    @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.

    @exograpix: When you save the antivirus setting again, it will throw some errors on the top, 1. basically you have to put your host/domain name in the clwarn.cgi url in the first setting. 2. You have to put service file in written on the second error into conf settings 3. You have to delete domain setting mentioned in the third and final line, than press save again. You have to wait for icap to update the clamav file, which is quite dicey , it will take long time depending on your connection. Once updated antivirus will start filtering. Thanks  :) So if my host / domain is www.WaqarUk.com, this I put into clwarn.cgi in the first setting? Then, what is is my "service file" please? How do I do "You have to put service file in written on the second error into conf settings"? I have a cable 50 Mbit connection & I am running Win 7 Ultimate on a i5-2500K, Asus Sabertooth p67 B3, Crucial 480 GB SSD M550 & various mechanical (2 TB & 1TB) hard drives for data, Corsair 16 GB ddr3, Asus 550 Ti GTX & Corsair semi modular 750 Wats power suppy in a fractal design R3 USB 3.0 case.

    why do you have suricata why not use snort? I had service watchdog but I thought it was a bit of overkill. Im guessing its constantly monitoring your services which may cause CPU load maybe try to uninstall it for a day and see how it goes. And don't forget to reboot after (had an issue with squid one time) Also i had ntopng and I went from 26 percent to 60 percent CPU usage. Not sure if softflowd might be the case too but to figure out all possible outcomes I would also recommend uninstall it. CPU goes to 100% for the process for 5-10 minutes, then it goes back to normal like nothing ever happened. so your saying after 10mins of 100% it goes back down? and this happens for how long?

    There is a slight leak somewhere in strongSwan that we haven't tracked down yet, which is probably why charon was the one to die since it couldn't get more memory. Most systems have enough RAM that it goes unnoticed, but ALIX is severely limited by today's standards.

    Thanks for moving this to the right place. I did some more searching, and this post helped isolate the problem, and the last line has a valid workaround: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=84063.msg460879#msg460879 "chflags schg /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/etc/raddb/scripts/otpverify.sh" On the x86_64 architecture I tested today, the script /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/local/etc/raddb/scripts/otpverify.sh gets modified upon reboot so that the first line is just "#!" rather than "#!/usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/bin/bash".  Setting an immutable bit prevents the bad modification, but obviously that could be a problematic workaround to support. Thanks to grinyas for isolating the issue.  I'll set an immutable bit for now so we can keep this in production.

    There's really no point in obfuscating MAC addresses because they are only in your local network visible. No attack surface to be gained here. On the other side it helps someone analysing your problem. I could have seen if they are from the same manufacturer (same device?), or if the local administered bit is set, which would be an indication of virtual MACs (eg. CARP). Please provide a network diagram how your stuff is set up. Obviously somewhere is traffic leaking between your networks. In the diagram please don't obfuscate your internal network addresses. It does not help your security and makes it harder to wrap ones mind around your setup. Also don't leave out "non-critical devices". You may think they have no impact, but maybe they do.

    Hi, I have the 22nd set as cutoff date. I installed vnstat2 beginning of April and was expecting it to start with May on the 22 or 23. Maybe I posted a bit early, because I noticed, that beginning of May, it did not switch over to show the May traffic. It looks to me, like it would count until May 22, and than switch. Any thoughts? Cheers, Eddi
