    @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.

    Interesting.  I've used this panel at work (Linux system, userland driver code to talk to it over Linux dev ttyACM*), never played around with it on BSD (no need to), but this has me curious.  I'll have to see if I can borrow one for a bit.  Your snippet from the syslog looks like they did something similar. /dev/ugen**** may be a lower level than the TTY driver (ugen, USB Generic), if you do "ls -ltr /dev | grep ugen" you may see a TTY device symlinked to the ugen one, that's what I would use first. Which it looks like you have (/dev/ttyU0). I'll have to look at the info I've got at work, LEDs should be able to work, just a matter of if the package has code to manipulate them.

    When you enable "Suppression" in the General tab, the "+" icon should appear in the Alerts Tab beside the Blocked IP address. Maybe you can use the "Adv Inbound Settings" for those Open Ports : https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg524957#msg524957 For the Whitelist, be careful with Permit Inbound or Permit Both… You only want to use those if you set the specific ports and destination Lan IP addresses that is allowed to enter from the WAN. Otherwise you are allowing those IPs to bypass any other Firewall rules in the WAN Firewall tab. Rules are processed top to bottom...

    @bmeeks: Same thought processes apply for any list.  Do you want to selectively allow some packets based on their source IP, and let the default block handle everything else; or do you want to have an "allow from any source IP" on the WAN rule and let the firewall check each packet IP against a bunch of IPs on a bunch of lists to see if it should in reality block the traffic. I, and some others on here, recommend the former approach.  Use smaller "allow" lists in conjunction with the default block. However, I'm not trying to change your mind.  You seem to have formed an opinion for how you want to do it, so do it that way and don't fret over it. Bill No, I'm using the package as recommended in the documentation and common sites that offer instructions. I asked, in the initial post, for comments from people who knew what I did and covered the same territory. The info on the lists was vague. The country blocking is really in your face in the package and appears to be recommended. Thus my questions for actual package users, as opposed to people who have opinions but no direct experience. Thanks, though, for the alias info, I intend to study it closely.

    @PiBa: It seems to me it depends a lot on how active a package is maintained That's the bulk of the answer there. Also depends on what necessitated the update in the package itself. Updates for security reasons get updated packages quickly. Outside of that, "it depends", primarily on who's the maintainer. Sometimes a package being outdated means it's abandoned, but in other cases like haproxy as PiBa mentioned, it's more a factor of "it ain't broke, don't fix it."

    OpenOSPFd has been gone for a while. It was very broken, rarely worked properly, and hadn't been maintained in years. If you need OSPF, use quagga.

    Since this doesn't seem to be a priority, shouldn't it be removed from the package list for 2.2?
