to make that change but didn't specify where. You pointed in the right direction. Do you or anyone else know how to make this change permanent? Any changes in the GUI revert the changes. Maybe we can create an eap.local file or something like this?
