    @icoso said in Snort Alert list explanation: If I only run it on the LAN ports wouldn't that only prevent my users from going outbound to certain IP's? I think you're misunderstanding how it works. In legacy mode it will check for "bad" packets going past the router, and add the "bad" IP to a table/alias, and the firewall will block packets to/from that table. It is not directional in the sense of "it's on LAN so only watches outbound." Running it on LAN also identifies which internal device triggered the rule because otherwise on WAN it is after NAT, since it's outside the firewall. You can run it on WAN, sure. Some do if they have a lot of internal interfaces and don't want that many Snort/Suricata processes running. It's a tradeoff of "scanning packets that will never actually arrive" vs convenience/RAM usage. Here is the setting I mentioned in Suricata; the packages are similar to maybe Snort has it also: [image: 1757427238489-8223c7ca-ba6c-4503-8668-2b7c03e597ef-image.png] However, on the Snort interface settings click the View List button by "IP Pass List" and you'll see which IPs are ignored by default.

    @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.

    I saw that initially but wasn't sure it was the root cause of your problem.  You could try checking your ACLs for obvious problems (like being blank or empty) and then recreating them.

    … but a reverse proxy should NOT be run on the same machine that gets all your traffic from point A to point B, that should be handled by a separate box. That is a fairly absolute statement, and there are no absolutes in the business. There are plenty of cases where a reverse proxy absolutely SHOULD be run on the same machine that gets all your traffic from point A to point B. And considering that someone went to the trouble to create a package to do it in the first place…

    Did you increase the size of the Max Table Entries? System:Advanced:Firewall/Nat  : Firewall Maximum Tables Entries? Maximum number of table entries for systems such as aliases, sshlockout, snort, etc, combined. Note: Leave this blank for the default.

    I ran into this same issue experimenting with unbound.  First I would confirm that unbound is able to answer the query.  Use 'dig <hostname>@<pfsense_lan_ip>' from a computer on the LAN. If that returns the correct response then you probably are running into the same thing I ran into.  With the default dns forwarder disabled the dhcp server was giving clients the dns servers listed in the general setup.  I had to explicitly put the LAN ip in the dns server dhcp server setting. – David</pfsense_lan_ip></hostname>

    It does work mostly fine. Except the Signal 11 problem with 2.12.03 which is the current package on pfsense.  Under heavy load it quits out and of course web stops. Upgrading to Marcells package seems to kill the GUI.

    @MilesDeep: Barnyard on two interfaces seem to be increasingly disabled.  Same two interfaces.  Not on the others barnyard is running on.  This is not the end of the world, just trying to figure out why. Look in the system log and I bet you will see some duplicate key errors thrown during database insert operations.  I'm assuming you have Barnyard2 sending data to a MySQL database.  If not, then post any system log errors.  If you are feeding a MySQL database, then go to the BARNYARD tab for each enabled interface and check the box to disable "sig_reference table" updates.  There seems to be a problem introduced with the recent barnyard2 update when multiple instances attempt to write to the same MySQL database.  The multiple instances try to insert some duplicate keys into the database, get a DB error due to that, and consequently die.

To fix this now, before the update is released, requires a number of manual actions including renaming some directories using the command line.  If you want to try the manual fix, send me a PM (private message) here on the Forum.

    reinstall the package, and give the 'ip matches ip or alias' acl a try, you can just put the name of a ip-alias there and it should work.. remember the list is only reloaded when config is written again while starting haproxy.. changing an alias does not currently trigger that.

    @ukhost4u: Hello. We have been running a range of testing using Snort and have 2 questions in regards to it: Is there any way to redirect blocked IP's to a web page (ever on the firewall or externally) which can tell the user that there IP is on the blacklist and how to go about contacting us to remove it. We do something similar to this on our CSF Linux software firewalls and its very useful for customers. We have a customer who does not want his traffic inspected by Snort, is there a way to set a rule so that if the destination IP meets the requirements that Snort ignores the rules and just whitelists any source traffic going to this destination IP? I hope someone can help with these questions. Thanks, Paul Hughes Senior Manager http://www.ukhost4u.co.uk/ For #1, no, there is currently no mechanism for that in the Snort package. For #2, I think you can accomplish what you want using the IP REPUTATION preprocessor.  Create a whitelist containing that customer's IP or IP range.  Assign that whitelist to the IP REP preprocessor for the interface using the IP REP tab for that interface.  Set the options on that page so the whitelist has priority.  IP addresses in a whitelist are NOT inspected by Snort other than the initial quick test to see if the IP is in the whitelist range.  Once that determination is made, the package bypasses the remainder of the Snort inspection engine. Go read up on the IP REPUTATION preprocess in the Snort VRT online manual here: http://manual.snort.org/node17.html#SECTION003219000000000000000 Bill
